Description Flight WUS-3 Laminate mahogany soprano ukulele Let your music take Centered sound Mahogany wood Mahogany is one of the most commonly used woods for musical instruments, whether solid or laminate. It is a hard wood, but it is not as dense as other hard woods such as rosewood or walnut. Mahogany produces a sound that is focused, loud, and centered in the mid and lower ranges. The WUS–3 uses laminate mahogany of the highest quality, paired with traditional construction. We have increasingly found that laminate woods gives us a huge amount of control over the sound of an instrument which is why we can create a beautiful sounding ukulele without breaking your bank. You will love how it sounds and plays. Simple yet complex Mahogany neck & walnut fingerboard Don’t let the simple design of the WUS–3 fool you into thinking it is a run-of-the-mill laminate ukulele. The WUS–3 is built in a traditional style with a fret board made of attractive pacific walnut. It has fifteen frets, and the neck has a thin D-shape profile. Combined with great action, the WUS–3 is a joy to play. Breathing room Bone nut & walnut bridge The WUS–3 uses a bone nut and saddle to better transmit vibrations to the sound board. The nut is a tiny piece of the ukulele, but it has an incredible impact on the playability of an instrument. The WUS–3 comes with a slightly larger nut than many Flight ukuleles, measuring in at just over 36mm. A wider nut makes it easier to play a shorter scale ukulele, such as the case of the WUS–3, which is a soprano scale ukulele. Combined with great action and a wider nut, you will find this ukulele to have more finger room than most soprano ukuleles and even some larger scale ukuleles! 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 hold their tuning. Light and stylish gig bag Travel Safe To top it all off, no Flight uke ever leaves our nest without being safely wrapped up in a gig bag. Instructional booklet Learn in style. We have also designed a cute 8-page guide to help you on the road to future ukulele fame. It is packed with all the necessary information needed for a quick start including chord charts, strumming patterns and chord progressions for your first drills.
