The concert size brings the best of both worlds into one instrument. The mahogany makes this uke sing like a soprano but the scale length and cutaway means you have the same scope of exploration as a tenor uke. Add into the mix, a pickup, you have a ukulele that you can play on your own or to a crowd.The Flight DUC380 CEQ Concert Ukulele is made from laminate mahogany. Mahogany is a hardwood which has been used to make quality musical instruments for centuries. It is known for its solid and punchy tone, with low overtone quality and good high-end response. It is highly resilient, and with that excellent resistance it is very stable and less likely to warp than many other species of wood.The neck and fingerboard are made from African okoume and walnut wood. It’s a great combination that guarantees a stable intonation across the fretboard. It’s gentle to your hands, and looks great as well.
