Elise Ecklund Signature Travel Soprano Ukulele. Elise Ecklund is an American YouTuber who uploads music related video content of popular songs on her ukulele. Thanks to a wider arched ABS back, this ukulele has more volume in middle range than your average soprano ukulele while also resonating better and sounding brighter. It is durable and resistant to humidity changes, which are the main enemies of wooden ukuleles. This bright and funky ukulele uses laminated linden wood for the sound board. Linden wood is characterized by a bright sound and sleek texture. It also allows the ability to print this colorful mountain sunset design on the sound board without compromising the sound quality of the instrument. The neck and fingerboard are made from ABS plastic. It is a perfect solution for an entry class ukulele. You will never get a sharp fret or bent neck with this travel ukulele. The neck surface imitates the wood pattern to avoid a feeling of cheap plastic. Zero fret paired with unique bridge construction keeps the string action low and intonation on point. Since the plastic is never going to move, you will never have to deal with any additional work on the saddle. The included strap prevents the uke from sliding against on your chest. This uke is strung with Aquila Sugar strings which are a recent invention from a material that derives from sugar. The strings present the best of both worlds, between the sweetness and tone of nylon strings and the brightness and power of fluorocarbon, giving the instrument an awesome sustain. The headstock design is an integral part of Flight's identity. The headstock veneer is made of linden wood to match the top and features Elise Ecklund’s signature, along with the colorful gradient of the sunset, to tie the design together. Includes a start-up booklet that will help you on the road to future ukulele fame! It is packed with all the necessary information needed for a quick start, including chord charts, strumming patterns, and tabs for an original song by Elise Ecklund!
