Flight Iris Concert Ukulele - Black
The Flight Iris Concert Ukulele in Black is a sophisticated, "boutique-style" instrument that breaks away from traditional ukulele design to offer a modern, minimalist masterpiece. Part of the acclaimed Iris series by Flight Ukuleles, this model features a sleek matte black finish on a solid spruce top, paired with mahogany back and sides. This combination delivers a crisp, articulate, and punchy tone with the added resonance that only a solid wood top can provide. Its offset soundhole and distinctive pickguard give it a contemporary, almost "indie-rock" aesthetic that appeals to players looking for a unique identity on stage.
Solid-top performance and vintage inspiration
While the look is modern, the soul of the Iris is rooted in high-quality acoustic engineering. The solid spruce top ensures that the sound will only get better and richer as the wood ages, while the mahogany body adds a touch of warmth and sustain. One of the most striking features of this instrument is the slotted headstock, a detail usually reserved for high-end classical guitars or premium Flight Ukuleles. This design provides a sharper string angle over the nut, which improves tension and enhances the overall clarity and projection of the concert-scale body.
Professional playability and bold accents
The Flight Iris is designed for the serious performer, featuring a wide 38mm nut that provides extra space for complex fingerstyle arrangements and chord transitions. The high-quality fingerboard and bridge are crafted for durability and smooth playability, while the Der Jung tuners offer precise and stable tuning. The black model is beautifully accented with a white pickguard and white binding, creating a high-contrast look that is both bold and elegant. This dedication to combining artisanal details with road-ready reliability is why the Iris has become a flagship for Flight Ukuleles.
