Flight is pleased to announce the return of the WUS-3 soprano ukulele. The WUS-3 was first introduced as a Hawaiian-made ukulele. The factory moved back to Japan due to the challenges of the pandemic, and now are making these same wonderful ukuleles in Japan–which also has a rich tradition of quality ukuleles. The WUS-3 is made from high quality laminate mahogany. Don’t be fooled by the word “laminate” or the “plain” appearance of the WUS-3. With its traditional build and Japanese fluorocarbon strings, the sound of the WUS-3 is exceptional: warm, centered, and strong. In terms of playability, we have used a slightly wider nut (36mm) with a slimmer neck profile for these Flight ukuleles. In addition to the looks, sound, and playability, the laminate construction also makes the WUS-3 easier to care for than solid ukuleles. The combination of these features makes these ukuleles a joy to play and hear.
