BUDGET UKULELE SHOPPING GUIDE
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 15. 08. 2024
- NOTE: If you're on a TIGHT ukulele shopping budget, this is the video for you. We will be talking about ukuleles that are all under $80. If you have a more flexible budget, definitely check out the Ukulele Buying Guide (will be published December 4, 2018).
This video is not sponsored.
UKULELES MENTIONED
1. Blue ukulele
Avoid any ukulele that looks like the first one mentioned. The paint job on this ukulele is so thick that it would overshadow the tone. The worst part about instruments like this is that the action (string height) is too high. When the space between the strings and the fingerboard is too high, the ukulele is uncomfortable to play.
2. Kiwi ukulele amzn.to/2TzIfZA
This ukulele is better than the first one. This one holds tune, has a lower string height, and resembles a ukulele tone. This one is not the best one we looked at in the video, but if the ukulele is a child's first instrument, it will serve its purpose.
3. ADM Mahogany Concert Ukulele
amzn.to/2Tvli9T
This is the only concert sized ukulele we looked at in this video. That is because concert ukuleles tend to be more expensive. This ukulele is definitely pricier than the first two we looked at, but still has a very reasonable price. This ukulele has a mahogany body and neck and a rosewood fingerboard bridge. Italian Aquila Nylgut strings. This was the first ukulele to include a gig bag in the package.
4. Flight Travel Ukulele

This ukulele is the only ukulele in this video that has a zero fret. The zero fret helps the action remain low without causing a buzz or rattling sound. This ukulele is available in different colors and includes a gig bag. The sound on this instrument is different because it has wooden pieces, so please be aware of that! The sound is bright, and unique.

Out of the entire list, this is the budget ukulele I feel most confident about recommending to you. This ukulele is in a pineapple shape, which gives the ukulele a bigger voice. Out of all of the ukuleles mentioned in this video, this ukulele has the most traditional sound and look. Flight Music has also proven to be a very reliable company with excellent customer service, which makes me recommend them as the top choice for you here today.

Such a huge difference in not only tone quality, but intonation! Wow! I really wish this video had existed when I was first looking into teaching classroom ukulele. We use the Makala Watermans. They really are okay, hold their tuning well, and I have 4 colors so that's a fun thing each time - "what color do you get today?"
But the tone quality is not what the Flight delivers! That sound is lovely! I also have a Luna soprano, I think that's a nice one.
Yes!! There is a huuuge difference. Thatâs why I added the play along with all the ukuleles together at the end.
Thank you for letting me know how you feel about the waterman ukes. Itâs good to know for future reference
Do you find the action is really high in the Waterman? I have the glow in the dark one and find I don't play it often.
@@ronnieball9086 It might be on the high side. I will say when I purchased them I was used to high action and that is something that's especially challenging for young kids.
Okay so, my first ukulele was reeeeaaally bad (it only cost 20âŹ) but playable....
my second Ukulele was really expensive it cost 217⏠(really high quality)
My third Ukulele only cost 29⏠(from Thomann) it has a great sound and stays in tune for a long time:) so Thomann ukuleles are cheap and good, totally worth it and i recommend them a LOT! Hope this helps some of you #cheapisnotalwaysbad!
Totally agree with you! You can get something great on a budget and you can get something that's not so great even if it is expensive. #expensiveisnotalwaysgood :D
Hey, which is the thomann model? Harley benton lv100?
I already bought my ukulele. I'm just here to watch for no reason.
You are still welcomed and appreciated here!! đ€đ€
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic đ
I have both Flight ukuleles and couldn't be happier đđŒ The Pineapple one ticked many boxes for me simply because of the look (pineapple shape, engraved soundhole, the shark) but the classic ukulele sound of it definitely makes it one of my favourites to play with.
