Flight DUS371 Soprano 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—by incorporating them into our newest laser-cut rosette design on a quality laminate soprano ukulele.
Mahogany Wood
The DUS371 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, though—mahogany ukuleles know how to growl!
Okoume Neck & Walnut Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of the DUS371 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.
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 DUS371 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.
This ukulele features a completely redesigned headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune.
