Flight TUS35 Travel Ukulele Review! Mini travel blog and Bieber for Sheriff?

[@OneMusicSchool]

CORRECTION! The graphic for the Grace VanderWaal Signature ukulele was cut off. It has a glossy finish to look like walnut, but it is laminate sapele.

[@erinevans1032]

This video was very helpful! I'm looking into getting my first ukulele. I'm putting one on my Christmas list. Would you recommend this as my 1st ukulele?

[@shoepixie]

@@erinevans1032 Yeah! You could do much worse for your first one. And, you can take it everywnhere and play for friends!

[@asafawks]

That was super helpful how you played your other uke, then the flight, then another uke, then the flight again. Most people don’t do that and it was really helpful thank you!

[@raven4114]

It's really amazing how such a small instrument such as the ukulele can make such a stunning sound, Great video Katie!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I know right? I'm surprised how if compared to everything else! Thanks for being here. I love hearing from you.

[@ConnorBerry]

Wish I had random ukuleles delivered to my door! Also wish I had a cabin getaway...

[@OneMusicSchool]

I wish I had a cabin too. It was my friend's cabin, but I want to go there more often :). I will say this. I do feel some pressure to be able to give you the best review as possible, and I do see this a huge responsibility. I hope that they help you :). Thank you for your support. I really appreciate it when another musician comes along side me.

[@renacorey5728]

This review is so helpful! I really liked how you did a sound comparison ❤️ I was surprised to hear such a big voice from it 😊 have a wonderful day!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so happy that you found that helpful! I was surprised as well when I was editing the footage and listening to the different sounds side by side. Thank you for watching and thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

[@lisac1547]

I love the side-by-side comparison, that was REALLY helpful!!! I always wished I'd have stuck with the ukulele (any stringed instrument, really) when we learned in gradeschool back in the seventies. Pianos are great, but not portable ;) So, at 55, I just began to learn ukulele again, and am watching you and Bernadette. I just received the Flight TUS35 I bought for my (now 20 months old) grandson. I'll be keeping it a few years yet, breaking it in and all. I'm a beginner player myself, but by the time he's ready to learn I'll be okay. Question: Of course I'm having to tune it every five minutes because it's brand-new (they ship them with the strings basically just ON there, apparently, no stretching done at all) and as I tighten the strings, I'm finding the E string is not going to have enough room to tighten much more (it's beginning to overlap the previous wrap, making a second 'layer' if you will). Please tell me I don't have to try to remove that string and trim it a bit shorter so it won't do that any more... What do you think? (and thank you for your help, here if you have time to answer, and for your videos that are so in-depth!)

[@dannahnoel]

So helpful! And I agree with you I love how you compared the sound to other ukes. Really it sounded better than a few of them! “Tiny yet mighty”! Love it! And the color!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I really do like it. I actually have it with me right now on a weekend trip.

[@evanssm1]

