ParticipantHi there.
I am very pleased to be here in this ukulele group 🙂
am new here on rockclass101.
I play on a Cordoba Concert now, which i really like. But i would like to “upgrade” to a Tenor Ukulele (maybe with pickup) and i thought about the Ortega Lizard TE-GB – anybody knows that one ?I heard it being played on Instagram by a guy called carlos_bone_padilla and i really like the sound and the style.
Maybe somebody here knows more than me ?
Thanks in advance.
Keep on strumming 🙂

AndrewKeymasterHi Johanna, looks like no-one has played this brand. Reach out to Mike at http://www.ukerepublic.com/. He’ll for sure know about this brand and be able to answer your questions. Tell him I sent ya 🙂

ParticipantHi Andrew.
Thank you – i will do that! 🙂May 12, 2019 at 3:46 pm #27276
jinajupiterParticipantI play Ortega Horizon concert. Very happy with it. It’s made out of Bamboo. I think it’s a German brand. Not only does it look funny with the tuning knobs on the downside of the neck. The sound is very bright and sparkly.

sprintingyoginiParticipantI have an Ortega concert. It’s a blue one with cutaway and pickup from the Earth Series. I switched the strings our for Living Water. The main thing that bugs me is the logo on the head is a sticker, so that looks cheap and it’s gonna wear off, but the important part of how it sounds is good. It has decent volume. It’s light. It feels pretty balanced and overall I like it. Plus, they’re reasonably priced.
After I wrote this, I noticed your question was asked a long time ago. So, did you get one and how is it?

sprintingyoginiParticipantAlso, here she is. I named her Little Eddie Bouvier.

ParticipantThank you jinajupiter and sprintingyogini for sharing your experience. Both ukuleles look great 🙂
I did not play for a long time and right now i don’t even have a uke, but maybe the next paycheck let’s me buy one 👍Happy strumming 🙂

jinajupiterParticipantI must say though after comparing with other Ukes the notes on my Ortega don’t sustain as much after playing. So some how the sound dies faster.
