My dream ukulele for years was a flea ukulele. When I first started it was out of my price range and now that I could probably afford it, I’m on the wrong continent. That is one of the reasons I jumped on getting a flight travel. I had my soprano for 2 days before I also ordered the concert. I love both and play them way more than my more expensive ukuleles probably because I can just leave them sitting around. It’s very good to see that at least in sound, I’m not missing out. I would still love a flea someday but for now I’m thrilled with my flights :)
I’m a massive supporter of fluorocarbon strings; they do help the Flight travel models, in my opinion. But the Flea is still the better instrument, and better be for a $200 (or more) additional price tag. I’m fortunate to own both models. I have a TUSL and TUC here at home these days and no longer have a TUS; I just didn’t need it.
My first uke I bought was a Flea and I love and still play it every day. I buy a Flight TUS35 for my grandkids when they turn 3. I love them both. I only paid $130 for the Flea.
They both seem like viable and compelling options. I enjoyed watching. 😊
Thanks!
Wow. I barely hear a difference. Thanks for the comparison. I'd love to hear the same comparison with same strings. :)
Someday! I've just been so busy that I haven't had a chance to edit or publish videos I recorded some time ago!

I’m also curious how you will feel with different strings. My flights have worth clears and they massively improved the sound on both sizes.

That was VERY helpful! TY for doing this!
You are so welcome!

$130 for the Flea is a great price!
the fluke is more mellow than the flea. that would be a better comparison, flight vs flea.
I don’t have a flea available to compare…if you have one and want to send it to me for a while…let me know.
