Octopus Rosette series
The Rosette is a new addition to the Octopus range, and is for the intermediate player or adult beginner. The Rosette series features two laser etched Octopus designs, a NuBone nut and saddle, Aquila Nylgut strings and chrome die cast tuners, and is a delight to play. Each ukulele comes with a quality gig bag and is supplied in a colourful box.
The Rosette series is endorsed by renowned ukulele teacher and performer, Andy Eastwood.
Tenor size and range
The tenor ukulele is the largest in our current Octopus range and is the next step up from the concert in size. They have several extra frets on the neck, giving a slightly bigger range. The extra size also gives the tenor a deeper and fuller sound and a more resonant tone. It also results in more space between the strings and frets, making the tenor ukulele suitable for larger hands and fingerpicking.
Unique etched design
Inspired by an iconic piece of Japanese artwork depicting the power of the ocean, this ukulele features a wave design etched onto the body. There are two designs available – see our full range for additional options.
Carefully selected materials & Build quality
The Rosette series are built to last. The top, back, and sides are made of laminated open pore sapele wood, which has been sustainably sourced and beautifully finished in a rich satin sheen. The side walls are fully lined to increase projection
Each component has been carefully selected, to ensure durability and a consistent tone. A tie bar bridge is accurately bonded to the body for excellent sound production, and silver chrome die cast tuners make for reliable tuning.
Graph Tech NuBone XB
This new material helps produce more volume and a better tone, because Nubone doesn’t dampen string vibration, instead it transfers the optimum frequencies to the ukulele.
Aquila Nylgut® strings
The quality of the strings is also very important – for tone, accurate tuning and for ease of playing. Each ukulele comes fitted with Aquila Nylgut® strings as standard – produced exclusively in Italy and the best in the world for intonation and tone.
Free carry case
A superior ukulele deserves a superior gig bag, and the included padded bag is finished with Octopus zip pulls and a pair of adjustable backpack straps.

How it's made
Here’s a video overview of how an Octopus ukulele is made.
Care & maintenance
It’s good practice to wipe down your ukulele with a slightly damp cloth after use (add a couple of drops of washing up liquid if there are greasy finger marks). Once it’s dry, pop it in the gig bag, as this will protect it from scratches and spills. Then store the gig bag somewhere safe, where it won’t get knocked about, or have other things stacked on top!
If you’re not likely to play for some time, slacken off the tuning slightly. This will reduce the strain on the instrument.
If you break a string, replace it with the same Aquila Nylgut type that it came with – this will ensure you have a set of strings that all sound the same.
