The ‘Oli L1-SP-TMG-P is a purple tenor ukulele and it’s lovely.

I’m tempted to leave it at that! Over the years people have tried to gauge my level of enthusiasm for a ukulele from the description I write. Honestly, that’s more to do with what time it is and what the day’s been like. This is being written at 7pm at the end of a long Monday! It’d probably take a ukulele that could make me a coffee and give my stiff shoulders a rub to go full on enthusiastic! But honestly, it is lovely.

It has, with its low G, a nice, smooth, warm richness. The trebles have a clear, yet warm-edged voice, silky and delicate. The overall balance is very pleasing on the ear. And to the eye? Well, it’s just an absolute peach isn’t it. Or maybe a grape, or blackcurrant, given the colour. The contrasting maple binding I find absolutely lovely.

The L1-SP-TMG is a special edition uke made from all solid mango. It has a 37mm nut width and comes with an excellent hard case. The tuners are brilliant Gotoh UPT rear facing geared models, and there’s a side soundport, lattice bracing and radiussed fretboard.

So, don’t worry that I’ve not written essays thanking the ukulele gods for this wonderful ukulele, in poetry and verse. I am just old, tired and have been writing descriptions now for 3.5 solid hours. I think this is great. I really do.

At the bottom of the page you will find a number of standard optional extras. These are the same for every uke on the site, and as this has a hard case and low G already, it’s only really fitted strap buttons that will apply in the case of this Oli tenor uke.
