Colors forged from the beginnings of time. Deep oranges and brown. Timeless shades that betray an age old sound and wisdom that is a beautiful today as it was way back.
The concert size brings the best of both worlds into one instrument. The mahogany makes this uke sing like a soprano but the scale length and cutaway means you have the same scope of exploration as a tenor uke. Add into the mix, a pickup, you have a ukulele that you can play on your own or to a crowd.
Mahogany Wood
The Flight DUC380 CEQ Concert Ukulele is made from laminate mahogany. Mahogany is a hardwood which has been used to make quality musical instruments for centuries. It is known for its solid and punchy tone, with low overtone quality and good high-end response. It is highly resilient, and with that excellent resistance it is very stable and less likely to warp than many other species of wood.
Okoume Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard are made from African okoume and walnut wood. It’s a great combination that guarantees a stable intonation across the fretboard. It’s gentle to your hands, and looks great as well.
Stylish Cutaway
At Flight we want you to reach your full potential as a musician. You won’t always need the cutaway but it’s there for when your exploration takes you further than you ever thought possible.
Flight FU-T3 pickup
The preamplifier/EQ is a device that lets you connect a ukulele to an amplifier. The preamp features a tuner, saving you the headache of remembering where you left your tuner the night before! Most importantly though, this small device allows you the freedom to plug in wherever and whenever you like!
Strap Button
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!
Bone Nut & Walnut Bridge
The nut may seem to be a small component, but it plays a critical role in the overall sound of an instrument. The nut and saddle of this ukulele are made from bone (not from plastic), which results in better tone quality.
Good-looking and easy to tune.
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.
Excellent Protection for Your Uke
Light and stylish, yet offering excellent protection for your ukulele, Flight gig bags have already become legendary! With one hanging off your shoulder, you will definitely make heads turn.