I actually bought two of these yesterday: I originally intended to buy only one as a gift for the son of a friend who will shortly be nine years old althoughI've no idea if he'll like it enough to want to learn how to play. I wanted to get him something affordable that wouldn't hold him back if he was interested in playing. I did notice how sharp the frets felt on some of the other budget instruments that I tried and I didn't realise until I saw your video that this was a common issue with ukes (presumably they are made in hot countries and the wood shrinks). There's definitely nothing protruding on the flight instrument. My main reason for buying the Flight Travel uke was the plastic construction. I thought that it might turn out to be more child resistant than the average uke, so it's more likely to still be around on a year or two. The top has a matt finish, which I think probably helps with the sound. One thing that I didn't notice you mention in the video was the mock grain texture on the neck which might not be to the liking of some people. I also thought that it was strange that, given that it is plastic, the manufacturers should have gone for a fake maple colour on the neck. The fingerboard doesn't feel like plastic at all. Having got one for my young friend, I realised that I'd probably end up getting saddled with teaching him the basics and, as I've never even held a uke before yesterday, I thought I'd better try and learn something about them myself so, about thirty minutes later I went back to the shop and got the same model for myself. In my case, the child resistance of the instrument was less of an issue so my choice was based purely on the feel (no "razor neck" was a big plus) and the tone of the instrument - although I didn't realise how good the sound was until I saw the comparisons in the video. I've had a fun day playing with my new uke (thanks also to the video, I now know that uke arm is something that is not unique to me!). I've already picked up a few chords and have enjoyed strumming away to classics such as "Tonight you belong to me" as well as a few modern 3 chord wonders and I'm getting my head around the standard high g tuning, which really messed with my head when I was trying out the instruments in the store, so hopefully, I should be able to set my young friend in the right direction when I give him his instrument tomorrow. Although I put quite a bit of thought into getting this as a gift, in the case of the instrument that I got for myself it was more of an impulse purchase. I have quite large hands and although I find I'm OK at the nut end, I think things would start to feel cramped once I go beyond the 3rd fret. So, if I end up getting interested in the uke, I'd probably end up going for a concert, or even larger scale, instrument but i would probably have to pay a lot more for a larger scale instrument with an equivalent sound. So, I'd recommend this for anyone who wants an instrument for traveling, or, an instrument that would stand up to a lot of abuse (ideal for a child taking the instrument to and from school). Because of the surprisingly good sound I'd also recommend this as an instrument for anyone who wants to dip their toes into the water and find out what ukuleles are all about.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thank you for leaving such thoughtful feedback! I’m so appreciate of your time and for sharing your experience. 😀😀😀😀

[@evanssm1]

@@OneMusicSchool : - I’m glad that my comments were appreciated. Both I and my friend’s son are still having a lot of fun with our ukuleles although I’ve moved on from the TUS35 and I’ve now got a whole family of ukuleles - hopefully, over the next few days I’ll be posting some comments on some of your other videos as some of the experiences, both good and not so good, that I’ve had in acquiring my new family relate to some of the of the other instruments that you’ve reviewed. Over the last few months I’ve spent a lot of time exploring my inner virtuosity (although, at this stage, I’m still keeping my virtuosity very much on the inside :-) ): I’ve been working on some of the early pieces in James Hill’s “Duets For One” and I’ve got one or two other tunes in an almost recognisable form as well :-). Now I’ve spent a lot more time playing other ukuleles (will I ever feel my fingers again?). I find that I can manage to do most of what I can on a larger instrument on the TUS35. I am able to play further up the neck than I originally thought I’d be able to although, although, more often than not, barred chords higher up the neck come across slightly muffled because I my finger is fatter than the space between the frets. (the result sounds OK but doesn’t stand up to scrutiny). If I get the same result on a larger instrument, at least I know it’s because I’m rubbish. :-) One thing I’ve noticed is that the silver paint on the frets on the TUS35 wears off quite quickly - My one looks almost fretless up as far as the 5th fret and the paint on the frets on the E and A strings has pretty much gone up to the 8th or 10th fret. This is only a cosmetic thing as it's only the paint that's worn away and, to my mind, a bit of honest wear and tear adds character to any instrument (whereas, if you take a chunk out of the gloss on your new… whatever on day one, that is just sad :-( ). Also for any parents thinking of getting one of these for a child who’s learning, the disappearing paint “feature” is a good way to tell whether your child has been practising :-). Although he’s always keen to play when I visit, and he is picking things up quite quickly, I’ve noticed that my young friend’s TUS35 remains in pristine condition - my only regret is that I gave him the best looking one :-).

[@tlaquilo62]

OMGeee this was a great review! I learned a lot and especially liked the side by side comparison. Thank you!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so happy that it helped you, and I hope it helps you look at Ukuleles differently as you're shopping 😁.

