Flight A10 FM Faded Blue 10 Anniv Tenor

A "10th Anniversary" Edition Designed as a Showcase of Premium Finishes

With its "10 Anniv" designation, the A10 FM Faded Blue emphasizes a celebration/special edition approach: choice of solid woods, refined aesthetic details, and comfort elements usually reserved for more exclusive instruments. The Faded Blue tint applied in a wiped finish allows the flamed maple grain to breathe and enhances the "showpiece" character of this model, while maintaining a true musical vocation: a responsive, precise, and expressive tenor.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This model is aimed at the intermediate to advanced musician who wants to step up in comfort, tuning accuracy, and manufacturing quality, without losing the simplicity and immediacy typical of the ukulele. The tenor format (long scale) provides more space between frets and a feel closer to a small "stage" instrument, appreciated in accompaniment (pop, folk, variety), rich chord playing, and fingerstyle. Thanks to its clarity and quick response, it is also very suitable for modern arrangements, light percussive playing, and melodic parts where articulation must remain clear in a mix.

A Bright, Precise, and Projected Sound Thanks to Solid Maple

The combination of a solid top and solid back/sides in flamed maple delivers a distinctive tonal signature: sharp attack, well-focused midrange, and bright highs. Maple is known for its "fast" response: each note starts cleanly, highlighting arpeggios, crisp rhythms, and complex voicings. In tenor format, this brightness naturally balances with more body and sustain than on a smaller size, offering a pleasant sustain for melodic phrases.

The pair of ebony fingerboard and bridge enhances precision and definition while providing a solid feel under the fingers. Regarding tuning accuracy, the compensated nut and pin bridge contribute to stable vibration and more even tuning across the entire neck. Finally, the Brazilian fluorocarbon strings favor clear articulation and direct projection, ideal for standing out in solo or acoustic group playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of this tenor ukulele, you can pair it with a chromatic tuner (clip-on), a universal instrument stand, a microfiber cloth to preserve the finish, and a humidifier for solid wood instruments during dry periods. Since a Deluxe gig bag is already included, you have an immediately suitable transport solution.
