Victoria Concert Electro Ukulele (Active Pickup) : w/bag
This concert sized ukulele, named Victoria, is part of Flight’s Princess Series. There are several eye-catching features to this instrument; it has a slotted headstock, a special cutaway to allow high-fret playing and an ebony armrest for ease of play. It also features a solid Sitka Spruce top which allows more resonance creating a fuller sound ensuring that this unit sounds as good as it looks.
Other premium features include Japanese-made Fluorocarbon strings, bone nut and saddle and a high-quality gig bag included.
A heavenly combination
Sitka spruce and acacia
The Flight Victoria Concert Ukulele features the highest grade solid spruce top with laminate acacia back and sides. Spruce is the brightest of all tone woods, while acacia is known to be richer and warmer, so together they are a match made in heaven. The acacia mellows out the punchy brightness of the spruce top, providing the ukulele with a round, rich tone.
African mahogany neck & ebony fingerboard
African mahogany neck provides stability, warm tone and a smooth feeling while playing. The fingerboard of the Victoria is made out of ebony. Ebony is a dark and dense hardwood, sometimes considered the most valuable wood in the world, which is why it is associated with high-class, premium instruments, like our own Victoria ukulele.
Pitch perfect
Bone nut, bone compensated saddle
The Flight Victoria features a real bone nut and compensated saddle. Compensated saddles not only look cool, they also improve the playability by correctly setting intonation of each string to help produce the best tone and performance possible.
Real temptation
Stylish cutaway
A modern and slick scalloped cutaway makes it possible to reach as high as your heart desires, without influencing the tone as much as traditional cutaways do.
Everything for comfort
Slick Armrest
An ebony armrest was designed to provide a smooth surface for your playing arm to rest on, making this ukulele as comfy as a Victorian couch, but looking as modern as a Flight ukulele should be.
Tiny yet mighty.
Double C1U Active Pickup
Through mid-2020, Victoria models featured a passive Artec pickup. Some vendors still have these models in stock.
In mid-2020 Flight moved to using Double C1U active pickups on the Victoria. The controls for the active pickup are mounted underneath the sound hole, meaning that a cavity does not have to be created on the side of the ukulele for the pickup. Most importantly, they sound great! Ukuleles with the new active pickups include an “A” (for “Active”) as a part of their model number.
