I am a grandmother from the States, specifically the bourbon trail in central Kentucky, and I have to say that I never miss a video ( I have seen this one several times now)and you young men are as adorable as you are talented! I learn so much from every video. Thank you sooo very, very much for every single one!!😊

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Thank you so much for spreading your positivity xxx

[@Kie77]

I look forward to this video every year. Congratulations Master Sammy - you have a proud padawan here. Your ukulele is just a joy and looks gorgeous. Well done!!

[@lanceriffle4841]

Duet with the Singers really nice!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bonniedavidson936]

I just love the look of that singer ice tea ukulele!!!

[@KingWilly31]

For me, the Flight 4SB by Sammy is the most beautiful, payable Ukulele 🖤

[@turbochargedus-vz5dz]

Love you to do a comparison between the Fireball and the 4SB especially since Sammy thinks they are "opposites" and he loves them both! 😎

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

I have wanted a Flight Uke all year long which is when I started playing/learning the ukulele. The design and appearance of their ukes are the most attractive uke's I have seen out there. The price point however was beyond my budget, so I couldn't buy the Fireball or the Comet. So when I saw that an online Uke shop here in the states had the affordable Flight Aurora EQ-A in a Baritone I jumped on it and I am super excited to get it delivered this coming up Thursday. I am a uke player that loves the 4 nylon strings, and find the guitar to difficult for me, so the Baritone uke has the perfect deep linear guitar sound I want with the comfort ease of play and size I need. I currently have 2 Kala baritones, and on Friday I will also be getting a Kala 8 string Baritone. The Flight 4SB is my dream uke and if they have it available in a baritone I might be able to afford one next year by this time.

[@KingWilly31]

You will love the Aurora! I held off buying a baritone ukulele for a very long time. It was just ignorance because I thought if they were in a different mood, I would have to learn that too and it would be too difficult. Now I just start playing and currently prefer playing them to the concert greats because they have such a warm, powerful tone. Even fingerstyle songs that are actually written for small ukuleles can be played wonderfully with the baritone and the Aurora is really beautiful 🙏🏻 the original strings are good but with Ukelogic Smoothwound Gold strings I think it is perfect. Have fun with it 👋🏻

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

@@KingWilly31 Very cool, thanks for the info! 👍I will check out the Ukelogic Smoothwound Gold strings.

[@Eric-xg9nq]

All the ukes I bought from SUD, and especially the last one, unique, and which you envy me, dear Alex..

[@whatthepluck4126]

I guess the4sb will be on a lot of Xmas lists this year. Beautiful ❤

[@whatthepluck4126]

Beautiful Duet you guys are awesome. Loving the singer. 😊

[@marimaeabreu]

Wow, massive congratulations Chief Sammy!

[@mikek4708]

Great run through, thanks so much. Congrats to all brands making the top ten, well deserved. Congrats, 4SB is so aesthetically and auditory pleasing. Thanks SUS for the effort in producing this, community appreciate it. 👍

[@ericgray2485]

Well done Sammy. A cool looking ukulele which sounds awesome 👏

[@janlesinski4719]

Koaloha just have a magic sound

[@RisenGRR]

put a low g on anything makes it sound good.

[@bonniedavidson936]

Congratulations Sammy !!!! Well deserved. Awesome ukulele. Love the black color of the 4SB!! Way to go !

[@mxm7593]

Great selection this year! And I liked seeing sound samples from all of you - 4 different styles of playing, very inspiring! Thanks for all your vids and words and - naturally - thank you for the music. Wish you best for 2024 - keep it up

[@kenmarland5627]

My Rebel Double Creme from SUS. Beautiful

[@raymondstebbins5904]

The singers are really nice but the koaloha with a cedar soundboard sound and value for Hawaiian made with cedar top my #1 pick what a nice ukulele no bling just pure low g perfection

[@KingWilly31]

Flight makes incredibly beautiful ukuleles ❤ for me it is Art not just Instruments 😍

[@andrewcattini1151]

I have a feeling the Enya 5 String Moon Taimane signature model will win. It’s pretty gorgeous and a bit different to everything other manufacturers have made.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

It didn't win but was obviously a very good guess!

