- 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).

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.

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.
Luisa......Thank you for doing the TIME STAMPS!!!...........Cole.....Thank you for your creative music.....HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE😍😍😍❤️
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, GERALYN!! ❤️❤️❤️
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!
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. That’s 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. It’s 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.
I've followed you for over 5 its nice to see your continued love of the Uke, thank you so mucho and mahalo.
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!
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 already bought my ukulele. I'm just here to watch for no reason.
You are still welcomed and appreciated here!! 🤗🤗
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic 😍
Happy Thanks Giving Ms. B And Happy 71k Subscribers!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!
This video helped me sooo much!!! Thank you❤️❤️ I ended up purchasing the flight ukulele and I love it!!!!! Sooo happy with it!
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!
I'm far from beginner but also a bad teacher, so I chow your video to my kids 😊
Thanks for a very good and helpfull video ❤
Thank you very much for your video! I am buying my daughter her first proper ukulele for her 10th birthday (she’s wanted one for about a year and now playing at school). Also, we did buy a cheap one from the toy shop but obviously didn’t 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 🥰 I’m very grateful
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 ❤️❤️
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 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.
Okay so, my first ukulele was reeeeaaally bad (it only cost 20€) 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?
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!
I have both Flight ukuleles and couldn't be happier 🙌🏼 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?
Your video’s 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 uku’s, I think they would have been a better option for me especially because of the zero fret! That is genius, indeed!
Wow great video Mrs. B! Definitely will use this video when I purchase my next ukulele. Thanks❤, and happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Alondra! Thank you so much.
I'll be releasing a video about middle range ukuleles too ;)
I really love your channel Bernadette. Really useful videos and beautifully explained. x
Thank you, Steve! I really appreciate that! 💛
Thank you for this very helpful and informative video Ms. B! We have those ukuleles in your "not recommended" list. 😱😰. 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!!! 🎼🎵🎶😁😁😁
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!
Este video es de gran ayuda ... gracias!!
Happy thanksgiving too!!
Gracias a ti, Brandon! Que tengas bonito dia!
I love that you always try to get back to your viewers ❤! I hope you are have a awesome Thanksgiving 😊
Aww thank you :)
Happy Thanksgiving!!
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. :)
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.
Nice of Luisa to do all that with the time codes. It makes it very nice. Thank you.
I had never thought of getting a ukulele before, but the one i purchased also from amazon was the everjoys ukulele it came with a tuner, gig bag, extra strings and a lil book and picks.
am i the only one loving the sparkle on your eyes in this vid?
Ikr it looks beautiful
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 💜. Hopefully i will stick to ur channel to learn playing ukulele, after i can afford one!!
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?
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! 😂😂
😂😂😂 that is pretty funny! While you were binge watching, I was editing!
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....
LOL you liked the Flight pineapple so much you couldn't resist singing with it.
I can admit, these ukuleles are great!
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 :)
Wow, this was really educational “Coach”!!! I was planning to buy one of those cheap Uke’s....But thought putting good strings would make it OK🤔🤔🤔. *That “Zero nut” is interesting......Never heard of that......Looks like a nut......What’s 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 “Coach”. 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! ❤️🤗
This is just what I needed, thank you!💜
Thank you too, Madison!! ❤️❤️❤️
Your not a music teacher your a beautiful music teacher ❤️
Thank you for helping me to choose.
This is true ive used friends ukuleles with high fret action of a pencil. It hurt so much to play and I got frustrated 😅 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
Hi! Are you using a pick? This is the review video I’ve been waiting for 🤩
Hi! I absolutely loved this video. so informative and it's so cute how excited you get about a good cost worthy uke haha! I ordered a Makala Shark Grey Concert Ukulele for 87AUD! Do you reckon that's a good uke and worth the price? I'm definitely going to invest in a Flight Ukulele once I learn to play this well
I wanted a new ukulele for Christmas so this video came on time!!😄
Thank you so mush miss B ly❤❤❤
Hi 👋🏼
Glad you like it! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic thank you so mush hope you'll have a wonderful Christmas to ❤🎄

