Thanks for this. I bought an SB from World of Ukes almost a year ago on this recommendation and I completely love it. It is so tactile it just makes you want to play it. I agree about the tuners and might be looking into changing those sometime in the future, but they suffice. I've gigged with it and it's reliable and sturdy. Thanks again for this review it really helped me cut through some noise. Keep up the good work. All the best.
Great review Barry. I live a few hours away from the Magic Fluke Company. I take a ride up to their factory once a year. Dale and Phyllis are great people. Love the sound. I will have to play it in person when I head up to the Fluke Company in a few weeks. Thanks again for a great review.
Sitting in a car. Melting in the sun in Weston Super Mare waiting for the other half who wandered off and got lost and a notification for this video popped up; so thank you for saving me from boredom. lovely instrument and great review. Excited to be getting my Bonanza Oreo uke tomorrow. Baritone with MiSi pickups, in black walnut with Aspen stripe. walnut fretboard. mahogany neck. i had a little bird logo put on the headstock and musical note fret markers. So excited i won't sleep. thanking you for introducing me to them. 🤗
That is a very interesting instrument. It looks like it would be so nice to play. I love the simplicity of it. I agree with you on the side dot issue COMPLETELY. In fact, that's my only gripe with Flukes. I think they are a tad overpriced. Although, with the MiSi, I think the price of this model is spot on. Thanks for another great review!
I’m a amateur player and I work shifts and often would love to do quiet practice at odd hours. This is a wonderful option which I could save up for or I could get a Risa now. Which is best for me seeing as I’m a beginner? I already have a Yamaha THR10.
GotAUkulele thank you. can you advise me please on a quality instrument that enables me to practice with and without amp. I work shifts and I am a beginner/novice that is able to practice quietly on occasion (shift worker/parent) and plug in and play other times .
Although great honest review and very much appreciate (proof of honesty) calling out the ridiculous up charge on side dots (especially in the price range of thus uke). Those kinds of moves turn me away from manufacturers and reek of bad automotive manufacturing trim levels
I’m now being asked in the school I work in to do a couple of songs in there yearly concert, now I’m undecided to go for the electric fluke or get a pickup fitted in my Moonbird, I would like your thoughts on this
hi great review looks like a winner ,could you tell me could you use headphones plugged directly into the line out jack or is there little drive from the pickup to drive the headphones using 16 or 32 ohms headphones Cheers Derek
Great review!! If it's possible, please do a review of a Flight ukulele from their "high end" models, like the Voyager or the Mustang. They seem to be really beautifull ukes for a good price
@@GotAUkulele Oh, of course. I didn't realise it was a loan. I know you used to buy some of them. I can only imagine how hard it would be not to have a collection of hundreds of ukuleles, in your position. I'd be so tempted to buy every loaner I loved.

Great to hear!

My pleasure Bob
Cool electric! Not a fan of electric ukes, but this in an exception. Sounds brilliant!
Another great review
Agreed on the side dots and tuner pegs
It should be included at that price
Nice uke
Thanks again
Great review Barry! Might consider an electric after seeing this one :) Looks superb!
I love the idea of an electric ukulele. I was considering the Enya feather but I think I might like this better ! Thank you for the review !
You are so welcome!

@@GotAUkulele wish I could send you a pic when I get it
Email address on website!

Karen Anne this and the Risa are completely different things though.

I think the Risa stick solid
GotAUkulele thank you
Another great review! I’m with you on the side dots. At that price point, they should be standard.
Totally. A complete piss take with customers
Although great honest review and very much appreciate (proof of honesty) calling out the ridiculous up charge on side dots (especially in the price range of thus uke). Those kinds of moves turn me away from manufacturers and reek of bad automotive manufacturing trim levels
Jonathan Carpenter agreed. Just add $15 to the total price and add them anyway
Great review! I have a Kala soprano ukulele and wanted to switch to a concert sized. Which ukulele would you recommend?
I’m now being asked in the school I work in to do a couple of songs in there yearly concert, now I’m undecided to go for the electric fluke or get a pickup fitted in my Moonbird, I would like your thoughts on this
completely different things and unfair to compare - this electric fluke cannot be played acoustic
I really like your channel and you very honest opinion of all the reviews.
Glad you like them!
Great review! May I ask which amp do you use?
Nicolas Guilbert lots. This was in a Yamaha THR 10, but I also use a Marshall AS50 and a Roland AC33
Nice review Barry. Dodging between you and the England innings.. Thanks for calming me down!
Ha ha - I was worried about the timing. I recorded this before they started and then it seemed to take to the lunch break for it to upload!
Nice review as always. What are you using as an amplifier?
In the video - a Yamaha THR10
well, that sounds brilliant!
hi great review looks like a winner ,could you tell me could you use headphones plugged directly into the line out jack or is there little drive from the pickup to drive the headphones using 16 or 32 ohms headphones
Cheers Derek
No - even though it's active, it's not hot enough for headphones. You would need a headphone amplifier in the loop
@@GotAUkulele Cheers Barry .most get ready for work times knocking on .
Any chance you'll review their Timber Bass?
Possibly!
Totally with you on the dots
Reuben Smart I know right?
It also suggests they don't know how to really play a ukulele. The side dots are more important than the fret markers... Sheesh!
Love it!
Great review!! If it's possible, please do a review of a Flight ukulele from their "high end" models, like the Voyager or the Mustang. They seem to be really beautifull ukes for a good price
Watch this space!
If anything Fluke should charge to not include side dots :P
I’d agree!
It comes with a MiSi pickup? Wow, t hat's a great deal then!
Yep!
No side dots?? What the heck is that?
I know. It’s really odd that Fluke don’t provide them
That's quite a nice ukulele.
Yeah, rather cool!
All The Lefties: "Side dots?"
Fair point!
Extra for side markers? Foul I cry! appalling ... sheesh 😲
Daft choice
Hope you get to keep this one. It's pretty sweet.
Lyndsey MacPherson I don’t keep any loan instruments. And not should I. I couldn’t fairly review them if I did.
@@GotAUkulele Oh, of course. I didn't realise it was a loan. I know you used to buy some of them.
I can only imagine how hard it would be not to have a collection of hundreds of ukuleles, in your position. I'd be so tempted to buy every loaner I loved.
Great review. No side dots is a deal breaker for me. Otherwise it's an awesome instrument.
WE DO NOT CARE ==========YOU ARE A BLABBER
BORING TO THE POINT OF TEAR MY HAIR OUT
Have a WONDERFUL day! Your feedback helps so much! Don’t tear your hair though, I’m sure that’s bad for your scalp..
p.s. - you have your Caps Lock on...
beesolom, great too that you liked your own comment.
Not for me. Horrible.
CocoBunjee I get that views are subjective, but ‘horrible’ isn’t a term that ever sprang to mind with this.
