Concert scale soprano ukuleles are rare, but we would like them to become more recognized – they are a perfect combination of both worlds by merging the qualities of a soprano ukulele with the increased comfort of a concert neck. This vintage-styled ukulele packs a punch with its solid mahogany construction, thin and resonant sound board, and quality geared tuners.
Wood with a story to tell.
All-solid Mahogany
The Flight LUS5 is made of solid mahogany. Mahogany is a hardwood which has been used to make quality musical instruments for centuries. Its colour can vary a fair amount, from a pale pinkish brown to a darker reddish brown, and it tends to darken with age. Solid mahogany packs a punch unmatched to any other instrument, which is why it is perfect for a vintage style ukulele like our LUS5.
Let's play.
Mahogany Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of this ukulele are made from African Mahogany and Walnut. It’s a great combination that guarantees a stable intonation across the fretboard, is gentle to your hands, and looks great as well.
Pitch perfect.
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.
It all starts with the head.
Good-looking and easy to tune.
This ukulele features a carefully-designed headstock fitted with quality tuners that will always stay in tune.