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?
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 🌞👌😁 and maybe get the travel uke later hehe
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. :) 👏👏👏👏
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!
Nice job on your ukulele Guide Bernadette Teaches!!!!!!!))) Happy Thanksgiving !!!))) 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving, Steve!!
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.
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
Thank you so much for this video B!😊💓😄
😘😘😘 thank you for being here!
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).
I did not skip the ad. Hehe. Pretty as always Bernadette ☺️. 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
Aww, thank you so much!
Yes, there's a video for that!
It's the second video in this playlist :)
ua-cam.com/video/d4TkFn5jz-A/v-deo.html
This is awsome! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
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.
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...
Hola Bernardette hoy 22 de noviembre en México se celebra el día del músico. Muchas Felicidades ❤️
Hola Luz! No sabía :)
Felicidades a ti también! ❤️
I just ordered ukelele , exited woho
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!!!
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).
You are so beautiful and your voice is so pure . 🌅😊
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!! Great subject
:)
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!
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, that’s a very popular brand! Thank you for letting us know!! 😉😉
Your videos are so good.
Thank you so much 🤗🤗
Thanks for the tips.
Good honest advice Teach
Just wondering if you can comment on how the distance between strings might influence a beginner's choice of a ukulele. I have a Donner soprano ukulele where the distance from G to A is 29 mm. The Enya Nova U is a (bigger) concert uke but has a G-to-A distance of 25 mm. That's quite a difference. Do you have any recommendations about distance between uke strings for a beginner trying to learn the uke?
Hiiii I’m planning on getting a Córdoba 15CM ukulele, is this a good one?
I wish I had seen this before i bought mine. It’s not bad but i’ve noticed that sone of my strings aren’t as high as they were when i first got it and i’m a ittle worried that will affect my sound. But ill know where to go when this one give up the ghost.
I’m wondering how the flights compare to the Enya-X1? I’m in Canada, and it seems they cost much more here.
Thank you for this video!!
😘😘😘
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.
Hello! I just orderd the tanglewood twt 3 tiar ukulele in soprano ,is it good ?
Plastic Ukuleles were actually pretty popular in the 1950s, the famed Mario Maccaferri (who designed Django Reinhardt’s guitar) sold millions of completely plastic ukuleles. They sound suprisingly good too!
banjo playing bison
In the 50’s they thought that plastic would be the “future” material because it’s supposedly indestructible and goes for centuries. So with that in mind, everything plastic sold nicely in the 50’s.
Could you please do a review for the ohuhu concert ukulele?
It’s kinda crazy how much better the kiwi is than the souvenir at like, so cheap. 😁
Hi ms bernadette i just bought a harley benton concert ukelele is that a good brand
So what would be equal to the flight NUP310 pineapple in quality ?
I’m getting my first uke in a few days and it’s a flight concert
Flight is Always a good Option. Hope you nailed it😉
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. ❤️❤️
Thank you for always noticing
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Oh. That's what it was.
Good job Ms. B :)
Thank you :)
What are names of those two songs used for demonstration?
This is another great video, Ms. B! I’ll be sharing it with “mah lil’ uke group.” 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 it’s tune? I’ve had the uke for 2.5 weeks now and play it every day. Sometimes the E-string goes out of tune while playing it. 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Cherry Tang. I bought the Travel TUS35 too😎
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 two🙌 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! 👋🏼
I’m wondering if the tuning gear is a little loose. Check the back and GENTLY tighten the screw A LITTLE BIT. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, a music shop will do it and be done in 2 minutes :)
Oh god I wish this channel was in India this video was PURRFECT but didn't have any brands common in India
I’m looking for a beginner ukulele for my little brother (age seven). Is it possible to get a good quality uke for about $75 dollars? What would you recommend? Are there any other ukes that would be good for a beginner that are not in this video?
Search here for (My Favorite Time Of Year (Christmas) by Love Acoustic Style). Singer song writer Jose Anes. Also search for (Sucker For a Pretty Face) by Rockcandy. It's a great 80s album! Also search for (Sinful Demo Album 1985) it features Jose Anes B4 Rockcandy and Nuno Bettencourt B4 Extreme!!!! Enjoy and Merry Christmas
I bought the flight travel for my granddaughter on your recommendation because of zero fret low action and tone. I'm surprised and disappointed to note that despite the low action the A string plays sharp when pressed on the uppermost frets so much that I have to tune this string flat on open string to play a chord . Is it a bad string , a bad ukelele or something else ?
Great info!
Glad you like it, Laural!! ❤️
My mum said she will get me an Ukulele Concert Size By Lohanu is that Ukulele good? (£55)
What is the best brand for a ukulele
How often should you change ukulele strings???
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!
Thank you i made my mind and i'm getting my first ukulele and its the flight pineapple uke
Hope you love it!
You can use bandades on your fingers
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
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 ❤️❤️
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I'll take your word for it. You seem to know value. God bless you. Happy Thanksgiving from Texas 👍
