I'm looking for a new addition and this is on my list so pleased with this you've really helped!!
I am really taken with it, what a nice affordable entry level pineapple Soprano. I do have a bigger problem than you with the sound hole decoration though, my preference would be to remove the fish and reduce the diameter by roughly half.
Thanks so much for another excellent review Barry! I look forward to your upcoming review every week!
Flight has done it again, this should be a good seller.
Yeah - deserves to sell well.
I picked one of these up after watching this. Agree with everything here, though I DO like the soundhole design. Trouble is now I'm totally sold on the pineapple shape and can't help thinking my other ukes look like mini guitars by comparison. And because this is the cheap end of the pineapple stakes this can only end badly :-) $$$$$
I really like that decoration. Very striking and not overdone.
OK. I watched pretty much all your videos. First ukelele ever has now been selected. Thank you!
Great job!
Hey Barry, would you rather pick up this one or one of the plastic ones from the Travel series? I'm leaning towards this one. Thanks!
Impossible to compare really - they are built completely differently. I liked both
after a year of having this ukulele its color turned dark and its sound is less strident and sweeter 💚💚💚
Interesting!
I can always tell when. A good score is coming when you play an extra song or two because you want to hear the instrument in a few different play styles.
Probably true that!
I totally LOVE your blunt honesty ! I'm a pineapple sucker too, and I think I have watched all the possible videos about them, lol. I now think the only way to cure my "ukulele acquisition syndrome" is to buy a Kamaka, ha ha !
The Kamaka is the ultimate original!
Wanted this one but got the standard soprano instead because it was sold out.. I am really happy with it though and glad to hear that you like the flight ukes. Makes me feel confident about picking this to start playing.
Cool!
I would appreciate knowing, is the Flight NUS 310 - traditional soprano in black, as good quality
as the Flight NUS310 pineapple?
I have the pineapple. Love it.
I want to buy an economy soprano ukulele in black.
Will be same quality but sound will be different on account of body shape. Pineapples have more mid range tone
@@GotAUkulele thanks
Hi Barry, this NUP310 or the NUC310? Who has the better sound?
I can't answer that fairly as never played the NUC310!
@@GotAUkulele ok ty for answer
Hi, I really like your video's.
I have a question. For a beginner is it better to buy this ukulele (soprano), or the flight nuc 310? (A concert size). Or which one do you like the most.
And can you learn how to play a ukulele without any lessons, just from UA-cam video's?
Thanks a lot.
Honestly depends on what is most comfortable and I cannot answer that. I have played for 15 years and mainly play soprano and tenor - which tells you how difficult the choice is. They are ALL ukuleles though and all relevant.
Lessons will ALWAYS help though.
@@GotAUkulele thanks for your honest answer
I wonder if the pegs could be changed for friction ones...
Don't see why not
@@GotAUkulele I'll try, I'll let you know about my win/fail 😅
Thank you. I really like the design. I've seen ukuleles in photos with space alien heads but those look really angry to me.
Hi. A little question. What model of pegs would you buy for this ukulele? That they could be fair with what they cost but that they are not horribly bad... Regards
I always use Grover 4's or Grover 6's
@@GotAUkulele thanks you so much 💚
Sound better than nus310? I watched your review.. 👏👏
I think so - the NUS is more of a bark - pineapples tend to round out the mids more due to the body shape. A more complex tone I think.
What was the video you did with the odd-looking ukulele. I think it was blue, parts of the strings were not over the neck nd it had almost like two crescent -shaped parts facing each other? I think it was foreign made but I could be wrong on that. I've been looking for the video but haven't found it yet.
Antica Ukuleleria UFOS?
I bought one today, a super little thing, and a bargain at £38! It plays nice and intonation is good too. I may change the tuners to pegs, but for decent ones they may cost more than the uke itself :)
Nice one!
Do you buy these or do you get these for free?? Really cool video btw!
Some review instruments I buy but none of the others are free. They are loaned to the site and then get sent back.
@@GotAUkulele Ahh I see! Thankyou for reviewing these for us btw! Its very helpful :)
My pleasure!
Much nicer Uke than an overdone Luna. Good review!
Cheaper too! Luna are horribly over priced
I can't seem to find this uke anywhere right now. What is another pineapple ukulele you recommend for ~$100?
At that price, can't think of any i'd truly recommend.
@@GotAUkulele Are there brands you could recommend in general for this kind of uke? I am willing to spend more for a good sounding one.
@@IAMJRAD Pineapples? The only brand that springs to mind is Ohana, but you would need to spend far more than $100 for a good one. Sorry - not played a lot of cheap pineapple ukes
@@GotAUkulele no worries, I was actually able to order one online luckily. I guess right now their supply chain is pretty off due to COVID. Coming from the netherlands over to the US $100 total
@@IAMJRAD are u satisfied with this pineapple? :)
Ohana SK-10S or Flight NUP310?
Thank you for the video, amazing as always S2
Flight for me
I am 12 and I have been studying ukelele, not only how to play, but it’s origins. I do not yet have a use of my own but I only need 10 more US dollars until I have enough for this one.
Good first choice!
@@Judy_R I sure did! Thanks for asking!
I don't know which one to choose between this, the Flight nus200 and the mahimahi7g.
I'm afraid I can't help. Never played a MahiMahi.
Sweet sound!
You talked me into it LOL, just ordered one....
I found this uke for 25 euros should I go for it?
Sounds like a total bargain. What is there to lose?
@@GotAUkulele A week's salary xD
I think you have accidentally deleted the link to the written review from the description
Oops - yes, don't know how I did that - fixed now. Thanks for alerting me David!
Got one just like it, had it for 10 years.
Robert all. Dawson didn’t know they’d been available that long
I really love flight ukes. My local music store doesn't have a big uke selection, and mostly carry Kala, but recently got a bunch of Flights in. Since then most of my students that have asked me to accompany them there to buy a uke have ended up with a flight. They always seem to have pretty good setup and good playability, especially for the price. I also haven't come across any serious intonation issues with any of their instruments. And then on top of that they come with a free gig bag which just puts them over the top.
Agreed on all counts. They are not high end, but far from the usual junk either. Always been reliable in what I have seen and a better price than usual suspects.
Question: I just got mine today and I LOVE it!! Sounds great, easy on the fingers, fun to play. My question is can I put a strap button on this? I was watching your video on how to do it but I'm not quite sure whether this ukulele would be ok to put one on. Appreciate your thoughts!
You'd have to check inside to see if there is a tail block - but if there is, no problem
Great review, Barry! So many nice affordable ukes out these days! Cheery sounding!
There’s a lot of affordable ukes about Chuck but still only a small number that do it well. This is one of them
#ditchthefish! Haha! A fab impartial review as per usual!
Cheers lovely!
Could you drill a strap button into this uke?
You would need to check with Flight if there is a tail block. Sorry, this was with me on loan and long since sent back so I can’t check
@@GotAUkulele no worries, appreciate the reply!
What’s the link for it?
Princess Shakuku the link for what?
GotAUkulele
The ukulele that you are reviewing 🙃
Princess Shakuku link in the video description above?

Okay. Thanks! 😝
I Got a flight ukulele from a store. It is not in tune down the neck. I wrote them and no response. Don't spend your money on something that looks nice but is a polished turd!
I would be questioning the store not the brand. What you describe is an issue with intonation and is easily fixed (10 minute job) by a dealer. In an ideal world every uke would have perfect setup from the factory, but transportation can throw them out. I've seen $1000 ukes with intonation needing a setup by a dealer - can happen to any ukulele. So my message - don't spend your money in a store that doesn't check them over.
