Flight Ultra Travel Soprano Ukulele - Ink -

A model that takes the series' nomadic DNA even further

With the Flight Ultra Travel Series, the Slovenian brand takes the travel ukulele concept that has contributed greatly to its reputation and evolves it into a more modern design. The Ink model stands out with its understated, deep Black finishing, while retaining the practical spirit of the range: a compact, durable instrument designed to follow musicians everywhere.

In this series, the UTS-35 does not try to imitate a traditional ukulele at all costs. Instead, it embraces a highly contemporary identity, with a molded body, a neck and key made from the same material, and construction focused on everyday reliability. This is what makes it so appealing: a true soprano ukulele, redesigned for transportation, travel and environments that are less suitable for a more traditional instrument.

Who is the Ultra Travel Ink for, and which styles does it excel in?

With its soprano size, compact dimensions and exceptionally easy-going design, this Flight will particularly appeal to musicians looking for a travel ukulele, a holiday instrument, a second instrument that can easily be left in a car, office or suitcase, or a first model without demanding maintenance requirements. The beginner's guide supplied by the brand is in keeping with this approach.

Its direct touch and fast response make it enjoyable for open chords, light strumming, acoustic pop, nursery rhymes, ukulele-and-vocal accompaniment and the relaxed atmospheres typically associated with soprano ukuleles. More advanced musicians will mainly see it as a practical nomadic companion for practicing, composing or playing outdoors without the fragility of a more sensitive instrument. This assessment is a logical deduction based on its size, construction and features.

A clear, lively sound with surprisingly strong projection for a travel ukulele

Here, the instrument's sonic character does not come from an assembly of traditional woods, but from an architecture specifically designed to maximize the efficiency of a synthetic material. Flight combines an ultra-thin top with lattice bracing, promoting a fast response, a crisp attack and a strong sense of projection for this type of instrument. The brand even presents this design as one of the most powerful in the world of plastic ukuleles.

The fluorocarbon strings also play a major role in the overall character: the tone gains clarity, precision and bite, with a bright register that suits the soprano spirit perfectly. The zero fret and integrated nut contribute to a consistent playing feel and accurate intonation, helping with both chords and small melodies played higher up the neck.

Ultimately, the result is a ukulele with a direct, dynamic and fairly punchy sound, less “woody” than a traditional model, but highly coherent for nomadic use. That is precisely what makes the Ultra Travel Ink so appealing: it offers a distinctive voice that is practical to play and usable almost anywhere, without requiring the usual precautions associated with a more traditional instrument.

Recommended compatible accessories

The most relevant accessory remains a set of fluorocarbon strings for soprano ukulele. This is the safest choice for preserving the instrument's original response. Important note: the brand recommends avoiding wound strings as well as strings containing metal particles, as they may damage the frets and the key of this model. Since the drawstring bag is already included, adding a lightweight gig bag is not essential as a first purchase.
