Awesome review 🤍. I bought this one already last week and i love it!

[@AnarchyInTheUkuleleTV]

It's so good!

[@judih.8754]

Another fine review Paul. That is a beautiful instrument and the sound is wonderful.

[@AnarchyInTheUkuleleTV]

It really is!

[@paul_mitchener_ukulele]

Thanks - looks and sounds like a great instrument - and I’ve been pondering a steel strung baritone since I came across the blues player Manitoba Hal (I believe his was custom made) so it’s nice to see something more generally available. One thing I like here is the use of mango - such a ukulele wood choice, which really distinguishes it from a guitar. On a completely different note, I absolutely love the T-shirt Paul. And best wishes to KD.

[@PaulMansellukulele]

cheers buddy. I had the pleasure of sharing the bill with Manitoba Hal years ago at Upton Uke festival and he was great - yes I think his is custom made. Cheers buddy

[@FourInchCats]

Thanks Paul, another great video! I’d love to try one to compare with my Pono steel string baritone 🥰🎼

[@PaulMansellukulele]

yeah I would be interested to know what that is like. hope you are well.

[@andivelorezwhite]

I snagged one of these as quickly as I could. I am thrilled.

[@PaulMansellukulele]

yeah I reckon they will sell out pretty quick

[@brendabsings]

Can’t WAIT!!

[@JonHancockUK]

I can see people who take one of those to their local uke group being subjected to the same withering looks normally reserved for resonators and banjoleles 😁

[@PaulMansellukulele]

I've seen that look and it can break a human !

[@ProbablyTheBestUkuleleDadEver]

And what is wrong with banjoleles, exactly?

[@PaulMansellukulele]

Absolutely nothing. I play one and love it !

[@Tres21]

Hello awesome How do I buy one of these from the us?

[@PaulMansellukulele]

honestly I am not sure but if you mail flight direct they are very helpful.

[@music-for-ukulele]

Hello Paul, very nice review! And yes - the pins are annoying and tend to pop out. The steel strings sound very warm and sweet. Wish I could test my own compositions on them.

[@PaulMansellukulele]

yeah the trouble is once they pop out you cant help but worry about it happening again.

[@advanbever4245]

@@PaulMansellukulelespot on! I recently tried a used fireball soprano. Pins popped out several times and I play it like it can explode any second

[@advanbever4245]

@@PaulMansellukulelethat is my only problem with it. I would like to buy one but the pins will worry me. Sammy Turton uses beads and says the problem is solved

[@PaulMansellukulele]

@@advanbever4245 yes I do the same now and it does seem to resolve the matter. To be honest it is only when I change the strings that there is a problem - once they have settled down they are fine.

[@dh2602]

Awesome! I love Flight Ukes. But do they have plans to do anything about the strap/endpin jacks that wont stay put. What a “pain in the butt” to have to keep dealing with.

[@PaulMansellukulele]

I must say this is the only thing I don't like about them. Currently I don't think they have plans to change the endpin jacks. I have found putting a ball end on the string tends to sort it out if that is of any help.....

[@dh2602]

@@PaulMansellukulele I'm referring to the input jack that also serves as the strap button. It is a pain in the butt to keep tightened. Guess I shouldn't have referred to end pin cause it's the strap button/input jack

[@PaulMansellukulele]

@@dh2602 ah ok I get what you mean. I must admit mine has been fine and never come lose but I will keep an eye out for it

[@AnarchyInTheUkuleleTV]

I don't think it's particular with Flight, as we've owned guitars and acoustic basses with the same problem - but completely agree that they're a pain in the backside to tighten!