The travel ukulele is not only striking for the colour but the name delivers: It's perfect for travelling because of the plastic. Additionally, the plastic gives it a very loud sound, which I find absolutely incredible! However I don't want it to go unmentioned that not everyone will love this sound as much, I definitely had one person tell me they weren't such a fan of it (especially compared to the Pineapple one)
Listen to Ms B, people, and gift smart this holiday season!
Ahhhh thank you so much for your feedback! This is great :) very helpful for people looking for more info!
Could you please tell me which one is better?
Excellent video! I am a huge fan of "cheap ukes", not because I'm on a limited budget but because I'm just a cheap kinda gal. I also enjoy tweaking unplayable instruments, and have enjoyed "rescuing" a lot of poorly crafted ukes. I have bought $20 ukes new that played really well, and I've spent over $200 on new ukes with buzzes that I could not remedy. Some brands are simply badly made across the board. Some are hit and miss (poor quality control). Two inexpensive brands that are pretty consistently strong per your criteria (which you describe so well!) are Dolphin Makala (my red one cost me about $40 a few years ago and now sells for around $60) and enya Nova U (my black soprano cost me just under $50). These two brands/models are definitely worth this price point. I appreciate this video so much; in the uke world, the phrase "You get what you pay for" is often inaccurate.
This is great Ms. B! A recommendation from you is a huge help in choosing budget ukes. Glad you did this!
Hey Abby! Thank you so much! I also welcome recommendations from the community! You have a great blue uku ;)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Thanks. Btw, i love the make up â€ïžâ€ïž
You know this is weird but just yesterday I was binge watching ukulele buying guides from other youtubers. However, I wanted a budget friendly one and haha well you fulfilled my wish today! How ironic right! đđ
đđđ that is pretty funny! While you were binge watching, I was editing!
Great video! I chose a flight as my first ukulele. Another big plus is that the shipping is free in the EU if you order directly in their webshop. This discount also helps make their ukes really affordable.
Can't wait till the next one.
Thank you so much!! Which of the Flight models was your first ukulele?
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic the NUS310! I think it's perfect to begin with, but I learned so much by now that I want something a bit bigger.
Hey, I just wanted to pop up here real quick. When I was first buying a ukulele, I knew absolutely nothing about ukuleles. I bought a Stagg US-RED ukulele and I wanted to recommend it for all the confused people out there. I have seen plenty of cheap ukuleles in my life, but this one is the bet one yet. It's really cheap, you can get it for as little as 35 euro in lots of places. It is well-made, definitely does not look like it would break when playing a little harder. It looks clean, sounds amazing, it has pretty soft strings, so it's perfect for people that have never played a string instrument before. It's tiny and handy. I have it for 2 years now, no defects, looks almost like new. This is my full honest opinion, and it is not biased or influenced in any way. I highly recommend this ukulele and i hope I helped :)
I got a Flight Pineapple ukulele a few years ago. chose it because I liked the shape :). It has stayed in tune SO well - I can come back to it after months away and it's still perfectly in tune. Very helpful video - thank you!
Wow, this was really educational âCoachâ!!! I was planning to buy one of those cheap Ukeâs....But thought putting good strings would make it OKđ€đ€đ€. *That âZero nutâ is interesting......Never heard of that......Looks like a nut......Whatâs the difference between the top nut and a zero nut? And that LAST UKU.....the Flight Uke.......GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! Yesssss, definitely sounded THE BEST!!!!!! Thanks again âCoachâ. Have an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING!
The zero nut makes it possible for the action to be as low as possible without causing a buzz! It is very nice for anyone struggling with barred chords!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! :) Love, hugs, and kisses! â€ïžđ€
Plastic Ukuleles were actually pretty popular in the 1950s, the famed Mario Maccaferri (who designed Django Reinhardtâs guitar) sold millions of completely plastic ukuleles. They sound suprisingly good too!
banjo playing bison
In the 50âs they thought that plastic would be the âfutureâ material because itâs supposedly indestructible and goes for centuries. So with that in mind, everything plastic sold nicely in the 50âs.
am i the only one loving the sparkle on your eyes in this vid?
