Listing Info •
from the Ortega Guitars web site
The starting point for our modern company was the crafting of guitars along classical Spanish lines. Today we have taken traditional guitar-making to new levels, developing instruments that are tailored listening to our customers’ requirements. And in doing so we use all our senses – listening to them, fingering them, gauging their shape and colour. The results can be found in every single instrument we make – which you have helped to create! Connecting all these things together allows us to on pulse of time.
Ukuleles have been part of our extensive classic range since 2008 with our RU10 and RU11 models. Both of these instruments quickly became very popular.Over the years the status of ukuleles changed from being a "side"-instrument or known as a cheep toy to be a professional instrument, established; at home nearly on every stage. Since we started to make ukuleles, Ortega focused on making high quality instruments for the needs of every musician. In 2009 we upgraded our ukulele program developing the RUE series made with flamed mahogany and a plug-in pickup. 2011 is the year the LIZARD series will follow as a highlight so far. Built with help of most modern technology we also love to use lasers from time to time. Special designed preamps and pickups made by German icon Shadow completes our high needs. And....of course our weakness for Croco-designed cases continues with the LIZARD series; INCLUDING ! 2012 - make new friends! With our new "FRIENDS" (RFU) series you can make new friends starting already NOVEMBER 2011.

If your anything like me (Curt) and getting Subscription overload with everything on-line wanting money from you once a month — I'm with you. For like-minded individuals, this forever plan is a pay once and your done.
The price for Unlimited Forever access is right around the cost of a few months of private lessons. I can guarantee that is more material on-line to keep you busy for a long, long time. And, you get all of my books for FREE. That along is more than the cost of this plan.
Basic Access - A limited selection of basic lessons — ( currently over 140 ) and 100+ songs for ukulele as well as basic general music reference material — Completely FREE — Simply Register/Signup. HOWEVER - I've been doing ukulele and LearningUkulele.com since 2003 and probably have given too much away already - as reflected in my income from the site in relationship to the time spent on the site. So help support this site and its continued development by signing up for one of the below Premium Access Plans or buy a few of my books. - Thanks, Curt
NOTE: Each higher access level includes ALL the benefits of the lower levels. Private Lessons include all the benefits of a Premium Access Plans as long as you remain a student on the schedule.
Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books! — Peter Rhee
Aloha, Curt, All I can say is WOW! What you have accomplished is simply incredible! All the best — Glen Hirabayashi, The Aloha Boys
