American Engineering, Hawaiian Soul
The Fluke is not like other ukuleles: it's a masterpiece of engineering and design, conceived and built in Sheffield, Massachusetts, USA. It was created to solve the problems of traditional instruments, combining incredible durability with surprising sound quality. Its shape is iconic and functional, with a flat bottom that allows it to stand up on its own. The soundhole, finely laser-cut with a Hibiscus flower, is a tribute to the instrument's Hawaiian soul, while the "Ukeliptus" graphic gives the birch top a distinctive, exotic look.
Why Choose the Fluke Ukulele?
- Revolutionary Hybrid Construction: The secret to its sound is the synergy of materials. The Birch wood top provides a bright, clear, and resonant tone. The fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic body is acoustically designed to project sound powerfully, but is also incredibly resistant to impacts and climate changes.
- Perfect Intonation and Playability: The Fluke is famous for its comfort. The polycarbonate fretboard with molded frets and a zero fret ensures mathematically perfect intonation on every note and a low, comfortable action that never changes. No more buzzing frets due to humidity.
- Iconic and Functional Design: Beyond its unique look and the Ukeliptus graphic, the Fluke is an intelligent design object. Its flat bottom is not just a stylistic whim, but a practical feature that allows you to set it down safely anywhere.
- High-Quality Components: Innovation doesn't sacrifice component quality. It features Grover tuners, world leaders in precision and tuning stability, and Aquila strings for excellent sound right out of the box.
Who Do We Recommend It To?
This is the perfect instrument for:
- The professional or amateur musician interested in alternative materials and an innovative design that doesn't sacrifice sound.