Ikr it looks beautiful
This is an excellent video for all of those who want to buy their first ukulele. When I bought mine, I did not even know that there were different sizes of ukulele, so I ended up buying the popular soprano ukelele. Although it sounds good, when I try to play very high chords, the sound is practically lost. I will later save some money to buy a concert ukulele ... It seems to be much more comfortable.
Thank you very much, Bernadette, for helping us with these options. :) đđđđ
Mari, you are doing so well with your soprano. The fact that you've been playing the instrument for so little and are already attempting such difficult chords and positions on the instrument is very impressive. I hope that your next ukulele is also made by a luthier because they did a great job with the one you have!
I just ordered a Kala KA-15S Mahogany Soprano Ukulele. Is this a good ukulele that you know of? (It was around 55 dollars)
Hey! Yes, thatâs a very popular brand! Thank you for letting us know!! đđ
I'm far from beginner but also a bad teacher, so I chow your video to my kids đ
Thanks for a very good and helpfull video â€
Thank you for this very helpful and informative video Ms. B! We have those ukuleles in your "not recommended" list. đ±đ°. And through experience, I know for a fact, you are right, if the instrument doesn't feel right and sound right first and foremost, a child (or any person for that matter) no matter how eager to learn, will not want to play it in the long run. That's the least we want to happen.
We need more music in the world. It gives so much joy and happiness! So let's go and play more!!! đŒđ”đ¶đđđ
Thank you so much, Frances!
Many people are looking for the cheapest ukulele out there and buy those colored/bright/fun-looking ukes and then they contact me and ask me why it hurts when they play, why they can't do barre chords, etc. It's unfortunate they blame themselves when lots of problems are caused by a bad uke!
I'm new to this. Honoka & Azita drew me in. But I am so, so glad to find you, Bernadette. You present yourself very well, and you offer the exact kind of things students or newbies need to hear. You've increased the excitement greatly! Thank you so much! Good job.
I enjoyed this video very much. I will be purchasing the Flight Travel ukulele soon just because of what it was made for. I have played a few and was blown away by the sound and playability. Looking forward to the next video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Hey! Which color are you planning on getting? I love my little black one, but the yellow and the orange ones are calling my name!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I like the red, My favorite color.
BTW, that black would make a great background to have something painted....
Thank you for sharing your insight on what to look for in a ukulele when buying. It was a huge help!
Thank you, Steve! These are just the basics and I'm hoping it will help first-time buyers!
Yes!! Great subject
:)
I love that you always try to get back to your viewers â€! I hope you are have a awesome Thanksgiving đ
Aww thank you :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I bought the black Flight ukulele. I LOVE IT!! Your discount code helped make it an affordable purchase. Flight customer service is great, they got back to me right away, I was asking about shipping to Canada. They were very reassuring and even posted a pic on their Instagram of all the ukes being shipped out that round. Made me feel like they take pride in their service!!
I really love your channel Bernadette. Really useful videos and beautifully explained. x
Thank you, Steve! I really appreciate that! đ
Iâm getting my first uke in a few days and itâs a flight concert
Flight is Always a good Option. Hope you nailed itđ
Your not a music teacher your a beautiful music teacher â€ïž
Great info!
Glad you like it, Laural!! â€ïž
I have been looking for a uke to take with me on business trips that I don't want to worry about it breaking or something happening to it. I am seriously considering buying that flight travel Uke! I saw it when it first came out but haven't bought one because I have too many as it is - but I don't know, might just do it. Zero fret is really making me want it as well.
it is really comfortable to play on! My mind was totally at ease when I was traveling with this one. I liked that the back of it is all plastic. I could put it on the sand or on the grass without worrying about the wood. This ukulele fit in my carry-on bag as well, so I didn't have to worry about it having to be checked in.
