thanks for the brilliant comparison, both are the best for the money. for me fit the MoonBird better.
ThankQ
I really enjoy your videos. They’re nicely done-except for the sound. It sounds a little like you’re in a basement or tunnel.
@@fbales Thanks
I had the hardest time choosing between the moonbird vs cedarbird, and ended up with the cedar. After hearing this comparison I would’ve been happy with either! They both sound lovely. Thanks for the video.
A customer was struggling with the same decision. I made the video with one eye on helping that decision and she went for cedar too. (Even though I said moon for me!)
Try low G on cedar bird. You will be pleasantly surprised.
It’s funny how cedar is often referred to as the warmer top wood when compared to cedar on the prominent ukulele sites/TH-cam. I’ve always felt that cedar has greater clarity, better articulation than spruce. Spruce is said to be able to give greater volume. I suppose that’s why most classical guitars are cedar topped and flamenco guitars have spruce tops. If you do more gentle finger picking the Cedar bird has the edge on clarity to my ears. If you do more strumming, I think the Moon bird has a more rounded tone. A very interesting video because there’s only one variable/difference between the two ukes. That’s why it’s such a good comparison.
I always like cedar tops, so naturally I would assume I would prefer the cedar here. But there's just something about the unexpected bass response of the Moon Bird that gets me. But I would normally say, 'cedar is like spruce with the edges rounded off', which probably makes no sense! With these I feel like the Moon Bird's balance is achieved by strong treble and strong bass tones. The Cedar Bird is more even across the strings, without those extremes. Which perhaps suits picking better. I made this video in part as a customer couldn't decide between the two. Interestingly, they went for the cedar one.
Definitely Team Cedar! Has a slightly more folksy sound to my ear. Great idea to play them one after another in diff genres to compare. Thanks.
Hard to choose as they both sound so beautiful .. 🤩 I’m more a tenor ukulele person but if I was to choose it would be the Moon Bird.. I do like the more warm and mellow sounds 😁😊🦋
I traded my Moonbird in for the Cedarbird. Love the Cedarbird so much more and I didn't expect to. In person the Cedarbird is much warmer to my ears.
I think the Moonbird has the edge - though both are excellent. Maybe next visit I’ll try both!
Although the Cedar sounds pretty good, my preference is for the Moonbird. However, like @Johns4952, I too have the Tenor Moonbird. I also have a somewhat emotional connection with it as I bought it from you Matt, a few years ago during lockdown and you managed to get a couple, which seemed to have an almost mythical status at the time 😁 Love your videos Matt, thanks for making them.
@shellyscott8275 Ah yes, I had to bribe corrupt customs officials to smuggle them in in those days 😉
Nice comparison, thanks Matt. I preferred the cedar, it sounded more open to me. You didn't finish telling us about the Thai moped! 🤡
@MustDote I couldn't as I ran the risk of accidentally doing exactly what I was trying to parody, going on to long! (It broke down and we got a lift to town in a trailer full of straw).
@@WorldofUkes excellent. How about a song about it one day? Thai green curry Moped go no more We were in a hurry But ended up in straw ...
Both are excellent Matt but, I slightly favour the Moonbird.
Both sound great but I give the Moon Bird the gold medal today. 😊
Both luvly sounding and looking Ukes, my preference would be the moon bird but maybe I'm biased as I have the tenor model which I love. Keep the videos coming Matt great stuff 👍😁 John
What a shock, I expected the cedar ro be warmer, but it's a lot brighter!!!
@judynpeterjones3307 yes that moon bird has always had that depth, never been sure where it comes from!
My thoughts exactly judynpeterjones! Both ukes delightful though.
@@KeithChesterton I bought a Black Whale tenor ftom Matt earlier this year, it's a wonderful instrument and the pick up is superb!
Really like the cedar. 🎉
Aquila all the way, although I prefer the Aquila reds for the baritone. Much better sounding in the bass, imho. The fluorcarbon strings had a bit more clarity but it sounded like a tenor uke.
Today I ordered a Tenor Ukulele!
Me likey!!!
can it does the dropped tuning things such as dropped B, dropped G# ? or standard C, standard A tuning ?
Love the sound of this uke! Up to mid-2020, the Flight Voyager was made with the the passive piezo pickup. They changed mid-year to an active pickup with controls placed underneath the sound hole (internal vs external placement) so no holes needed on the shoulder of the instrument for the controls. The model number changed to EQ-A (A is for active pickup.) You may still find the passive piezo pickup in older stock in store/dealer inventories or in a used uke so be sure to ask for the pickup of your choice before you buy.
