Flight TUC50 ABS Concert Travel Ukulele, Walnut

Flight TUC50 ABS Concert Travel Ukulele, Walnut Overview

Flight Travel Ukuleles have been acclaimed for their great sound, playability, durability, and value. Flight Concert Travel Ukuleles (TUC) have a slightly larger body and a slightly longer fretboard than the Soprano Travel Ukulele, resulting in a larger sound–all the great qualities of the TUS, but bigger. Players with larger hands will enjoy the extra room on the fretboard.

Designed with an arched ABS back, the Flight TUC has more volume than the average concert ukulele, and it resonates freely with a bright, punchy sound. In addition, the ukulele is durable and resistant to humidity changes, which have damaged many wood ukuleles over the years.

Laminate Walnut

The TUC-50 uses laminate walnut for the soundboard and matching headstock. Walnut is a fascinating heartwood, preferred by luthiers for both its malleability and beauty. Walnut is stiffer and denser than Mahogany, so its tone is brighter, as bright as Koa. However, open grains allow for a more present midrange that splits the difference between Rosewood and Mahogany. And on top of that – it looks simply great! The beautiful grain, paired with our hand-drawn Salamander design is already winning many admirers the world over!

ABS Neck & Fingerboard

The neck and fingerboard of this ukulele are made from ABS plastic. The TUC is resistant to changes in climate conditions and is easy to clean and maintain. You will never experience a sharp fret or bent neck with any of our Travel ukuleles. The surface of the ABS neck has a wood pattern, which offers a better tactile experience than smooth plastic.

Zero fret & ABS Saddle

A zero fret paired with unique bridge construction keeps the string action low and intonation on point. Since the plastic is never going to react to climate conditions, you will never have to adjust the action on your ukulele.

Good-looking and easy to tune.

All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that make it easy to keep your ukulele in tune. The headstock veneer is made of linden and matches the soundboard.

Always ready to go

The Travel Ukulele Series includes a light gig bag to make the ukulele easier to carry and to protect the strings during travel. The blue colour is stylish and stands out from the black gig bags used by most players.
