Flight Iris Tinta Tenor Ukulele – Transparent Black (TBK)
Flight Iris Tinta Tenor Ukulele – Transparent Black (TBK)
The Flight Iris Tinta Tenor Ukulele stands out with its striking transparent black gloss finish that beautifully showcases the natural grain of the all-solid mahogany body. This tenor model builds on Flight’s popular Princess series with a bold, modern aesthetic while delivering the warm, rich tone mahogany is known for.
All-solid mahogany produces a balanced, resonant sound with strong midrange warmth, good sustain, and enough clarity for both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The tenor size adds deeper tone and more volume compared to smaller ukuleles, making it versatile for players who want fuller sound without moving up to a baritone.
Why this ukulele?
It offers an excellent balance of looks, tone, and playability at this price point. The transparent black finish gives it a sleek, contemporary appearance that turns heads while still feeling classic. Thoughtful details like the bone nut, compensated saddle, and slotted headstock improve intonation and response. It also comes with one of Flight’s better padded gig bags, making it ready for gigs, jam sessions, or travel.

- Intermediate to advancing players looking for their first all-solid wood ukulele
