Flight Maia 8 Steel String Baritone EQ-A
365,00 €
Double the strings, double the magic! Introducing the Flight Maia 8 Steel String Baritone EQ-A Ukulele — our second-ever 8-string ukulele, and a bold new take on one of our most distinctive instruments. Based on the beloved Maia, this version adds the lush, full-bodied shimmer of eight steel strings.
The Maia 8 features a solid mango top paired with laminate rosewood back and sides, along with a gloss black headstock, scalloped cutaway, and elegant binding. You’ll fall in love with both its striking looks and its dynamic tone, as the blend of mango and rosewood brings warmth and depth, while the steel strings deliver brilliant clarity and power.
Designed for eight string baritone tuning (DgGgBBEE, with a low-D, a high-G, and double course B and E.), the Maia 8 feels familiar yet fresh, offering the resonance of a small tenor guitar with the playability of a baritone ukulele. And when it’s time to amplify, the active Double C1U pickup is ready to shine on stage or in the studio.
Looking to explore a whole new dimension of ukulele sound? The Maia 8 is your invitation to experience something truly extraordinary.

Let Your Music Take
A classic gets a makeover
Rosewood paired with solid mango
We paired a solid mango top with laminate rosewood back and sides for a sound that is both deep, sweet and rich in the mid and lows and that provides clarity and projection on the high end.

Rosewood fretboard and bridge
Rich and resonant tone
Custom set of steel strings
Pitch perfect
Bone compensated saddle and pin bridge
The Maia 8 Baritone features a real bone nut and a compensated saddle. Compensated saddles help to properly set the intonation of each string. The pin bridge allows for quick and easy string changes.
Turning heads
Bold and striking headstock design
The Maia 8 Baritone features a gloss black headstock with the Flight logo, which matches the gloss black scallop and binding of the instrument. The resulting look is both bold and classy.
Small yet mighty
Double C1U active pickup
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. The Double C1U is easy to use, and sounds great! For tips on how to use the Double C1 pickup, visit the FAQ section on our website!
