Octopus
Academy series

Octopus has been providing high quality beginner ukuleles for over a decade, and the Academy series carries this tradition forward.

It is a core part of the Octopus brand philosophy that an instrument should encourage and inspire the player. This is especially important for a first instrument which can make the difference between a lifelong passion and a passing fad gathering dust.

The selection of colours for this wave of the Academy series represent fresh takes on the most popular finishes of previous Octopus models, re-imagined to excite the creative senses.

Explore and unleash your inner musician with one of the most popular instruments of the moment, and trust Octopus to deliver a standard of instrument which belies the modest price point.

Build quality

Octopus ukuleles are built to be enjoyed for a lifetime. The Academy range continues to surpass expectation – an improved production process bringing the highest quality sound and finish yet.

Each component has been carefully selected and constructed, delivering excellence in each instrument. A classical guitar style bridge is accurately bonded to the body for excellent sound production, tuning pegs are geared like a guitar so they hold their pitch for longer and all side walls are fully lined for stability, sound projection and a high quality appearance.

Octopus have even smoothed all edges and every fret for a finish surpassing that of many more expensive ukes.
