Description Flight WUS-4 Laminated Koa Soprano Ukulele Let your music take Centered sound Koa wood Koa is a magical wood, a type of acacia wood that is grown only on Hawaii. Only koa trees that fall on their own can be harvested, making the wood even more rare. Ukuleles made from solid koa have a special sound—some would call it the “true” sound of a ukulele—and that is why koa is highly sought after as a tone wood. We have used laminate koa for the WUS-4, made of koa, from Hawaii. While we will never claim the WUC-4 is solid koa, the WUC-4 is open, balanced, and brilliant—all features of koa. Simple yet complex Mahogany neck & walnut fingerboard Don’t let the simple design of the WUS-4 fool you into thinking it is a run-of-the-mill laminate ukulele. The WUS-4 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-4 is a joy to play. Breathing room Bone nut & walnut bridge The WUS-4 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-4 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-4, 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 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.