[@AyaBookz]

Just order one now. After days of thorough research and hours of watching reviews. Thank u so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MaybelleQD]

I have had a Flight TU35 for 6 months (in black). It really is the perfect travel uke. Mine spent a month travelling in my campervan around Europe in 90+ degree heat . The action and intonation is great and it sounds fab. I even performed a little gig with it. Mine did come with a sturdier bag which was a massive bonus as I wasn't expecting it. My only, slightly less positive, observations are that strings did seem to take a little while to settle and the silver paint(?) on the plastic frets has worn off but neither of those are a problem. I've been practicing All You Need Is Love on it this week :-)

[@TrueBipytron]

Hey! Would you recommend it for long-term travel? I'm going backpacking for 9-11 months next year and am looking into a traveling ukulele. I currently have a concert size one that I don't want to risk getting scratched up, its too pretty hehe.

Thanks for this review. Thanks especially for the side-by-side sound comparison. Keep up the great work!

[@OneMusicSchool]

Yeah! I'm so glad that the side by side comparison helped! I think I should do that more often. Sometimes it's hard to tell what something sounds like until you compare it with other brands made out of different materials. Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

What fun review! And so much information! Thank you for discussing the action-that was really helpful. 😊 The side-by-side comparison was great, too! I’m also glad you talked about the rounded body because I’ve been curious about that, too. It was really cool seeing you play it outside on the boat! 😃

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hey girl! How are you? I was surprised how full the tone was as well. I was really surprised with I compared it to other ukes as well how it competed with some other ones that were three times as expensive.

[@markwest2936]

One of the best instrument reviews I have seen.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Aww! Thank you :).

[@RachelSchell]

I have one of these and I've started using it more than my Kala. The sound is bright, but soft and warm.

[@OneMusicSchool]

My mom has the waterman, and she doesn't really play it anymore. I can understand why tone wise. The waterman is completely water-resistant, and that is perfect for wet climates. If water isn't an issue, I love the tone the TUS35 produces.

[@jeniferepkey3426]

Thanks for the sound comparison with other ukes. It helped a lot. I've been seriously considering getting one of these just because I'd like a soprano size and it's a great price. I don't see myself playing a soprano as much as I do the concert and tenor but it's that "classic" Hawaiian sound that I just can't stop thinking about!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so happy that this helped :). I know that I was really surprised by the fullness of the one for such a small, affordable instrument. Let me know if you do end up picking one up, and let me know what you think :).

Soooo....I was already totally becoming one of your biggest fans (after watching a few other vids this morning--thank you also for the re-stringing video, and "save your uke" video!) and THEN, I started seeing some popular Christian music tutorials pop-up, and THEN, I saw this one(!) about a uke I just ordered to try out for purposes of travel and variable conditions (like for use in a parade, or on my PONTOON), so, I hit play so that I could hear yet another confirmation of all the things I am looking forward to about this uke...and there you were, sharing the great, detailed info(!), AND singing some of my fave Christian and other songs, AND on a pontoon! What??? It was just a joyous moment, which I know is funny, because I am just one more fan of yours, but there you have it. (Fyi, closer and closer to pulling the trigger on ordering an Enya Nova U for the waterproof element...I also teach paddleboard and need one that is even safer on the water for this waterbaby...but trying to hold myself back until the other arrives...because adulting & self-control? ;-)) Anyway, you are wonderful, thank you!

I think the sound is great, very smooth and sweet. I love Grace’s signature on the back. It was a cute personal touch. I know some people do not the like the telecaster head stock on the acoustic instruments, but I think it makes it look unique and iconic. I also noticed the ease of tuning the strings because of the design. I was also lucky enough to get to play it in store before purchasing and that made the experience even better. I think it is a great ukulele for the intermediate to expert player or a beginner who already plays a similar instrument (guitar). I think price is very reasonable considering the quality of the instrument, the quality of the gig bag, and the 3 month free subscription to Fender play.

I have a Ovation guitar, it has a plastic round shape back, top spruce wood, the neck is plastic with a metal fret board, frets and fret board from one single item, purchased it years ago because I didn’t want weather changes to it. So this has been used before. The interesting things about Ovations is they can mathematically predict the sound by slightly changing the round shape back. My model is more bass sounding. Glen Campbell used to play one, well a $$$ model over my circa 1980 $350 one, they lost a little favor because they are a little harder to play sitting down, the round back, given the size of it.