Yes, MS.B!!!
what do I SEE?
well, it's my FLIGHT!!
You are totally RIGHT
playing these FLIGHTS
is an absolute DELIGHT
they really do CARE
so I bought a PAIR
of Flight's TUS35's
sounds so ALIVE
music does SING
they beautifully RING
a voice truly BRIGHT
I play day and NIGHT
Thanks for this REVIEW
what you speak is TRUE
Your videos are so good.
Thank you so much đ€đ€
I've followed you for over 5 its nice to see your continued love of the Uke, thank you so mucho and mahalo.
Este video es de gran ayuda ... gracias!!
Happy thanksgiving too!!
Gracias a ti, Brandon! Que tengas bonito dia!
Well done. I'll check out flight. I need a new Uke. I gave mine to my nephew.
Yeah! They are worth checking out. You can see some other reviews about them all over youtube and make a decision â€ïžâ€ïž
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I'll take your word for it. You seem to know value. God bless you. Happy Thanksgiving from Texas đ
Wow great video Mrs. B! Definitely will use this video when I purchase my next ukulele. Thanksâ€, and happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Alondra! Thank you so much.
I'll be releasing a video about middle range ukuleles too ;)
I wanted a new ukulele for Christmas so this video came on time!!đ

Thank you so much for all of these videos. Based on your recommendations from videos last year, "Santa" delivered an Oscar Schmidt Concert Uke to my then Middle School (now 9th grader) grand daughter. She loved it and has done well with it (gave me a 3 song concert while at the house at Thanksgiving). She admits her trumpet in the school band takes most of her practice time, but her Mom tells me that she plays her Uke almost every day to help "chill" between classes and homework. This year she's come back with a request for a Baritone, so we will see if "Santa" can work his magic again. But now the younger grand daughter (6th Grade) is showing a little interest too. Don't know if she will follow through like her big sister, but this video has helped give me some ideas that won't cost too much if she doesn't follow through. Two years ago when the older one dropped her first hint, I ended up basically getting her a "toy" Uke, because I knew nothing about the instrument. She kept trying to play it but it just wouldn't stay in tune. Your series, is not only helping my grand daughter but has been a big help in educating me!
This video is so detailed. It will be very helpful to a new buyer..
First of all, what's with the new camera quality? :O
Or did you just get prettier?
I think the Flight ukuleles sound the best.
Thank You Luisa for the Time Stamps.
Hi to Arigato.
Love the Queen tshirt. I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last night..
Hey Kevin!
I filmed using daylight and professional lights... crazy what a difference that makes!
I will always be trying to improve the quality of the videos. â€ïžâ€ïž
Thank you for always noticing
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Oh. That's what it was.
Good job Ms. B :)
Thank you :)
Thank you very much for your video! I am buying my daughter her first proper ukulele for her 10th birthday (sheâs wanted one for about a year and now playing at school). Also, we did buy a cheap one from the toy shop but obviously didnât hold a tune. I had no idea what I was looking for buying a nice one until I found this video. Ended up buying a pink Flight ukulele and a tuner clip and got a 10% discount from the code you gave đ„° Iâm very grateful
The ADM has became so popular in 2022 that it sold out of the mahogany color. They only have it left in black which costs $10 more. Still a good price.
Hi, you're right about what to look in choosing the right instrument, I'm also a music teacher, voice and stringed instrument (Rondalla) I think the back portion of the Flight uke is made of fiber glass, just like guitars, they use fiber glass and it sounds great.
The back is ABS (plastic).
Hiiii Iâm planning on getting a CĂłrdoba 15CM ukulele, is this a good one?
Nice of Luisa to do all that with the time codes. It makes it very nice. Thank you.
As someone who only started guitar six months ago, and looked at ukuleles before and after-just bought a ukulele in a thrift shop two weeks ago-I think this is too much expertise to expect from someone who is only just thinking of buying an instrument of any kind.