I bought a Baton Rouge 8 string with a pick up after seeing the demo, I also gt the Ukulele magazine for a club I play with. Thanks Matt.....I'm getting a Uma Acacia 30st and look forward to playing it. Keep on keeping Matt.
@mikesmith6493 Fab, thanks Mike 😊
Oh wow I just bought a used one. Can't wait to get it now. All my guitars can go!
What type of strings are they? Fluorocarbon, nylgut, etc
I agree that not one string type is necessarily 'better'; they are just different. There are different uses for the variety of available strings. The Flight Voyager EQ-A is a good value for a tenor uke with its updated features and you'd have to work hard to make it not sound good : ). Note the A in the model EQ-A stands for active pickup. The internal active pickup (with controls under the sound hole) was a new feature starting mid-2020 so you may still find the passive piezo pickup in older stock in store/dealer inventories. Be sure to ask before you purchase so you buy the model with the pickup style you prefer.
Hi there, I just got this ukulele for myself, thank you so much for giving me the desire to try it and the inspiration to play it ! Love how this sounds
Anuenue the first ❤
I think what this proved over anything is that you can make anything sing and sound good if you can play a bit.
Obvious what any sensible person would do.. buy both for what kind of a mood you are in :) Satin more mellow, gloss zingier and both very good in their own right.
@@AlbertsDad I just wish there were more sensible people around ;)
Thank you so much for this excellent video but what a pain in the ass. I will never buy another instrument again that has the end jack and the strap pin as one.
The problem is, the ones with a jack input off to one side - they're weaker and prone to splitting if you, say, stand on a jack lead. No perfect solutions sadly.
I thought the K would be bright koa. I liked that sound best, but thought it was mango Uma!
Thank you Matt, that was excellent. 👏
I’m confused. How can you play the same chords with totally different tunings?
It isn't a different tuning, it is still GCEA. It's just that each note is an octave lower than usual. So your G will still be a G, just a deeper, lower G than normal. So if you played a C chord using these, and someone with a regular uke played their C chord, they'd still chime together, just yours would be like a bigger, deeper, lower version.
@@WorldofUkes thank you for answering me, but my baritone ukulele is D G B E though. That’s what is confusing me. I thought all baritone ukuleles were.
@christineminer2397 I see. Then yes, with yours the chords would be different. These would be even lower than yours, but would need you to work out the new chord names.
You is human after all! LOL
Millar ukes I’ve noticed have like a harp like ethereal tone to them that just draws me in.
To err is to be human, but obviously it was Alex's fault here! Lovely sounding Uke' as well!
The experience of having one in one's own hands, the haptic touch and feel, the details of the form, the ease of playability, the whole multisensory experience ... seems to me more important than the sound alone. The sound: When I play in my bedroom or in the kitchen or the livingroom or the balkony or sitting under a tree ... these circumstances influence the sound much more than what I can detect as differences in your sound samples. The instrument as a whole is "my pride and joy". Becoming a better player, depends on having an instrument which I love to grab and play on. As I get better, the saying "the sound is in the fingers" will show its truth. I love to go to specialized instrument shops just to adore the beauty and perfections of those instruments on display. (Even instruments which I do not play and do not intend to learn.) Many I cannot afford. And the ones which I can afford and are suitable for my developping level of playing: I already have what I need. Some day I will fall in love with a new instrument. I will know it, if I have it in my hands and can admire it with all my senses close-up: it will feel (and sound) irresistible!
Love the video!
Oh my goodness! Those out takes had me in stitches!!!🤣😂🤣👍
Really wonderful uke! Also, thanks for sharing your outtakes. I thought I was the only one messed up with the camera on!
They were the 'entertaining' outtakes - there were plenty more, simply bad ones!
You appeared to enjoy that and really settle into it Matt. Lovely to hear the strings ringing out. Thanks for bringing another uke to the UK! I'm still enjoying my ACE.
Who knows the first song he played
@@ricky_x76 th-cam.com/video/r7SmWLPBlgI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TDWL-xqgsij9MF3i There you go
@@WorldofUkes oh thx
Loving these cross over videos between my 2 favorite Ukulele vendors, keep up the good work chaps
Ukulele sounds great. Love the video, outtakes and all, including the mask!
I appreciate your reviews of all these instruments. That being said, I would have liked you to explore the higher end of the fretboard… after all, that is, I assume, why one would be looking at a cutaway instrument. Thanks.
What's this 'frozen north', Matt? You're in the south! ;-)
PS Like the playing outtakes at the end... this is me all the time except that I hide them!
So, clearly, a person need both; one to string gcea, and one in dgbe!
Lovely uke Matt, almost like the one I bought from you. Love the outtakes 🙂
It doesn't sound like a budget friendly uke at all. It could pass for a much more expensive instrument based on the quality of how it sounds
