We use laminate sapele for our NUS310 Soprano.  Sapele is a light hardwood from tropical Africa with a golden to dark reddish brown colour, which we painted black to produce a different and striking look. A close relative of mahogany, its grain is interlocked and has a uniform texture and good natural luster. Its natural resonance is boosted and concentrated by the arched back of this ukulele, yielding a clear and bright tone. The rosettes in all our ukuleles are drawn by hand and engraved by laser.

Of course, it is good to learn how to play the ukulele without using a strap, but why not use a strap and you can have it both ways? A strap makes holding the ukulele easier so you can keep playing for hours. It also allows you to be ‘hands free’ between songs. We at Flight care about the comfort of our Flighters, which is why we started adding strap buttons to all Flight ukes!

Headstock design is an integral part of our identity. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune. We chose black tuners, as well as Black Flight Nylon Strings.