First thing, plastic is a big no on this tiny, violin sized instrument. Plastic instruments are a bad sign unless theyâre digital.
Second, just pick it up, hold it, strum a little even though you have no idea what youâre doing. If it feels right, itâs probably alright at least for starters.
Third, realize at the very least you are going to have to replace those strings, and the first few times youâre going to have a shop do it. That doesnât mean you couldnât start learning with whatever it comes with, but just strings for under $10 are going to make a difference.
Likewise, consider other costs. You can get a ukulele with absolutely nothing included and start learning to play, whereas with a guitar and most other instruments youâre going to need a few accessories to avoid being disappointed.
Lovely hor d'oeuvre Ms.B. I'll Travel by Flight for that tasty Pineapple Ukulele. Be Ok to start with the Watermelon to get a taste of the ukulele. You served a lovely and satisfying video for our hungry ears.
The comparison songs nicely highlight each uke's "timbre" (learned a new music word, thanks Ms.B) You are so right about the Flights.
You said what I feel and think about them very eloquently. There is a lot of great and highly useful information pack into this 13:31 minute video snack. Wets the appetite for the next comparison review.
Thanks again for the knowledge Ms.B.
Nice to see the Sphinx elegantly composed upon the cat couch.
Happy Giving of Thanks, to you and all in the Ms.B family.
Edit: hungry?
Hi--I just found your videos tonight.Really enjoying your way of explaining everything. This one came at a great time--I've been wanting to learn to play for a couple of years now. At first I was going to go with a Kala, but after hearing the Flight Pineapple, I think I've found my instrument. I played the piano as a child, but at age 60, I hope I can learn to play a uke-I'm so excited! To be able to make music is a wonderful thing!
This is so helpful. I will probably be buying another soprano ukulele for a student after the new year. Based on your recommendation it will be a Flight. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
I love the Flight Pineapple uke. It's so pretty and I LOVE the sound - even from the first strum you did on it, I loved the sound. I love the song at the end. So pretty! Thank you!
Nice job on your ukulele Guide Bernadette Teaches!!!!!!!))) Happy Thanksgiving !!!))) đđđ
Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving, Steve!!
Happy Thanks Giving Ms. B And Happy 71k Subscribers!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!
I purchased a Concert EUC X1 Enya Ukulele on Amazon last week for $53. It included all the extras. Amazon had a lightening deal pop up. I would check Amazon through the holiday season for more lightning deals that may pop up!
Wow!!! That is a fantastic deal! Thank you for sharing. Hope you love your X1!!!
This is just what I needed, thank you!đ
Thank you too, Madison!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
LOL you liked the Flight pineapple so much you couldn't resist singing with it.
I did not skip the ad. Hehe. Pretty as always Bernadette âșïž. Thanks for another great and informational video. Do you have a video on how to tune a ukulele for those who have no idea or 4 beginners?thanks

If things go well in my life, I'm considering buying the travel ukulele. Checking at Flight's website, I'm already vexed to which color to choose even though I won't be deciding to buy until next year. đ Looking forward to my future travel buddy. đ€đŒ (We really need an ukulele emoji, hahah!)
Ahhh! Which color is that?
The sound of the travel ukulele is really unique, so make sure you listen to it! Luisa wrote a little more about it here in the comments too~!
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I'm torn between red or orange, or maybe end up choosing black because black never goes out of style. đ Yeah, saw Luisa's comment too. And I was actually convinced of the travel uke way back when you had the unboxing. đ But the possibility of buying will depend on the direction of my career, if I get to travel often in the future. I see it's the most durable and affordable (considering dollars to PH pesos) out there that it won't worry you when you bring it to places. Okay, I think I talk too much, hahah. Here's to a brighter future! đ€đŒđ€đŒđ€đŒ Hihihih. đ
Ahhh yes! I love those bright ones. The yellow looks so happy, so if I get another one, I would love for it to be a bright color!
