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 will have the same scope of fret exploration as a tenor uke. Add into the mix a pickup and you have a ukulele that you can play on your own or to a crowd.
The Flight DUC380 CEQ Coral 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.
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. 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 you when your exploration takes you further than you ever thought possible.
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 will allow you the freedom to plug-in wherever and whenever you like!
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! 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.
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, 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.
We have also designed 8-page guide packed with all the necessary information needed for a quick start including chord charts, strumming patterns and chord progressions for your first drills.
