Did you know

• Oscar Schmidt, founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911, has a long heritage of crafting stringed instruments, including ukuleles. The company initially sold its instruments in rural areas where music stores were scarce.
• The Oscar Schmidt OU5 is considered a mid-range concert ukulele within the brand's offerings, often seen as a standard alternative that prioritizes performance over flashy features. It sits above budget models like the OU2, which is often recommended for beginners.
• The OU5 is chosen for its classic Hawaiian aesthetic and sound, featuring a handcrafted laminated Koa body, abalone binding, and abalone rosette. It also boasts quality Grover tuners for tuning stability and a mellow, sweet, and rich sound with fair projection.
