Flight DUC373 Concert Ukulele, African Mahogany Overview
Ki’i Pohaku (literally “images in stone”) are petroglyphs carved into lava rock surfaces by ancient Hawaiians. It has been suggested that these curious carvings were used to mark important events, document travels, and track family lineage. We decided to commemorate Ki’i Pohaku in the way we do best– incorporating them into our newest laser-cut rosette design on a high-quality laminate mahogany ukulele.
Mahogany Wood
The Flight DUC373 is made from laminate mahogany. Mahogany is a hardwood that 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. Do not let the “sober” look of mahogany fool you—mahogany ukuleles know how to growl!
Okoume Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of the DUC373 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.
Walnut bridge & plastic nut and saddle
The nut and saddle of the DUC373 are made from high-quality plastic. They hold the correct spacing for the strings, determine the action of the instrument, and efficiently transmit vibration from the strings to the body of the instrument.
Good-looking and easy to tune
This ukulele features a completely redesigned headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune.
