A smaller sized ukulele, in soprano size, with a laminate Australian hoop pine soundboard.

Introduced in 2002, the Flea shape is a departure from the classic ukulele form. Created by Dale Webb, the Flea features a unique composite construction of wood and injection molded thermoplastic.

This combination of wood soundboard and acoustically resonant thermoplastic body gives this instrument an edge over the traditional standard ukes. It has a rich and bright sound, is comfortable to hold and stand up on its end as well. Known for its easy play-ability with a full 14" soprano scale and generous string spacing - a favourite for seasoned players or a perfect first uke.

Its durable construction and meticulous setup is ideal for class or travel, weighing in at about 450g.

Fleas come standard with clip-lock bridge, adjustable NuBone saddle, polycarbonate fingerboard, and Grover 2B friction tuners.

Includes a padded flea gig bag in blue denim.
