I seldom use the word 'lovely' but this ukulele is gorgeous! Aside from its music making capacity, it would be a piece of fine art for the home. Love the sound. I lean to the brighter side. No doubt, Flight is 'making waves' in the ukulele community.

Don't think I have a favourite as such, but I'm quite traditional. For sopranos I always stick to mahogany. Bigger ukes, hard to beat Koa. I wouldn't have a maple uke myself for same reason I don't like spruce on ukes - too crisp for my ears and prefer woody tones, but... each to their own!

It's a funny thing that you referred to this ukulele as sounding "like a bell". When I was just a young boy in the 1970s and playing the 4 string banjo, the old timers who mentored me, with their pre-war tenor and plectrum banjos from the 1920s Jazz Era, would frequently refer to the models made with tiger-striped maple resonators as sounding like a ringing bell (since we are Yanks it was known to us as tiger-striped maple rather than quilted maple). Seems that maple does lend that bell-like tonal quality. Perfect sound for a tenor banjo! For a ukulele, sometimes yes, sometimes no. If nothing else, it's an arrow in the player's quiver.

Damn! I have found one of these in a butique here in Denmark for £814 and am seriously tempted. A real stunner! That's a good price concidering we have 25% VAT here. I can see you also had the a10 spruce/Cocobolo beside you, do you remember if you had any thoughts about that one? I can also buy that one for £814, and it has the Lublijana logo inlay, and the 'X', BUT the neck on the blue quilted maple looks amazing .... and a comfort edge. A real looker with the 'blue ripple' I don't have a chance to try before buying, so I would appreciate a quick nod, or any reason why I should maybe go with the Spruce/Cocobolo model instead. I won't hold you responsible no matter what. Yours Barry Nielsen
