B-STOCK Flight Songbird Solid Maple/Mango Slimline Electro Concert Ukulele w/Gigbag #3879

Please note that this is a B-STOCK item with some cosmetic flaws, namely a couple of marks on the top. It is brand new, we just can't justify putting it up at 100% of the ticket price.

The Flight Songbird is the next step in the evolutionary line of Flight's iconic and highly regarded Fireball and Comet line-up. This is a rare breed of ukulele with a solid flamed maple top and solid mango back and sides. This wood combination whilst unusual produces an incredibly sweet sound that rewards gentle players with huge sustain and clean, textured single notes.

The massive popularity of the original Flight Songbird has clearly sparked some inspiration in the Flight camp, with a smashing new concert version of our top ukulele for 2025.

Certainly the first Flight concert ukulele to feature a slimline body, and besides an early Kala model that springs to mind I think it may be the only slimline concert on the market of its style. There is definitely a trend in the ukulele world right now for form fitting; reduced depth ukuleles. Flight are beginning to dominate the ukulele world with a range of ukuleles that offer a similar feel to the popular Kala night owl Revelator ukuleles, whilst having a much sweeter and more introspective tone.

The Flight songbird concert has a functional side sound port and comes with an active Double C1U pickup; with a battery driven volume and tone control and end pin socket. Have I mentioned the fingerboard inlay of a songbird yet? Well, it's cool... check out the photos.
