Flight TUS-65SAPHIRE Sapphire Soprano Travel Ukulele

Sapphire is a precious gemstone that has a really deep out-of-this-world blue color, and has been historically associated with royalty, integrity and wisdom.

The TUS65 features a Linden top in deep sapphire blue tones, with a shimmering acrylic finish. With an all-plastic (ABS) body, this beauty will be a wonderful addition to your uke collection, and the perfect companion for adventures and for taking your music with you everywhere you go.

Also, be prepared to be blown away by the sound quality of this ukulele. The TUS65 is a wonderful instrument for players of any level.

Linden Wood
The TUS65 uses laminate linden wood for the sound board. Linden is characterized by a bright sound and sleek texture. It also absorbs color in a very interesting way that creates very cool patterns. We also use a special technique to apply the color, creating even more pattern variation. This means that no two models of the TUS65 look exactly the same, making your ukulele unique.

ABS Neck & Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of this ukulele are made from ABS plastic. This is a perfect solution for entry class ukuleles, since it is not prone to any changes in the weather. You will never experience a sharp fret or bent neck on our Travel ukuleles. The neck features a wooden texture, which helps the instrument to feel unlike a plastic ukulele as you play it.

Zero fret & ABS Saddle
Our travel ukuleles use a zero fret and adjustable saddle, which keeps the string action low and intonation on point. Since a plastic will not react to weather conditions like a wood ukulele, you will should never have to deal with any future saddle adjustments.

Good-looking and easy to tune
Headstock design is an integral part of our identity. The headstock veneer of TUS65 is made of linden and matches the color of the top. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always hold their tuning.

Strap button
Flight Travel Ukuleles have a rounded back, which can make them more difficult to hold for some players. We added a single strap button to the travel series to make them easier to hold. We offer a selection of Flight Ukulele Straps which would make a great accessory for your ukulele!

Always ready to go
Every Flight ukulele includes a gig bag. While the Travel Series does not need a lot of protection, a gig bag protects the strings and makes the ukulele easier to carry. We chose a blue denim color to add some style and also to make the bag stand out from the standard black gig bag that everyone else seems to favor. If you find that you would like a gig bag with more features, check out the other gig bags that we sell as accessories!