I have a Sakura Flight Uke. It's nice; VERY bright-sounding. I did have to change the strings though ( I would like to note that). The original factory strings made this sound when your fingers would roll off of them; it was akin to running your fingers on glass or nails on a chalkboard (only not as egregious). The squeaking sound was too much to ignore during softer songs that I would fingerpick so I replaced them with some Martin Fluorocarbon Stings.

One thing that is killing me since yesterday and I can't remember: what is the name of the second song you played in the boat? Also do you have a video on how to play it? Thanks so much again!!!!!

[@nelafrancova6443]

I really like this ukulele - the bright sound and the look. But is it worth buying even if I don't need durable ukulele and if I wouldn't mind investing let's say up to 150$ - I'll be playing just for fun and as I know myself not very often 😇?

[@Victoria-jj1kr]

This was super helpful !! Thank you :) I was wondering if you can do a comparison between flight soprano and the concert sopran they have ? That would help me a lot as i searched the internet but there is actually no such video ! Thanks a lot in advance :)

[@fruityfibre2013]

Got my eye on one of these, I wasn't hugely happy with my Flight Concert, it takes a lot of effort to play, I love my soprano! Does this allow for easy/ effortless playing? I have a cheapie Maholo Soprano and it's so easy on the joints and hands 💙 I never thought to check here for a review! Thanks 😊

[@user-zz5wx6dj9j]

I love me some travel ukulele! 😍

[@OneMusicSchool]

I really like it too. Do you have one?

[@user-zz5wx6dj9j]

@@OneMusicSchool no mam, I don't have one for travel as of the moment. 😊 I'll have one, in time. My concert size is not that of a travel buddy, I assume.

[@Greg-vd5om]

How cool is your video?....COOL!.....Very surprising sound from this Uke (sound comparison was a great idea to do)....Price is so affordable.....bag is not so good but, what can you expect for the price?......better to have a cheap bag and better Uke then visa versa (is that the name of a Nissan car?)........I also like the color.......Nice review, Katie.....Bieber for Sheriff?...Ugh!...Thats almost as bad as Trump for.......Hmmm...never mind...:)...Have a great day, Katie!.

I got my ukuleles just before covid. I just have been waiting for some help to get going. Now that things are a tiny bit normal, maybe I can get some real lessons.

[@OneMusicSchool]

You can do it!

[@SalilBahlthemanwithauke]

Hey loved the aound of it. I was incli ed towards this model vs the enya nova ukulele. Can you please compare the two?

[@kevinpower9534]

Thanks. Super helpful. You just saved me 50€ euros. IAM not a trained ear but for me the sound from the flight was way clearer. You would know better. But the others are difficult to justify as a beginner for value.

[@tarmuka]

I am thinking of changing the strings on mine which I have had for 3 years. Is like for like replacement best or are there any strings that work better on this uke?

[@okezsoke]

Would you still recommend this as a beginner ukulele, or is there anything else you would recommend for the same or maximum double price?

[@1967dragonaxe]

Would the compensated saddle make swapping the strings to play left handed difficult?

[@Deatg-ek8rf]

Possible to use low g string and tuning on this uke?

[@felipebrito2924]

Would anyone consider this ukelele as a good option for a beginner about 8 yo, or what other alternative should I be looking for?

[@thehannalogueway]

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I am left handed and looking for my first ukulele. I am wondering if this Flight Travel Ukulele would be nice if I restring it for a lefty? Thank you, your videos are really helpful. Hanna

[@cocolele2898]

do you have issue with slipping( the back part) i do and its really annoying.. keep on thinking way that i can d so it doesnt slides too much.

[@malle7820]

My Ukulele is an silver one with brown strings, its made with plastic too but it sounds perfect.

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's great! It goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover :).

[@malle7820]

@@OneMusicSchool oh, thanks!

