The Oul Craft Soprano Model: Deep, Rich Sound Born from Meticulously Designed Construction
This soprano ukulele is a show model that was exhibited at "Sound Messe Osaka 2026" held on Saturday, May 16th to Sunday, May 17th, 2026.
While Oul Craft produces a relatively small number of soprano models, each one is crafted to a very high standard, and this instrument is no exception, boasting superb workmanship.
The top uses aged cedar. In addition to its vintage look, it offers quick response and rich harmonic resonance.
The sides feature a double rosewood construction to ensure rigidity, allowing the top wood to vibrate more naturally.
Although the instrument is extremely lightweight, thanks to the use of lightweight Spanish cedar for the neck, among other features, it is meticulously designed down to the smallest detail, achieving both lightness and strength.The internal structure features lattice bracing.
The headstock is a snakehead shape combined with a rosewood headplate, giving it a calm and elegant appearance.
The rosette and binding are made of koa, adding a warm accent to the natural aesthetic.
Being a Low-G model, it achieves a deep sound despite its soprano size. It also boasts a rich volume, allowing you to enjoy a three-dimensional sound that is hard to imagine from its size.
This soprano ukulele is a testament to Oul Craft's meticulous craftsmanship.
