Flight IRIS8T Iris 8 Tenor 8-String Ukulele Solid Spruce Top Laminate Mahogany Back and Sides Active Pickup Tenor Ukulele Australia

The Flight IRIS8T Iris 8 Tenor Ukulele is Flight’s first 8-string ukulele, designed to offer a unique and powerful sound unlike any traditional four-string ukulele. Tuned in four pairs Gg CC EE AA, this eight-string instrument delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with strong projection and character. Despite the extra strings, it plays comfortably, with each course of two strings feeling like a single larger string.

Featuring a painted solid spruce top with laminate mahogany back and sides, the Iris 8 combines visual elegance with tonal excellence. Its satin black finish, white acrylic rosette, ivory binding, and offset front position markers create a striking appearance. The instrument also includes a slotted headstock, rear-facing Der Jung tuners, 45mm bone nut, fluorocarbon strings, and rosewood bridge and fretboard.

Uniquely, the Iris 8 includes an active pickup, allowing you to plug in and amplify your distinctive sound for performances or recording. Deluxe 15mm padded gig bag, instructional booklet, and sticker pack are included, making this ukulele ready for the stage or studio.
