Beautiful Grain
Acacia Wood
The body of the NUS250 is made from laminate acacia wood. We have found that laminate woods provide a wonderful sound with subtle control, which is why we can create a beautiful sounding ukuleles without breaking the bank. Acacia is in the same family as koa, featuring bright tones, lots of punch, and plenty of sustain. In fact, we like it so much that we can’t stop looking at it.
Let's play
Meranti Neck & Nandu Fingerboard
The misconception over a soprano fretboard is that the spaces between the frets are too narrow meaning larger sized fingers can’t form chords. The difficulty actually lies is in the width of the fretboard (called “nut width” in ukulele circles). Many ukuleles today are made with a nut width of 35mm. We have thought outside the box and created a soprano ukulele with a 38mm nut. This gives fingers of all shapes and sizes to form chords and adds a great deal of comfort and playability to the instrument.
While we’re talking about the fretboard, it is made from nandu, a wood local to Indonesia. The neck is made from meranti, which is similar to mahogany .
It all starts with the head.
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.
Light and Stylish Gig Bag
Travel Safe
To top it all off, no Flight ukulele ever leaves our nest without being safely wrapped up in a gig bag.
