Description

Flight Iris 8 Tenor 8-String Electro-Acoustic Ukulele

The Flight Iris 8 Tenor 8-String Electro-Acoustic Ukulele delivers a bold multi-string voice with four paired string courses tuned Gg CC EE AA. Its solid spruce top, laminate mahogany back and sides, and active pickup create a bright, full sound for stage, studio, and ensemble playing.

Designed for players searching for an 8-string tenor ukulele, a solid-top electro-acoustic ukulele, or a Flight tenor ukulele with pickup, the Iris 8 adds shimmer, volume, and character without changing the basic fretting feel of a standard ukulele. Each paired course plays like one wider string, making the transition approachable for experienced ukulele players.

Flight equips the Iris 8 with a rosewood bridge, rosewood fretboard, bone nut and saddle, fluorocarbon strings, open geared tuners, and a classic slotted headstock. The Double C1U active pickup places its controls underneath the sound hole, preserving the body while supporting amplified performance.
