NUD: Flight Sophia Concert

[Jerryc41]

My latest is a Flight Sophia Concert. It has the built-in electronics to change the sound. "The amazing Flight Soundwave Pickup System adds acoustic or amplified effects, with or without plugging in." I doubt I'll be using that very much. It sounds fine on its own. It has a solid spruce top with laminate walnut back and sides. Like other Flights, it comes with a nice, padded gig bag.

Should be Worth Browns.

Congrats, Jerry! I have the Soundwave Diana…I love the sound of cedar top instruments. The Diana is one of my finest ukuleles in my collection as it sounds and plays so well. Don’t get me wrong…I have other stellar ukuleles including Koa models from KoAloha and Kanile’a, and a Blackbird Clara that I play almost more than anything (though I do play my Enya Nova U Concert quite a bit). The Diana will stay with me forever. It’s just a tremendous ukulele at any price point.

Flight’s new Nighthawk Concert is definitely on my radar as well, though that has a spruce top.

I have the Diana version. It's really, really fun to play.

They cost a bit more, but they're "Worth" it.

The NIghthawk isn't easy to find. The only one I could find was from Uke Republic. It's beautiful, though.

There's a serial number on the back of the headstock (picture above), if that's what you mean. I don't see a number inside.

I read an article that said Flight is based in Slovenia (I think). They're build in the East, and the construction is flawless.

Hi. How do you like the difference between this one the the Victoria tenor in soundwave?

 

[TheresaSC]

That is a really fine looking ukulele! Congratulations!

Sorry, I meant, I feel like the last time you mentioned a uke total for your collection it was in the 140s. I was curious how many you have now.
