The Flight Comet features a solid mango body with solid flamed maple top. Mango has a distinctive grain and appearance, and some players feel that it sounds similar to koa.  Mango has a warm, resonant, rich sound with great sustain. Paired with a solid flamed maple top –   You won’t believe how “sweet” this sounds!

The Comet features a rosewood bridge, as well as a real bone nut and a compensated saddle. Compensated saddles help to properly set the intonation of each string.  The Comet includes a pin bridge system, which helps keep the strings properly aligned on the ukulele, as well as to create a break angle over the saddle that transfers vibrations efficiently to the mango soundboard of the ukulele.

Why let everyone else hear how wonderful your ukulele sounds and not gain the benefit yourself? At Flight we realised that you can hear the full tone and volume of our ukes by introducing a sound hole at the top of the instrument. We also feel it contributes to the quality of the sound as a whole. Some people aren’t a fan of the appearance of a side sound hole which is why we have created an intricate design that gives you all the benefits of a normal sound hole whilst maintaining a solid appearance to the structure.

The Flight Comet shares the unique “modified” slotted headstock as some of the other ukuleles in our Royal Series.  The headstock looks amazing and will attract action on its own, while the design is strong and effective, making sure that the break angle at the nut results in the best possible tone of your ukulele.

If you live in an area with low humidity, the wood of any instrument can dry and warp, causing issues with playability, such as fret buzz and dead string sounds. This isn’t a design fault; it’s how wood behaves naturally. We love the instruments we make, and we want you to continue enjoying them. Our Flight Comet, as well as the Royal Series, comes with a Flight Ukulele Humidifier included.
