Ortega RU5 Concert Ukulele

Ortega RU5 Concert Ukulele — Bonfire Series

The Ortega RU5 Concert Ukulele from the Bonfire Series combines classic craftsmanship, quality tonewoods, and eye-catching details to deliver an exceptional playing experience. Designed in Germany, this ukulele brings together traditional construction with modern flair, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned players alike.

The RU5 features a spruce top that provides outstanding brightness and a strong mid-range tone, while the sapele back and sides add warmth and character. Its mahogany neck, finished in satin, enhances comfort and playability, and the walnut fretboard and bridge offer a smooth feel with a refined appearance.

A laser-engraved butterfly motif on the body top adds a distinctive visual element, complemented by tortoise-style ABS binding, giving the instrument a sophisticated, natural look.

For reliable performance, the RU5 comes equipped with die-cast chrome tuning machines with black buttons. These sealed tuners allow for smooth, precise tuning and long-lasting durability.

The concert size (380mm scale) provides a perfect balance between crisp articulation and full, resonant tone. Its 68mm deep body delivers a warm, punchy sound that easily fills any room. With four nylon strings tuned to high-G (G-C-E-A), this ukulele is ready for both casual playing and performance.

Part of Ortega’s best-selling Bonfire Series, the RU5 offers exceptional value, elegant design, and reliable playability — a true extension of the player.
