The Flight NUS310 is made from laminate sapele.  Sapele is a light hardwood from tropical Africa with a golden to dark reddish brown color. 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 the NUC310, yielding a clear and bright tone. The rosettes in all our ukuleles are drawn by hand and engraved by laser. Each model has a unique design…which one is your favorite?
