Flight Flight: NUT310 Sapele Tenor Ukulele With Bag -

An Accessible Tenor in the Flight Spirit: Neat Look and Relevant Material Choices

The NUT310 is positioned as an entry-level model at Flight, designed to offer the essentials without compromising on the elements that truly matter in use. It features simple and coherent lutherie, with a sapele body and refined aesthetic details, such as the laser-engraved rosette with the "Wild Deer" motif. The goal is clear: to offer an affordable tenor ukulele that is pleasant to play and inspiring enough to encourage frequent practice.

In this range, the NUT310's appeal also lies in highlighting technical choices rarely found at this price level, notably the bone nuts, usually reserved for more ambitious instruments. The result: an instrument that remains accessible while delivering a quality feel from the very first notes.

Who the Flight NUT310 Is For: An Easy Tenor to Progress, Compose, and Accompany

This ukulele is well suited for beginners who want to start directly with a tenor format, as well as intermediate players looking for a practical, reliable, and musical instrument. The tenor offers more space on the neck than a soprano, which helps with chord placement, working on clean transitions, and approaching richer positions without feeling cramped.

Its natural playground is broad: pop, folk, variety, vocal accompaniment, but also arpeggios, light picking, and strumming rhythms. If you're looking for a ukulele with a deeper register and a stronger presence than a concert, the tenor format of the NUT310 is an excellent starting point.

Sound: The Warmth of Sapele and the Definition of Bone Nuts

With a top, back, and sides in sapele, the NUT310 aims for a warm and balanced sound, often appreciated for its midrange roundness and even response. Sapele is often compared in spirit to mahogany-type woods: a musical, soft, and very pleasant output for accompaniment, especially when fingerpicking or regular strumming.

The tenor format strongly contributes to the sense of depth: you gain in fullness, projection, and note sustain, which helps chords "fill" the space, especially when accompanying vocals. Finally, the presence of a bone nut and bone saddle improves vibration transmission: the attack sounds more precise, notes are better articulated, and the instrument responds more clearly when increasing dynamics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of your instrument daily, you can plan for a tenor ukulele string set (the NUT310 comes with Aquila strings) to have a spare set, as well as a chromatic tuner (clip-on or pedal) for quick and precise tuning. The included gig bag is ideal for travel, rehearsals, and lessons.
