An Artistic Flight Edition, Between Dragon Culture and "Travel" Spirit
The TUS Jade Dragon is part of Flight's Travel Ukulele series, designed to offer a durable and practical instrument without sacrificing playing pleasure. This version stands out through its collaboration with singer Green Apelsin (Angela Zhirkova) and a dragon visual, a traditional symbol of strength, wisdom, and longevity. Designed as a "favorite" model as much as a daily instrument, it combines a striking aesthetic with technical choices focused on durability.
Who Is This Flight TUS Jade Dragon For?
Thanks to its soprano format and "travel" approach, this ukulele is especially suited for beginners (immediate playability, simple and direct feel) and nomadic musicians seeking a reliable instrument for rehearsing, traveling, or composing. It naturally excels in styles where the ukulele shines: pop, chanson, folk, light pick accompaniment or strumming, as well as more percussive patterns. It is also an excellent choice for those looking for a strongly designed instrument to gift or collect.
Sound: Bright Attack, Clear Projection, and a "Sunny" Character
The laminated basswood top delivers a clear and balanced response with a quick attack, ideal for crisp rhythms and dynamic playing. The arched back enhances projection and helps the instrument remain present even with a compact body. The body and much of the instrument are made of ABS, which increases stability against temperature and humidity changes-a real plus for a travel ukulele-while maintaining a clear and bright tone.
The Aquila Nylgut strings contribute to a "traditional" feel under the fingers, with stable intonation and pleasant brightness. The presence of a zero fret helps even out the response of open and fretted strings, improving playing consistency, especially for open chords frequently used on soprano ukuleles.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, choose a soprano ukulele string set (including Aquila Nylgut, as factory-installed). The strap button also allows the use of a ukulele-appropriate strap (depending on the chosen attachment type).
