Flight UTS-42 FAT CAT Ultra Travel Series Soprano Ukulele with Bag
The Flight UTS-42 FAT CAT Ultra Travel Series Soprano Ukulele with Bag is exactly what happens when serious design meets a sense of humour. It’s tough, lightweight, and built to go anywhere — but with a personality that makes you want to pick it up every time you walk past it.
This is part of Flight’s Ultra Travel Series, and it’s a step beyond your typical travel uke. The entire instrument — top, back, sides, neck, fretboard and bridge — is made from reinforced polycarbonate plastic, which makes it incredibly durable. Changes in temperature, humidity, the odd knock on the road — it handles it all without flinching. It’s the kind of uke you can actually live with, not tiptoe around.
Despite the rugged build, it still delivers a proper ukulele sound. The thin soundboard with lattice bracing helps it stay responsive and lively, while the rounded back adds a bit of projection and resonance. Paired with Flight fluorocarbon strings, you get that bright, snappy soprano tone with a nice bit of clarity.
It’s a soprano with a 12-fret neck and 350 mm scale length, so it feels compact and easy to play — perfect for beginners or anyone who wants something ultra-portable. The addition of a zero fret helps with consistent tone and intonation, and the slightly wider 37.3 mm nut width gives you a bit more room for comfortable fretting.
Nice touches are everywhere. You’ve got front and side position markers for easy navigation, a slotted bridge for quick string changes, open geared tuners for stable tuning, and even a strap button ready to go.
And then there’s the look — the FAT CAT design. Bright, bold, and impossible to ignore. It’s playful in all the right ways and fits the whole spirit of the instrument perfectly.
It also comes with a drawstring gig bag, so you can throw it over your shoulder and head off without a second thought.
At Musicmaker, these Ultra Travel models are perfect for players across Ireland who want something durable, different, and genuinely fun to own. It’s a proper “leave it out, pick it up, play it anytime” kind of instrument.
If you’re after a travel ukulele in Ireland that’s practically indestructible, easy to play and full of character, the Flight UTS-42 Fat Cat is a great shout.
