    I started playing uke on a mahalo soprano uke that was about £25-ish that we had in house but I decided to pick up one day. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. It got me playing basic chords and starting to learn songs. A couple of months after that I saved up my birthday money and bought myself a flight Elise concert uke. I've now been playing for over a year now. To any beginners who want to learn, use any ukulele that is at least £25 pounds that should get you something playable. If possible get a budget of around 40/50 as that will get you a better product that will last longer. I don't use that first uke anymore but it still got me started on an amazing journey!

    • @isabelladgriff
      @isabelladgriff 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Honestly, this ukulele is very popular, but the Luna ukes aren’t very professional ukuleles. Their QC isn’t very good, and they aren’t listed on professional ukulele dealer sites. Also, they’re 90 dollars where I am.

    If you are ordering from Flight from the U.S. you have to order from Musicroom. The U.S. (at this time) can't order directly from Flight -- unless something recently changed-- sometimes that is a big bummer. Musicroom some times takes time to get your order because they ship from all over Europe. They also don't communicate a lot, but you will eventually get your "stuff" and they pack things well. Flight's travel ukes are great for a lower price. They don't sound a rich as a wood uke, but they project well and stay in tune fairly quickly. They are also durable and easy to travel with. Also, when you order from Musicroom, they use Euros so It is almost the same as U.S. dollars, if you bought in Pounds Sterling you would pay a lot more in U.S. dollars. They appear to be in England, so I was surprised that they were not charging cost with Pounds. Flight is a company started by a husband and wife, Flight's line of ukes are gradually expanding. Baz from Got A Ukulele seems to really like the quality of Flight. They (Flight) have expanded their line to solid wood ukes.

    I’m getting the flight ukulele you are playing in two weeks ...on amazon . Do you still like it as much as you said in this video? I have not ordered it yet, because it is amazon day on the 13 or 14 of October and my daughter said wait to see if it goes on sale...
    I have a small soprano right now, but it’s hard to play as I’m an adult and my fingers are not small.. how wide would you say the spaces between the strings are on the tenor flight in comparison to a soprano. Thanks for any information.

    I bought an octopus uke for my first one and that was about £20-25 and yes it wasn't the best quality, but it got me started. Once I actually had formed a proper interest I bought one that was about £75 and I've had it for about 3 years, best purchase I ever made, it sounds nicer than the one that my friend bought that was more expensive XD.

    • @rickysomborn
      @rickysomborn  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've never played Ashton ukuleles but I have actually played a Washburn uke. I really like the sound of the concert ukulele I played but I know some of them are pretty pricey. I highly recommend the flight ukulele which has amazing sound and the price is great as well.

    I'm getting a tenor Hricane uke with those same strings (Aquila). This would be my first uke. Would you recommend changing the strings or you reckon they're something I can get used to?

    • @rickysomborn

    My ukulele is around 10-15$ and to be honest it's far more better and actually more playable than the ukulele's you reviewed ranging from the 8$-25$
    Well. Other from the fact that i live in a third world country that has cities well known for their best luthiers, i'm pretty proud of my 12$ (estimate) ukulele. It's a caramel colored wood ukulele made of basswood body and spruce neck that's a soprano size. My uncle has a 50-70$ concert ukulele and my 12$ ukulele definitely competes with it. Pretty cool and has lots of freebies despite the already cheap price. (Yeah it literally includes a padded gig bag, tuner, two picks (thick and thin), a cheap strap and an extra set of ukulele strings from aquila.)

    What size do you normally or moat comfortably play? I find on soprano especially on B flat my fingers can barely all fit to play it. most of the time when im pushing straight down a part of one finger touches another string ...the margin or error is like 1mm ..if im 1mm off i touch another string..i m wondering if a bigger uke will give my fingers more space.
