Flight Tus35 ABS Travel Ukulele - Yellow

Travel Series: a nomadic ukulele that breaks the mold

The TUS35 embodies the "Travel Series" spirit: offering a different ukulele, designed for everyday use, travel, and environments where a traditional instrument quickly suffers (temperature changes, humidity, minor drops). Here, the recipe is simple and effective: a body largely made of ABS for durability, combined with a wooden top to maintain a more organic playing feel and sound response. The arched back is not just an aesthetic detail: it contributes to projection and a "lively" feel under the fingers, while reinforcing the overall structure.

Who is this TUS35 for: beginners, adventurers, and the curious

This ukulele is an excellent choice if you are starting out: its soprano format is immediately familiar, the handling is quick, and the ABS construction helps keep the instrument stable and reassuring daily. It is also suitable for musicians who want an easy-to-carry ukulele (bag, van, boat, studio, school) without worrying too much about minor accidents. Finally, if you are looking for a "different" instrument to complement your collection, this model has a real personality: sunny "Yellow" look, modern sensations, and a hybrid wood/ABS approach that breaks standards.

Sound and response: linden top, arched back, and projection

The core of the sound character comes from the linden top (plywood). Linden is appreciated for its balanced response: a rather soft attack, present midrange, and a pleasant tone for open chords. The fact that it is plywood enhances stability, which fits well with the "travel" philosophy: less stress facing environmental changes, while maintaining consistent behavior.

The ABS body, combined with the arched back, promotes direct and clear projection. This design can give a sensation of sound that "comes out" easily, practical for accompanying vocals, playing outdoors, or working on rhythm. You generally get a clean sustain and a homogeneous response across the strings, with a balance that highlights rhythms, simple picking, and melodies in open position.

In terms of comfort and intonation, the presence of a zero fret is a real plus: the height and behavior of the strings at the first frets become more consistent, which helps limit notes that are too hard to fret and improves timbral coherence between open and fretted strings. Add to this open geared tuners: tuning is precise, pleasant, and inspires confidence to play often without wasting time.

Recommended compatible accessories

Since this is a soprano ukulele, you can pair it with a soprano ukulele string set (to refresh the attack, improve tuning stability, or adjust tension to your touch) as well as a soprano-sized gig bag for transport. A tuner (clip-on or pedal) is also an ideal companion to fully enjoy the open geared tuners and keep impeccable tuning.
