Flight Fireball All Solid Mango Tenor Electro Ukulele

£499.00

This is the Flight Fireball tenor electro, a well made all solid mango ukulele packed full of well-thought out features, with a nice, sweet tone and lots more going for it besides.

What impresses me most about this ukulele is how it shows the brand as one that listens to what people are asking for. It has a wider nut, at 38mm - which while it is wider than I’d like - is something that increasingly players ask for, for that extra room. Again, not an issue for me, but some players struggle with their hand sticking to a gloss neck. Here, while the body is gloss, the neck has a satin finish. And just to use mango at all, which is overlooked often, but produces an expressive, dynamic tone, is a good point. Add to that they’ve used Worth Browns, rather than just stick with one string type for the whole range, and it says that Flight really think about their ukes.

The Fireball has a really interesting, lightweight headstock which is not at all traditional, but adds plenty of excitement. The dark soundhole decoration and stained maple binding and scooped cutaway are nice touches too, as is the practicality of the comfort edge. A side soundport, with an intricate design gives you a little more of the uke’s sound to you as a player, and the Double brand active pickup is an effective and great sounding bit of kit if you want to amplify it too.

I often worry that me describing the sound of mango as sweet is a trick of my mind, associating sweetness of sound with the taste of the fruit. But, this ukulele has really convinced me that it’s not a misplaced word association, it’s an accurate description of a tone that also has a great chiming quality and plenty of projection.

The Flight Fireball is supplied with a good quality padded gig bag.
