Made to Measure

With a Liberty Flight ukulele, you select the materials and features to suit your requirements. The result is an heirloom instrument that reflects you and is an ideal tool for your musical expression.

Ukulele Sizes

Liberty Flight produces ukuleles in three sizes: Soprano, Concert & Tenor.

Soprano

Soprano ukuleles are the smallest and have the shortest musical scale and smallest gap between frets. Accordingly, soprano ukuleles are popular for players with small hands. The sound produced by soprano ukuleles tends to be "brighter" but less volume than the larger sizes.

Concert

Concert ukuleles the mid-size, larger than the soprano, but not as large as the tenor. Typically concert ukuleles have a fuller sound than the soprano, but maintain the distinctive "ukulele" sound.

Tenor

Tenor ukuleles are the largest of the Liberty Flight range offering greater spacing between frets, a deeper sound and more volume than the smaller sizes.

Hardware

Liberty Flight uses only the best hardware, including:

Gotoh UPT Tuners

Liberty Flight ukuleles are fitted with "Gotoh" ukulele planetary tuners (UPT). Gotoh UPTs are high quality tuners designed to have the visual appeal of traditional friction tuners, but employing technology to ensure perfect pitch is maintained. With a gearing ratio of 4:1, fine tuning is made easy. The small form factor results in a light weight solution with proportions that are visually appealing for any ukulele.

LR Baggs Pickup

The LR Baggs "FIVE.O" pickup is arguably the best ukulele pickup on the market. It is engineered specifically for the ukulele, in both form factor and voicing. It includes: a soundhole mounted volume control; miniature endpin preamp; and 3V battery delivering 300+ hours of operation.

Tonewoods

Australian tonewoods offer exceptional tonal qualities and beautiful aesthetics. Examples include:

Australian Blackwood

Balanced tone, warm, mellow.

Bunya Pine

Fine grain, hard wearing, strong mid-range.

Huon Pine

Fine grain, relatively soft, relatively heavy.

Western Red Cedar

Warm, good harmonics and tonal characteristics.

Celery Top Pine

Pale colour, fine grain, good resonance.

King Billy Pine

Close grain, strong mid-range.

Features/Options

Common features of a bespoke Liberty Flight ukulele include:

Side-Wall Soundhole

Side-wall soundholes are becoming popular with members of ukulele groups/clubs where it is often difficult to hear your own instrument in a crowd. The side-wall soundhole directs sound to the player to mitigate this issue.

Inlays

The butterfly logo, rosette highlights and fret board markers are mother of pearl, inlaid by using a painstaking process of etching out cavities by hand.

Rosette

Liberty Flight rosettes are typically constructed using a combination of a complementary tonewood with mother of pearl inlay. Rosettes may be designed using an offset to give a sense of perspective and individualise the instrument.

Fret Board

"Wood type" and "wood type" are the most common timbers used by Liberty Flight for fret boards. The frets are placed to deliver exact tones and harmonics. All edges are shaped with care to ensure a pleasurable tactile experience.

Binding

The edges of Liberty Flight ukuleles are bound using complementary tonewoods to strengthen and accentuate the shape of the instrument.

Finish

The finish recommended by Liberty Flight is a matt oil, highlighting the grain of the tonewood.

Case

Liberty Flight ukuleles come with a rigid road case, offering the highest level of protection available, to ensure your ukulele is safe and sound.
