TUSL Long Neck Soprano Travel Ukulele - Kidz : Colour Strings - includes spare strings and booklet
The ukulele is becoming a popular instrument–for good reason–in schools throughout the world. Schools are a challenging environment for any instrument, and quite frankly, most ukuleles are not up to the challenge. The Flight Travel Ukulele is the ideal ukulele for use in the school environment as they are tough, can be cleaned, and are not susceptible to sharp fret ends or changes in humidity. Most importantly, they play great and sound great.
While anyone can purchase a Flight KIDZ Ukulele, the instrument was outfitted for use in school settings. The strings used on the ukulele are Aquila Kids Strings which were developed to help teachers teach and students learn the ukulele. There are a number of resources, many free, which utilize the color system of these strings.
On top of it all, the KIDZ ukulele includes an extra set of Aquila Kids Strings which will help schools dealing with tough budgets, and a specially designed start-up booklet. We beieve this is the best ukulele that a school can buy, and it is a great value for other players, too!
Ideal for educational settings, or any setting, the Flight KIDZ Ukulele has an arched ABS back, providing the ukulele with more sound than is typical for a soprano ukulele. The ukulele is durable and tough, cleanable, and resistant to humidity changes. It is stands up in educational settings in ways that wooden ukuleles can never hope to achieve.
The TUSL-KIDZ uses laminate linden wood for the sound board. Linden is characterized by a bright sound and sleek texture. It also absorbs color in a very interesting way that creates very cool patterns. We also use a special technique to apply the color, creating even more pattern variation. This means that no two models of the TUSL35 look exactly the same, making your ukulele unique.
The soundboard and head plate can be customized for educational institutions for orders over 100 ukuleles; contact your local dealer for more information.
Let's play.
ABS Neck & Fingerboard
The neck and fingerboard of this ukulele are made from ABS plastic. It is a perfect solution for education, as it is not subject to climate in a school building. The Flight KIDZ Ukulele will never suffer from fret sprout. The surface of the neck imitates a wood pattern, to avoid a feeling of cheap plastic.
Pitch perfect quality.
Zero fret & ABS Saddle
The TUS-KIDZ Concert Scale Soprano Travel Ukulele is a delight to play with low action. This is due to a zero fret and compensated bridge, which also improves the intonation of the ukulele.

Black strap button
A concert neck soprano ukulele was the ideal choice for schools: a body that any student could hold, with a concert neck offering a little more room to players of any age.
Should the rounded back of the ukulele ever slip on a player, the ukulele has a strap button to allow for a strap.
It all starts with the head.
Good-looking and easy to tune.
Headstock design is an integral part of our identity. The headstock veneer is made of linden and matches the color of the top. All Flight ukuleles feature a carefully-designed headstock fitted with geared tuners that will always stay in tune.
If you haven’t noticed the colored strings, they are Aquila Kids Strings, specially designed to help students learn and teachers teach. The strings are colored versions of the industry standard Aquila Super Nylgut strings. In addition, every KIDZ ukulele includes an extra set of Kids Strings to help schools sustain their programs and to stretch their budgets.
