The Flight MUS2 is made from solid mahogany.  Mahogany is a hardwood which has been used to make quality musical instruments for centuries. Its colour can vary a fair amount, from a pale pinkish brown to a darker reddish brown, and it tends to darken with age. Solid mahogany packs a punch unmatched to any other instrument, which is why it is perfect for a soprano that is vintage-styled like the MUS2.

The nut may seem to be a small component, but it plays a critical role in the overall sound of an instrument.  The nut and saddle of this ukulele are made from bone (not from plastic), which results in better tone quality.
