Product Detail
The Flight Ukuleles Elise Ecklund Sunset Signature Soprano Ukulele is a remarkable instrument. Thanks to its wider arched ABS back, it offers more middle - range volume than an average soprano ukulele. It resonates better and produces a brighter sound. Plus, it's highly durable and resistant to humidity changes, which are the main foes of wooden ukuleles. The top is made of linden wood, known for its bright sound and sleek texture. It also allows for a vivid mountain sunset design while maintaining its beautiful tones. The neck and fingerboard are crafted from ABS plastic, a perfect choice for entry - level ukuleles as it's not affected by weather changes. You'll never encounter sharp frets or a bent neck. The neck surface mimics wood to avoid a cheap plastic feel. A zero fret paired with a unique bridge construction keeps the string action low and intonation accurate. Since the plastic parts won't move, you won't have to adjust the saddle. The uke has a black strap button due to its rounded back, preventing it from sliding on your chest. It's strung with Aquila Sugar strings, a great invention made from sugar - derived material. These strings combine the sweetness of nylon and the brightness of fluorocarbon. The headstock is not only good - looking but also easy to tune. Its veneer is made of linden to match the top and features Elise Ecklund’s signature and a colorful sunset gradient. The Travel Ukulele comes with a cool blue denim gig bag that complements your style. Technical specifications include a soprano body shape with 15 frets, linden top, ABS back and sides, ABS bridge, sunset print color, strap button, ABS neck, ABS fretboard, ABS nut and saddle, position markers at the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 12th frets, and premium features like Aquila Sugar Strings, zero fret, strap button, wooden top, arched back, open - geared tuners, ABS fretboard, side dots, and a gig bag.
Using your Flight Ukuleles Elise Ecklund Sunset Signature Soprano Ukulele is easy. First, tune it using the open - geared tuners on the headstock. The design makes it simple to get the right pitch. When you're ready to play, hold the uke against your chest. The strap button is there to keep it in place, so you can attach a strap if you like. Use your fingers or a pick to strum the Aquila Sugar strings. They have a great feel and produce a wonderful sound. As for maintenance, since the uke has ABS parts, it's quite resistant to humidity and weather changes. But it's still a good idea to keep it in the provided blue denim gig bag when not in use. This will protect it from dust and minor bumps. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear, and replace them when they start to sound dull. Also, make sure to clean the fretboard and body gently with a soft cloth to keep it looking great. With these tips, you'll enjoy your ukulele for a long time.
