Introducing The Mintaka

Each ORION ukulele draws inspiration from a star forming the well-known constellation. The Mintaka, an all mahogany body constructed with solid carved woods, was given a plain satin finish in stark contrast with the standard gloss finish bestowed onto its cousins. Proving to be an effective choice, it helped demonstrate the fineness of the wood grain utilised, and is complimented by a multicoloured arrow-styled rosette and rope binding. Rosewood on the fretboard makes for a sweet and softened sound when in conjunction with the mahogany's natural frequency range.

The body is coated in polyurethane to improve durability, sporting a high gloss finish as a result, and the end pin serves as the jack input, preventing the instrument cable from interfering with your performance.

The pearl dot inlays spread across the fingerboard are sequenced in a way that emulates the seven most recognised stars in the Orion constellation, giving the fret markers a decorative layout exclusive to this brand name. The bridge houses a compensated saddle for superior intonation, and serves as a string-thru body for heightened resonance. The thin and lowered fretwires are seamless and soft to play on, forgiving to beginners if they overlap the adjacent frets with their fingertips.
