Pineapple Soprano Ukulele - Flight 4-String Natural Series (NUP310)

Rumor has it that pineapple-shaped ukuleles are apparently the great-grandfathers of all modern ukuleles, and Flight had to have one in its range. Its round shape gives more volume and a fuller tone than a standard soprano, making it not only look fun but also capable of producing a lot of noise. Sapele, a light hardwood from tropical Africa with a golden to dark reddish brown color, is the material used for the body. A close relative of mahogany, its grain is interlocked, and it has a uniform texture and good natural luster. The natural resonance of the NUP310 is boosted and concentrated by its arched back, yielding a clear and bright tone.

The neck and fingerboard of the NUP310 are made from African Okoume and walnut, a great combination that guarantees a stable intonation across the fretboard, is gentle on the hands, and looks great. The nut and saddle of the NUP310 are made from bone, not plastic, which is just one of the details that make this ukulele truly special. The rosettes in all Flight ukuleles are drawn by hand and engraved by laser, adding to the ukulele's unique character.

The headstock design is an integral part of the Flight ukulele's identity. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune. Light and stylish, yet offering excellent protection for the ukulele, Flight gig bags have already become legendary, and with one hanging off your shoulder, you will definitely make heads turn.

In summary, the NUP310 ukulele from Flight is a standout instrument with its pineapple-shaped body, sapele wood construction, and carefully crafted details. The combination of materials and design elements, such as the bone nut and saddle, hand-drawn rosettes, and geared tuners, contribute to its exceptional tone and playability, making it a unique and desirable choice for ukulele enthusiasts.
