With the Duo Soprano, EKO offers an affordable ukulele that focuses on the essentials: simple and coherent lutherie, a natural satin mahogany finish that highlights the grain, and above all a useful accessory pack to start without any worries. The widely used soprano format facilitates learning chord positions and easily accompanies you everywhere thanks to the included case.
This Duo Soprano is primarily aimed at beginners who want a reliable and pleasant first instrument, but it will also suit intermediate players looking for a simple soprano to travel with, work on rhythms, or enrich a collection. Its warm temperament is particularly suited to strumming (accompaniment), pop, folk, songs, and learning the basics (open chords, rhythms, first arpeggios).
The combination of mahogany top, back, and sides promotes a soft and warm response, with present midrange and never harsh treble: an ideal signature for steady rhythms and a "singing" sound in chords. The soprano format provides a lively attack and beautiful clarity while maintaining a woody character thanks to the mahogany. The satin finish, thinner than a thick varnish, contributes to a natural feel under the fingers and pleasant resonance. The Aquila strings contribute to tuning accuracy and projection, making the instrument ready to play right out of the case.
To go further, you can consider a clip-on chromatic tuner (practical and universal) and, if needed, a set of soprano ukulele strings (the scale length of this model corresponds to a soprano). The pack already includes a case, a spare string set, a tuning fork, and a chord manual.
