Flight TUS55 Travel Soprano Ukulele - Mango
The Flight TUS55 Mango Travel Soprano Ukulele is a stunning marriage of exotic aesthetics and high-performance durability. This soprano model is part of the Flight Ukuleles Travel Series, featuring a laminate mango wood top that is celebrated for its unique, often unpredictable grain patterns and warm, honey-coloured hues. It is the perfect choice for the musician who wants a "boutique" look in a compact, nearly indestructible frame.
Exotic Mango Tone and Hybrid Engineering
The mango wood soundboard provides a tonal profile that is beautifully balanced, offering more warmth than spruce but a bit more "zing" and clarity than mahogany. This top is paired with Flight's signature rounded, arched ABS plastic back. This hybrid construction ensures that the instrument can survive extreme temperature changes and humidity shifts that would typically cause an all-wood ukulele to crack or warp. The arched back serves a dual purpose, acting as a natural resonator to boost volume and project a punchy, crisp sound.
Worry-Free Playability
Designed for the adventurous player, the TUS55 features a reinforced ABS plastic neck and fretboard. This means the neck will never bow, and you will never have to deal with sharp "fret sprout" caused by dry air. The inclusion of a zero fret keeps the string action low and comfortable right at the nut, making it incredibly easy to play for beginners and pros alike.