[@TheNibblerjack]

Flight 4SB is gorgeous! One day it will be mineeeee ❤

[@kithg]

This is always enjoyable, guys. Even when people’s faves don’t make the list. All well deserved, I think. I yearn after a spruce top Koaloha. Thanks.

[@deniseforbes2332]

Can’t wait!

[@davidberger7022]

So much more than information or instruction . . . Inspiration on multiple levels. Thank you to all presenting this excellent sublime effort. And kudos for the high production values and exquisite music.

[@tehdood]

Kept waiting to here the number 1's name get called. So cool!

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Thanks for sticking with us this evening

[@johnwashburn3793]

This video popped up and I thought "why not." I have subscribed. By the name I expected some good old boys from Tennessee or Mississippi. Y'all have crazy southern accents for certain. I had fancied myself to be a ukulele player...thank you. Great video!

[@pixpusher]

You guys have the best Revelator demos. (Compared to others I've heard online)

[@lestorhaslam]

Great stuff! Happy Christmas boys.

[@phyllismorris94]

I have a Flight soprano pineapple that I purchased new in 2023 in USA for $79 with the nice gigbag in khaki canvas. It is quite nice. It is probably mahogany.

[@bellamusica8126]

always very good, thanks

[@thewintergardener2873]

I've always loved the bright & uplifting sound of the Ukulele... Wish I had the talent to learn to play one..

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

You can do it!

[@maryraley6019]

Thank you for showing and playing your top ten ukuleles for the year. I’d seen some reviewed on Got A Ukulele, yet others were new to me. The Revelator seemed to have a wide range of tonal qualities through the different segments. I loved all of your playing, yet amazed by Sammy, and hoped he’d keep playing on and on. Love those harmonics! And where did he get that funky thumb pick?!

[@881buddha]

Hi Alex, I love my Martin OXK concert. It’s my “not so poor man’s” Blackbird.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Cool. As long as you're happy!

[@dianebrookes221]

OOohhh... those Revelators are just stunning. They both look and sound the part. Wish there was a Concert version.

[@jasonclarke7422]

The Singer RT1K iced tea sunburst is beautiful, if I had this ukulele I would put it in a display cabinet and just enjoy looking at it.

[@mountfairweather]

WOW WOW WEEE WAAAAA!

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Always love this comment... literally never gets old.

[@migueloliveiracordal5407]

brazilian here just clicked on a randown video and i like it

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Thanks Miguel!

[@cynbadii]

Watched again - such a great round up review of stellar instruments; I want to shop, but who’s got that kind of dosh?!? Also, I’m going through some Alex Withdrawal… it’s been three weeks - come back!!!

[@bellamusica8126]

wonderful ! but it's very sad because we can't find the almost good ukuleles tenor... in France without pay near 100€ minimum the almost time. Thanks for your videos, great quality.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

We ship to France duty paid...

[@lefty5string]

are you playing a righty left handed? im a lefty guitarist but thought id learn uke upside down so i could grab a righty if someone had one and just play rhythm instead of toting around a lefty or restringing. how hard can uke chords be right?

[@robertgriener1498]

Flight will rock the top Ten!

[@FlightUkulele]

🎉🎉🎉

[@MrKevflo]

evening

[@mikealdred9321]

I cannot find the flight even available in Canada

[@MarkJoinson]

Does Alex play right handed ukulele upside down?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I am left handed and when I can I will play that way... for the purpose of the SUS videos I play right handed ukes upside down.

[@vs_830]

Why no fender?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Because its a list of our top 10 ukuleles of 2023.

[@vs_830]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore so fender seaside for example is worse than 10 those top? Why?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

It's a laminate beginners ukulele. There's nothing wrong with a laminate beginners ukulele but that isn't something that's really on our radar like the ukes in the video. We do stock fender ukuleles but that's not even a model I choose to stock because its similar to more popular models like a Kala KA-S or an Ohana SK10 and I find the QC on the more established uke brands is usually better anyway at this price point.

[@vs_830]
