Overall, its tone makes it a great choice for folk and bluegrass music (sounds a lot like a mandolin), but it’s worth experimenting with all styles. The axe comes with mahogany top, back, and sides, pearl dot inlays, satin finish, chrome tuners, NuBone nut and saddle, and Aquila strings. When you pluck or pick one string, you’re really playing two strings an octave apart (except for the top two strings which are tuned in unison), which produces a fuller sound, rich with warmth, plus undertones and harmonics. Like a 12-string guitar or a mandolin, this one features a double course of strings. One of the reasons people are attracted to Oscar Schmidt’s ukuleles is because of their double-course stringed instruments, like this one, the Oscar Schmidt OU28TE eight-string tenor ukulele. Package dimensions: 23 x 7 x 4 inches Oscar Schmidt OU28TE 8-String Tenor Ukulele, Satin Finish In general, users loved the ukulele and its appearance, durability, and overall quality. So, that might be a consideration if you’re planning to play your axe in group situations. It has nice, balanced highs, but unfortunately it isn’t necessarily going to give you the volume you need in a jam. In terms of sound, this uke doesn’t necessarily have strong projection or resonance. So far as Oscar Schmidt ukes are concerned, this one is close to the top of the chain. Trust me when I say this instrument looks even more incredible in person (the picture doesn’t do it justice). Its symmetrical, high-contrast appearance is striking, and it comes with a spalted mango body, synthetic bone nut and saddle, abalone binding and rosette, as well as a deluxe heavy duty gig bag. I have purchased other Oscar Schmidt Ukes from because I liked this one so much.As a uke fan, it would prove an uphill battle to resist this beautiful Oscar Schmidt OU7TK Spalted Mango tenor ukulele. I know it isn't solid but the tone is better than many of my mahogany ukes and just looks like I paid twice as much. Other than these criticisms, I like this ukulele.įor the price, you can't find a lower priced koa uke. Aesthetically, it is a beautiful little instrument, and the tone is warm. I had to lower the action a little for my liking, but it was easily done. That is something I don't care for in the tenor model as well. I would have liked that to be more consistent. I was hoping the neck would have been scaled down a little (a little thinner etc.) When the strings enter the saddle, they are farther apart from each other than when they left the nut. I am a little disappointed with this instrument because it is just a stubby version of the Oscar Schmidt Tenor Ukulele.
