Flight AUC-33 Stardust concert ukulele

At its core, the AUC-33 Mansion is a superb ukulele with a laminated spruce top and laminated mahogany back and sides, but it has a design twist: it features stunning artwork on the soundboard. No shortcuts were taken with the design of these instruments—they sound and play as well as they look.

Spruce top

Spruce is one of the most traditional woods used to make guitar tops. This is due to its stiffness and ideal strength-to-weight ratio. These characteristics give spruce a very dynamic sensitivity and a rich tone with many harmonic overtones.

Mahogany sides and back

Mahogany has long been a highly sought-after wood for the backs and sides of stringed instruments. Its warm, rounded bass tone provides a foundation for any musical style to reach the listener. The midrange is very strong and full-bodied, while the treble is delicate and very pleasant.

Open pore finish

An open-pore finish on a stringed instrument's sound box allows it to vibrate more freely. This gives the guitar a more resonant and responsive sound. It also keeps the stringed instrument's weight within limits, which in turn enhances playing pleasure.
