Okoume Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of the DUC323 are made from African okoume 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.
Bone Nut & Walnut Bridge
The nut may seem to be a small component, but it plays a critical role in the quality of the sound of an instrument. The nut and saddle of the DUC323 EQ are made from bone (not from plastic). This is just one of the details that makes this ukulele truly special.
Good-looking and easy to tune.
All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune.
Flight FU-T3 pickup
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 allows you the freedom to plug in wherever and whenever you like!
