First look; Flight Fireball Mango Tenor Ukulele

[@bernardinelermite1133]

Everything looks so tidy and harmonious on this uke ! I love the "musharabieh" side sound-hole and the stylish headstock shape. Not to mention the warmth of the mango wood, so well paired with all the black touches !... Awesome aesthetics.

Thank you! I was looking for an upgrade for my Flight DUC523 ceq and your video really helped me choose the right model 😀

[@KahimoandRachel]

really nice look ukulele, i ordered mine voyager solid spruce top. thank for the review Alex

[@customera7945]

After playing this, I'm sold on the comfort edge. It makes it an extra pleasure to play.

[@ronchave6354]

Nice one Alex, what a really nice looking and sounding Uke. The lotto would come in handy.

[@krazywally5685]

Beautiful instrument 👍😎

Was hard to hand this one over to the UPS driver to come to you!!

[@jonathansadler4911]

I’m glad you did Baz. Bought yesterday from SUS. And big thanks to Alex for buzzing me about!!

[@atannaful]

@@jonathansadler4911 hi. im waiting for mine to come, you have any opinion about the uke you whant to share? i will really appriciate, since some friend said to me that fligth ukulele are sometime unbalanced (speaking of the sound). thanks from Sardinia

[@jonathansadler4911]

@@atannaful there is a lot treble if that is what you mean. It will come with worth brown strings. I have aquila reds on it now which levelled it. You could calm it down more with anuenue blacks. Sounds great with low g.

[@atannaful]

@@jonathansadler4911 And so far you will said that is worth 570 euros? you will said that is an high quality instrument, that can compete with pono or similar? sorry if i bother you but this will be my first serious ukulele (ive been playing for 5 years know on 40 euros ukulele) ahahahahaha

[@lesleyriseam1282]

Very nice Alex lovely mellow sounding Mango . I looked at the pin bridge which i thought looked like bowling balls . I think that may say more about me than Flight . Maybe i was thinking about what to call the soung . Ballsy.?????

[@bempomaa489]

Sorry what does mean FLIGHT DIANA TE ELECTRO ACOUSTIC SOLID CEDAR TOP AND WALNUT TENOR UKULELE?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

There isn't anything to explain really; The brand is Flight The model is the Diana TE It is an electro acoustic Ukulele It has a solid cedar top and walnut back and sides its a Tenor Ukulele.

[@mkmichelle]

Why the shipping package is 5kg but the uke its only 783gr

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Because packing materials like cardboard, bubble wrap, gigbags or cases etc all add up... Our average international consignment weighs 3kg-4kg but Kamaka and AnueNue hard cases alone make a parcel weigh 5-6kg. Also, courier companies will penalise anybody that underweighs a parcel but the charge for a 5kg parcel is the same as a 3kg parcel. It saves money to overestimate a parcel weight.

[@ciscojulian5552]

Thanks for your videos, I bought the Flight Mustang in Calif Gyphon store and through your video I decided to buy this ukulele and you where spot on, what a beautiful instrument and sounds good too and price wise you can’t go wrong with a Flight uku. I will try different strings on this uku. I have many ukulele which I play and own and I like the look of the Acacia wood almost looks like koa. Thanks again and much Aloha

[@partyontheobjective]

Well, Koa *is* Acacia. Its just very specifically Hawaiian Acacia.

[@cinneticportugal2392]

I Cisco I order 5 Uke to decide, 1 to keep and I decide stay with 2 models, 1 Flight Fireball and a Pono Acacia Tenor Deluxe, have you trie or have a Acacia Pono?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Yes, we've been selling them for over 10 years. They are out of stock until November.

[@MrsDallimore08]

Wish the rosette was a red wood colour... rosewood, palisander, paduk for example

[@elvismemphisgs]

Very Nice

[@grahamjohnson2004]

Whats the price of the fireball? And does it come with a strap button and acoustic only?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Fireball is £499. We have a waiting list for the next delivery if you want to contact the shop to go on it. They do not make an acoustic only version but the end pin jack socket doubles up as a strap button.

[@MisterSparkles]

Is the laser-cut side sound hole meant to read like “808”? If so that’s very sneaky. If not then what a happy accident.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Interesting observation... I hadn't noticed.

[@DarranJHankey66]

Alex, could I ask, what hard case would you choose for this beauty??

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

TGI ABS case fits very well with the body shape. The Freestyle case is also very good but there is a bit more movement.

[@cinneticportugal2392]

Already test the Fireball, like the sound, design but not the color and shape Mango wood. Side by side, the sound I prefer the Pono Acacia Tenor Deluxe, have a cleaner sound, but Fireball apears have more sustain. Now I buy a Flight Phantom and go to decide the winner to stay with me. Pono disapoint me, the finish are very bad in this unit, will be came with Flight Phatom another Pono Acacia Deluxe to see if it is normal have lots of glue inside.

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

I'm new to playing the uke and am Considering converting mine to electric - any recommendations?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Don't bother with stick on bug piezos.

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore no i dont want a stick on one - i plan on installing a piezos and maybe equalizer, how much does it cost to have someone install- what do you recommend Thanks again

[@EagleUkes]

Lovely looking uke but not over keen on the sound.....but each to their own...:) Any chance of hearing it through an amp?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Sadly not. It was sold on arrival... One day il make an electro video but my experience trying in the past is that they are largely irrelevant as the amp is such a big factor in the sound. If I demo a £120 uke with a pickup through a £1000 amp it will sound better than a £1000 Ukulele through a £120 amp...

[@EagleUkes]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore ....maybe just use the same amp on all electro reviews to standardise the sound quality?....just a thought....

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

But then the issue is are we standardising for a customer with a £1000 budget for an amp or £120? Because the fallout from that is going to be that the. £160 MiSi doesn't sound any better than a £20 passive artec. That's why you don't see many people offering plugged in demos.

[@EagleUkes]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore ...maybe a quick blast through a cheap amp, a medium priced amp then high end amp?./..:)

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Haha, nice compromise but sadly the set up time for that becomes longer than the time I have to film the videos :)

[@robertmartos2444]

Ok Mr embassater I have the cash but I can't seem to get in touch with you?? 😎geno
