Flight Ukuleles is celebrating its tenth anniversary!  Flight has decided to celebrate its tenth anniversary by releasing four amazing tenor ukuleles.  While Flight is known for making high quality, affordably ukuleles, these anniversary models represent a new frontier for the company—solid wood ukuleles individually crafted by a master luthier, with a level of craftsmanship, playability, and sound rivaling the finest ukuleles on the planet.

Spectacular maple

The A10 FM Faded Blue Tenor Ukulele features stunning solid flamed maple for the body of the instrument–resulting in a ukulele that is as stunning to look at as much as it is beautiful to hear.   The body is amazing as it fades from natural flamed  maple to blue.  Each ukulele in our A10 series is handcrafted by a single master luthier.

The finest neck and fingerboard

Maple neck & ebony fingerboard

Maple–used for the neck–is a great, strong, and visually striking hardwood.  The fretboard is made of ebony, which is thought to be the finest hardwood for a fingerboard. Ebony gives a clear, crisp attack and offers a slick and fast playing experience.

Pitch perfect

Bone compensated saddle and pin bridge

The A10 Series features an ebony bridge (matching the fretboard), as well as a real bone nut and a compensated saddle. Compensated saddles help to properly set the intonation of each string.  The A10 series uses a pin bridge system, which helps keep the strings properly aligned on the ukulele, as well as to create a break angle over the saddle that transfers vibrations efficiently to the soundboard of the ukulele.

Luxurious comfort

Ebony arm rest

The arm rest on the A10 FM Faded Blue Tenor Ukulele makes it more comfortable to hold and play.  The long you play this ukulele, the more you will want to play it!

A twist on our headstock design

Special anniversary headstock

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we wanted to feature ukuleles with a different headstock, so while the A10 models feature some similarity to our Royal Series, we have adapted the anniversary models with a special twist to make them unique and special.
