As a member of our Princess Series, the Maia features a solid mango top and laminate rosewood back and sides. It also includes a gloss black headstock, scalloped cutaway, and binding. You will love both the appearance and sound of the combination of mango and rosewood, and players will love the satin neck. While the Maia could be thought of as a small tenor guitar, it is designed for standard baritone tuning (DGBE), which is known as Chicago Tuning for a Tenor Guitar. With its steel strings and acoustic body, the Maia offers a sound that is different from any other ukulele in Flight’s catalogue: the sound is bright and dynamic. While the Maia is naturally a loud ukulele, it also includes an active Double C1U pickup if it needs to be amplified or recorder.
