Flight Iris Concert Ukulele with Deluxe Gigbag PARTICULAR SIGNS  Concert Size   Solid spruce top  Mahogany back & sides  Okoume neck  Slotted headstock  Ivory color binding  Rosewood bridge & fingerboard  Bone nut & saddle  Tuners :  Der Jung    Nut width : 36mm  fluorocarbon Japanese strings   White acrylic pickguard  19 frets   Deluxe 15 mm gigbag included CASA OPINION A few seconds of tuning thanks to the ultra precise Der Jung mechanics, a melody pressed in major scale, some strummed chords in the bottom of the neck...it took us less than 3 minutes to be conquered by this instrument!  We knew that Flight proposed instruments with an incredible quality-price ratio, (still it is necessary to choose them well, but that is our job) but we notice that they improve day after day and that it is going to be difficult for the other manufacturers to remain in the race of the ukuleles entries and medium ranges.  First of all it has a devastating look in the Starsky and Hutch style which is sublime!  The solid spruce top tempered by the laminated mahogany back and sides creates a sound that is not only bright and punchy, but also rounded with warmth.  A flat profile neck, compensated saddle for accurate intonation, fluorocarbon strings and a deluxe bag. The Iris is at least as good as the famous premium model from which it was loosely based.

Production of Koaloha ukuleles began in 1995, handcrafted, one by one, in Honolulu, and although they have undergone improvements over time, they still sound with the same signature: a tone rich in harmony, warmth and luminosity.Perfectly balanced, these instruments are ideal for all types of music.

The build quality is obvious, and you know you're playing a top-quality ukulele. The overall impression is one of absolute classicism, with a magnificent 5-point crown-shaped headstock, and a sublime rosette delightfully named "Musubi" ( snack popular in Hawaii).
