Our Play series was designed for both children and the child in all of us at any age.
MORE ON THE OCTOPUS DESIGN
We dare you not to smile at this exuberant octopus in deep play with ukulele in hand (or tentacle!). Are you ready for a swim?
These Play Series ukes are also our way of sending good medicine out in the world.
Our magic formula?
You buy a ukulele = We give a ukulele.
With every purchase of an Alkemi signature or laser etched mahogany ukulele on Alkemiinstruments.com, we send one of these happy ukuleles to hospitals with music therapy programs. Our first partner is Johns Hopkins All Children’s in St. Petersburg Florida.
There are alchemical treasures floating around octopus waiting to be found: An “A” for Alkemi, the planets Neptune and Saturn, the element Water, a Star, and a Crown. A Musical Note, Keys and a Keyhole are also suspended in this Octopus’s garden. The Play series comes in aqua on blue, pink on black or black on white.