But yes, youâre right. Black never goes out of style and I love mine đ€đ€đ€
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Your inputs are really helpful. Thank you! Will update you in the future đ. đ€đŒ
This video helped me sooo much!!! Thank youâ€ïžâ€ïž I ended up purchasing the flight ukulele and I love it!!!!! Sooo happy with it!
My school purchased the Mahalo ukuleles for my classroom, and I hate them!!! The paint chips, they aren't consistent with how they are made (some stay in tune with no problem, whereas others constantly slip out of tune), and the bridge breaks easily sending strings flying!!! I love the plastic body uke. Will look into that for my classes for next year.
Wow teacher Bernadette đ
đđđđ
Oh god I wish this channel was in India this video was PURRFECT but didn't have any brands common in India
Your videoâs are so useful! I wish I had seen such a video as this one when I decided to learn the ukulele. I have a Makala and I am really satisfied with it but since I have heard from the Flight ukuâs, I think they would have been a better option for me especially because of the zero fret! That is genius, indeed!
This is true ive used friends ukuleles with high fret action of a pencil. It hurt so much to play and I got frustrated đ always do research with instruments! My first uke was $28 and It did it's job with being a beginner uke!
Thank you, Bernadette. This will be great to pass along. The Flight pineapples were a pleasant surprise! How 'bout a ukulele shopping guide for the next levels? you fan, b
I'm new to ur channel n after watching ur videos I'm in love with ukuleles! I have not played music before, except few harmonica lessons!! Now searching for a good budget ukulele, thats available in my region!! Love from India đ. Hopefully i will stick to ur channel to learn playing ukulele, after i can afford one!!
Hey, I'm going to be getting my first uke next month. I have been thinking of getting the kiwi one because of this video and your uke collection video. Would this be a good first uke? I know that that was probably the main point of the video, but I'm stuck between the flight travel uke and the kiwi uke. Which one would you get?
I just ordered ukelele , exited woho
I want all of them
Thank you for helping me to choose.
Wow. I've been looking for a place to buy a ukulele cause I found it interesting to try and I think I'm gonna love it. Thanks for sharing this video now I know what to look for a ukulele. :)
This is so helpful! Would you consider doing one on intermediate priced ukuleles as well? The more it costs the more I am afraid of making a mistake while choosing
Of course! I'm waiting for a ukulele to get to me in the mail to add it to that buying guide :) Expect it the first week of December!
Bernadette Teaches Music oh. Could you also talk about A/E ? For instance what price range might a good one fall into? Also do tone woods still make a difference? Thanks so much for all you do!
This is awsome! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Does it make some sense to save up and target at least $60 for a ukulele, like a Flight? The Flight brand looks really nice. I understand if someone is buying ukuleles in bulk for a classroom, this might not be an option however. Happy Thanksgiving B.
That's a great question! One of my best friends communicated with flight and his classroom's budget for buying a larger number of ukuleles (25 or 26, I believe). The Flight is a really nice budget option that sounds like a classic uke, and for people in Europe, shipping is free. There's a discount code for 10% off if you'd like to use it (discount code: Plazi).
Just keep in mind that this is a budget uke review. I'll be doing a review of ukuleles that are in a higher price range and have more to offer.
It's probably time to do an update as Kmise and Aklot both do pretty good solid wood top ukes with bone bridge and nut with Aquila strings for under US$70 (2020).
Thank you for this video!!
đđđ
You can use bandades on your fingers
Can you do the truth untold by Bts ? Pls
I have that sky blue one but it's caramel colored and to be honest i think mine sounds better than the one you just demo'd. Mine only costs like 11.5-is dollars and that includes a (not joking) high quality padded gig bag, two picks of varying thickness, a cheap and lame strap, a battery powered tuner and an extra pair of strings. I could sy it's more than a steal it's probs already a bargain at that point
Hi! Are you using a pick? This is the review video Iâve been waiting for đ€©
I can admit, these ukuleles are great!
