Description Flight NUS200 Teak Soprano Ukulele Let Your Music Take Beautiful Grain Teak Wood The body of the NUS200 is made from laminate teak 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. Teak is a widely used, strong wood that is used in boat building and furniture. Known for its water resistance and durability, it has as much punch, tone and volume as mahogany but the finish brings out an almost burnt gold colour. 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 and is very easy to work with and stable. 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.
