Product no: 9000-0048-7103 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Bax Music have managed to get hold of the mythical beast that is the Ortega HYDRA: a double-neck electro-acoustic tenor ukulele equipped with a custom-made Ortega preamp. The first neck is fitted with four tenor strings, followed by the second with eight strings and, using the switch of the custom preamp, you can either single out the sound of one of them or combine both for all-out amplified uke sound. This sound stems from a resonance chamber made of ovangkol for warm, room-filling tone and a stylishly finished body with an abalone sound hole rosette and a tortoise-shell ABS binding. To make playing the HYDRA as comfortable as possible, Ortega have mounted a walnut arm rest for hours of pure playing pleasure. The result is a unique little string instrument that comes complete with a matching, rectangular gig bag.

Ortega HYDRA Double-Neck Electro-Acoustic Ukulele with Bag

Wrote the following about Ortega HYDRA Double-Neck Electro-Acoustic Ukulele with Bag
Prachtige, strak afgewerkte ukelele. 2 halzen is behoorlijk uniek, en de 8 snarige versie klinkt behoorlijk anders (lees: prachtig mooi). Wel even wennen die dubbele snaren, maar dat is een kwestie van veel spelen. Op de foto's van BAX gaan de snaren door de body (met een toegangspoort (vastgeschroefd zwart plaatje) aan de achterzijde), maar ik heb de 'normale' versie waarbij de snaren op de klassieke (als bij een nylon snarige gitaar) manier worden bevestigd. Vind ik persoonlijk mooier dan een 'beschadigd' achterblad. De bijgeleverde gigbag zorgt voor de nodige bescherming bij vervoer. Kortom, ik ben superblij met deze aankoop. Als je van ukeleles houdt, is dit volgens mij een topper.
