Product Description

Beautiful tone and sustain makes these strings a must. Available in many different sizes and string types to suit your playing style. Your 'uke will come to life and you'll know why these are the most popular strings on the market right now! The development of a new synthetic material that can imitate the acoustical characteristics of gut but without the typical defects such as high cost, short string life, and severe instability to changes of climate, has always been a fundamental goal of Aquila's research. Nylgut is the result and is a perfect synthesis of the acoustical properties of Nylon and of PVF strings.

Concert Ukeleles
There are four common types of ukes out there: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano was the original, followed up quickly with the concert size uke. The 15-inch scale length and slightly larger body size deliver a deeper tone and a bit more volume, while maintaining the sweetness and instantly recognizable ukulele sound.

The Oscar Shmidt OU5 Concert Ukulele
The OU5 concert ukulele features a select Hawaiian Koa top, back and sides, which look striking in the natural gloss finish. The abalone binding and rosette are the icing on the cake, for an instrument that's as beautiful to look at as it is to hear.

The OU5's Nyatoh neck features a 16-fret rosewood fretboard, and Grover chrome tuning machines ensure you stay in tune.

Oscar Schmidt instruments feature a lifetime warranty, and each ukulele is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician--your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality.

About Oscar Schmidt Musical Instruments
The Oscar Schmidt Company was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911. By the early 1900s, the company had five factories in Europe and a factory on Ferry Street in Jersey City. They made all kinds of stringed instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, zithers, and Autoharps.

The company prospered through the early 1920s. Oscar Schmidt instruments were sold in many rural parts of the country where no music stores existed. Salesmen distributed the products far and wide, making them available in general, small town furniture and dry goods stores. Country guitar pickers and blues musicians living in areas of the South and in Appalachia, far from the city, frequently played Oscar Schmidt instruments because they were both inexpensive and available locally. But equally important, they were often chosen solely on merits of their superior tone and volume.

Today at Oscar Schmidt, premium woods, quality hardware and modest prices create an ideal instrument. Each is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician, your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality. Unequalled standards in easy playing comfort and tone response creates the perfect value... Oscar Schmidt.

The Intelli IMT500 Digital Tuner Lets Anyone Tune Their Instrument Like a Pro

Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner with backlight is designed to tune acoustic guitars, basses, violins, banjos, mandolins and more without interference from ambient room noise. And it does this all without the use of wires, microphones or pickups. Tuning in noisy environments is easy because the unique, flexible clamp uses the instruments


Features a bright backlit display.
vibrational energy instead of relying on sound. Plus, the swivel allows a perfect view of the backlit display. The best part is that this quality tuner costs a fraction of what other similar tuners cost.

Tune Like a Pro
Whether you are in a nosy environment or a quiet one, the Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner is the right tuner for your musical instrument. This tuner clips onto your instrument headstock and allows you to tune it using the vibrations of your strings. This wireless device is indispensible when you are on the road and warming up in a noisy venue. More sensitive than its predecessors, the IMT500 accurately senses even the vibrations of bass notes on dreadnought sized guitars.

Easy to Use and Read


Place anywhere on the headstock.
Small enough to stick in a pocket, the body of the tuner is about 2.25 inches diagonally. The meter screen itself is square at about 1.25 inches diagonally. The scale is easy to read, and is typical for many electronic tuners and easily understood. It has a calibration feature, which takes it from a 430 to a 449-A reference. It also has a flatting feature for use in tuning with a capo. It doesn't matter where you put the IMT500 on the headstock--just clip it on and pluck a string since it already knows which string you are tuning. The jaws of the clip have soft rubber pads to protect the finish of your instrument.

Vibrations Are the Key
Older clip-on tuners used to have sensitive microphones. Not the IMT500. Unlike tuners that use a built in microphone, the IMT500 doesn’t have any problems with interference from ambient noise. This tuner uses nothing but the vibrations of the plucked string. Everything else is automatic. The vibrations themselves tell the IMT500 what string is being tuned and if it is flat, sharp, or just right. The calibrate button to the right of the display screen is used to tune an instrument to a pitch other than 440 Hz. (440 Hz is the default pitch, which equals C with no flat.)

Saves Time and Money
You'll see Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner at festivals, indie concerts and jam sessions because they are worth their price and more. Less than half the cost of their predecessors, the IMT500 works a whole lot better. The price allows the serious musician to get two--one for practice, and one for the instrument case. Never forget to pack your tuner again.