[@haltman74]

Ciao do you think is enough solid to be carry with you in a luggage or backpack during a trip?

[@sugarluv444]

If a basketball 🏀 were to hit this ukulele on a scale from 1-10 how damaged would it be? What ukulele would you take to school : this ukulele or the Bondi concert ukulele (the one from the starter kit)?

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's a new question :). I think it would be a 3. I guess it depends upon how hard the basketball hit the uke. Man, both are great. I would take the TUS-35. It's meant to take more of a beating but it still has a big voice.

[@sugarluv444]

One Music School thank you so much for replying Katie. Also thank you so much for the circle of life tutorial. I learned the song in one day. Thank you so much Katie❤️ God Bless You ❤️

[@madelynbermudez4163]

Hey Katie! I was wondering if I leave my solid wood UKE at home for a month (my family and I are going to Philippines next year) would it be ok? Or will it crack?

[@ma.polooo7700]

is the flight 35 the same as the 40

[@coralleonard5981]

I was confused about what you were talking about for the saddle on the flight. Were you saying the flight is good at staying in tune. Or that it needs something more to not be toyish.

[@PhilipVegaR]

Can you do a review on the makala waterman

[@yiruiliu5444]

how many cm is this ? I have one similiar than this and it is 56 cm , but the normal soprano ukulele is about 55 cm , isn't it?

[@laurietice2612]

What are the best strings to put on this ukulele??? Also what about a good gig bag with better padding? Suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

[@dannahnoel]

Also is flight international?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Flight is based out of Europe, so I’m sure you could find a dealer. Where are you from?

[@Rainbows78]

So I bought this ukulele and although it's new, it gets way out of tune way more quickly than any of my other ukuleles, in the middle of songs, etc. Can I assume, this will still get better over time?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Good question. Have you gently tugged on the strings to stretch them out? The more you play it, the better is should be. I'll link my string changing video where I show you how to gently stretch out your strings.

@@OneMusicSchool Thank you! It's a gift for a friend who is interested in starting, so I'm hoping to get it "broken in" before she starts. I have gently tugged on the strings, but I will continue to do this until it gets better!

[@PeterSedmakMusic]

Hi Katie :-) (I hope I got your name right) First, I would like to praise your channel, lot of great content, I espetially enjoy unboxing videos among tutorials :-) So, I actually got this ukulele this monday! :-) Well, not exactly this one, but the Flight TUS50. I am not really entirely sure what is different on it, except of the top which is not painted to one colour and has this cool lyzard ornaments around the soundhole, other than that, the same size, 15 frts, zero fret, the same materials and so on, maybe you're gonna be able to tell more of the difference but I doubt there is anything else different other than the top: instagram.com/p/BoroEJFnyAg/?taken-by=peter_tho8 So, I started learning ukulele about two months ago, I mean I got my first way back but kind of id not get to it until recently, and I can tell you, I am totally in love with it, with it's voice and how much revarding it is. I love to travel a lot and I would like to be taking my instrument with me. And I wouldn't dare to take my concert uke to the plane or to the cabin or camping trip.. so I got the Flight TUS50. After two days playing it a lot I can say that it is amazing how well the tuning holds after such short time for a new instrument. I love how low the action is and I find it's voice very warm. I can let you know after I'll take it with me to a trip for the first time :-)

[@nic-ke7np]

Ookalaylay?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Yup, that’s how you pronounce it, but either way is fine with me.

[@nic-ke7np]

@@OneMusicSchool huh, I didn't know you could pronounce it that way. Thanks

[@fishlaugh]

It's hard to judge the sound from the travel clips or from an individual chord. We'd get a better sense of the sound if you had played a short song in studio where you have control of the audio.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Good suggestion. I think my studio is pretty comparable to others. I"m using a RODES shotgun mic that is only inches away from my face and the instrument and it's running through my soundboard (Zoom). I'm not using the camera audio at all. To keep it simple, consistent, and concise, I played just one open chord.