Thank you. But I would prefer to know which one is the best at medium prince range. As I already have some Ukes and love to play everyday I wonder if it's worth spending so more money. ;)
Hey! The medium price range guide is coming soon! I'm waiting for some ukuleles in the mail, so I'll be filming that as soon as those arrive and set in tuning.
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic perfect!

Before this video I was debating which one to get for my first flight ukelele whether it's the travel one which is unique and innovative or the pineapple one which is also unique but has great sound and has that traditional roots but this video finally helped me decide ! I think I'm going with the pineapple đđđ and maybe get the travel uke later hehe
Great video and cute thumbnail :)
Thank you, Victoria!! đ€đ€đ€
Do any of these sell in bulk? As in packs of 10? I need 30 (or possibly more should 1 break... who am I kidding, one WILL break). I'd like to buy them in a bundle but not sure if there is a group that does that. Thank you for the info!
Hi Flo!
One of my music teacher friends purchased 25 Flight travel ukuleles for his classroom and they communicated with him about his budget before buying. I would definitely contact them directly on their company email to work something out!
You are so beautiful and your voice is so pure . đ đ
I have one big question that Iâve not seen any answers on CZcams but what kind of strings are better ? The plastic ones or the Metal i think its what they are made of ? And Happy Thanksgiving đŠđœđ
Christian, I believe this question is up to personal taste. Many ukuleles come with Aquila strings and people like those. I installed some fluorocarbon strings on one of my favorite ukuleles and I'm really enjoying those too. As soon as I learn more about ukulele strings, I'll review them :)
Ukuleles aren't meant to use metal strings. Fluorocarbon is best choice; nylon or nylgut otherwise. Not metal!
Itâs kinda crazy how much better the kiwi is than the souvenir at like, so cheap. đ
Thanks for the tips.
This is great, thank you! I am a beginner, and I bought a Concert size, thinking it would be best for my long fingers. Of course I'm still struggling with some chords, but now I'm wondering if I downsize will it was easier? Or would my fingers get in the way of each other? Hmm...

Good honest advice Teach
Thank you so much for this video B!đđđ
đđđ thank you for being here!
It may be out of context but you are pretty! đž
I realize that it can be intimidating to work on your own instrument, but it's not that hard to file the slots in the nut and the saddle to get that action lowered.
i love color green ukeelele
This is another great video, Ms. B! Iâll be sharing it with âmah lilâ uke group.â As of now, three students do not own their own instruments! I purchased the Flight Travel Uke and LoVe it! I wonder, however, when will the E-string hold itâs tune? Iâve had the uke for 2.5 weeks now and play it every day. Sometimes the E-string goes out of tune while playing it. đ€·đŒââïž
Hi Cherry Tang. I bought the Travel TUS35 toođ
The Travel Flights are amazing. I found a really good deal and used Ms.B's ,PLAZI code for an added discount, so I got twođ A Blue and a elegant Black one. Which color did you get? They sound and feel so good. The reason I'm responding to your comment is because I found the same thing and have had mine three weeks now. The E string would go lower in it's tuning. It's getting better, and one uke stays in tune all the time now. It's my blue ones E string that needs tuning. It's getting longer between tunings so I think more playing time is the factor.
I was wondering too, so I googled it and (I think it was the "ukulele underground" site) that someone said sometimes one can find a bad string made wrong in the factory. They also said some strings may take a month to settle. Yet if we both experienced the same string it just may be the properties of these E string. Thought you may like to know that your not alone in the wonder. Hope it won't be too long before the string settles in. Happy day.
Hi Cherry! đđŒ
Iâm wondering if the tuning gear is a little loose. Check the back and GENTLY tighten the screw A LITTLE BIT. If you donât feel comfortable doing this, a music shop will do it and be done in 2 minutes :)
