The Flight DUC373 Mahogany Concert Ukulele is a tribute to Hawaii's rich heritage. Ki'i Pohaku, or 'images in stone,' are ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs on lava rock that tell stories of events, journeys, and family histories. We've honored this tradition with a stunning laser - cut rosette design inspired by these carvings.

Using your Flight DUC373 Mahogany Concert Ukulele is a breeze. First, take it out of the gig bag gently. Use the geared tuners on the redesigned headstock to tune your ukulele to the right pitch. Refer to the included instructional booklet for chord charts and strumming patterns, especially if you're a beginner. Start with simple chords and gradually move on to more complex ones.
When you're done playing, put the ukulele back in the gig bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and bumps. Keep it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the wood.
To maintain your ukulele, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Check the strings regularly for wear and tear, and replace them when needed. The high - quality plastic nut and saddle don't need much maintenance, but if you notice any issues with intonation, you might want to consult a professional. Enjoy making beautiful music with your Flight ukulele!
