Flight Tus35 ABS Travel Ukulele - Light Blue

Travel Series: a portable ukulele with a hybrid ABS and wooden top design

The Travel Series stands out with a truly unique approach in the ukulele world: a structure mostly made of ABS plastic (body, neck, fingerboard, bridge, nut) combined with a wooden top. The goal is clear: to offer an instrument ready to accompany your daily life (transport, varied usage, frequent handling) while retaining a more "acoustic" attack and warmth thanks to the wooden top. The satin "wiped colour" finish of this Light Blue version enhances the modern and practical aspect, with a distinctive look that breaks the standards.

Who is the TUS35 for? Beginners, travelers, and musicians seeking a different uke

The TUS35 is primarily aimed at beginners: its soprano format is reassuring, the playability is immediate, and the instrument is designed to be tolerant for everyday use. It is also an excellent choice for musicians looking for a reliable travel ukulele: its ABS body and neck are designed for mobility, with a construction that limits the usual concerns associated with all-wood instruments during travel. Finally, if you like instruments with original character, the combination of a modern look and hybrid construction makes it a refreshing option for accompaniment, learning, songwriting, or casual "couch" playing.

In terms of styles, it suits pop, reggae, folk, chanson, and strumming (rhythmic) playing very well. Its soprano format encourages a lively and expressive approach, perfect for clear rhythms and crisp chords.

Projected and clear sound: linden top and arched back

On a ukulele, the top is a key element: it vibrates the most and shapes the attack, definition, and part of the tone. Here, the linden (basswood) plywood top provides a balanced response, with a clear attack and even sound reproduction, particularly suited for learning and rhythmic playing. The choice of a satin finish also helps maintain a natural feel under the fingers and a discreet aesthetic.

The arched back of the ABS body contributes to projection: it promotes sound diffusion forward and gives an immediate impression of volume, useful when playing without amplification. The ABS body and neck add a "ready-to-go" dimension: the instrument maintains a coherent sonic identity and, above all, appreciable stability for portable use. Additionally, it features a premium detail often sought by musicians: the zero fret, which contributes to a more consistent feel and better pitch coherence between open strings and fretted notes.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of this format, you can pair it with a soprano ukulele gig bag (for transport), a soprano ukulele string set (for maintenance and touch adjustment), and a tuner (useful for both beginners and travelers). A small ukulele stand can also be handy at home to prevent falls.
