Small in size, big in sound. Light, affordable, and packed with premium features, the NUS310 is the best entry-level ukulele in the market today. Thanks to its warm sound, low maintenance, and flawless intonation, the NUS310 is a perfect instrument for a beginner and a quality addition to a large ukulele collection. Sapele is a light hardwood from tropical Africa with a golden to dark reddish brown color, which we painted black to produce a different and striking look. A close relative of mahogany, its grain is interlocked, and has a uniform texture and good natural luster. Its natural resonance is boosted and concentrated by the arched back of this ukulele, yielding a clear and bright tone. The rosettes in all Flight ukuleles are drawn by hand and engraved by laser. The neck and fingerboard of the NUS310 Blackbird are made from African okoume and composite wood. Composite wood is an eco-friendly material, which is increasingly used in instrument making, because it helps to preserve tropical rainforests. It's a great combination that guarantees a stable intonation across the fretboard, is gentle to your hands, and looks great as well. Flight has changed the nut to high-quality black pps one, so that everything on this ukulele stays black. Headstock design is an integral part of our identity. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune. Flight chose black tuners, as well as black Aquila strings. Light and stylish, yet offering excellent protection for your ukulele, Flight gigbags have already become legendary and with one hanging off your shoulder you will definitely make heads turn.
