To be honest ...Thanks you for another great review. To be honest there's not a great choice here in wood sopranos.I didnt want another Tanglewood, nor a Stagg or a Lag. There's a Flight Teak NUS200 or a Zebrawood DUS322, all older stock (no side dots) and still all laminates at the end of the day. But I noticed one of these Bumblebee's, and although it's aimed at beginners it might fit the bill. True, I was after something other than my TUS35, which is great as a beach uke. I'd kill for a Kala KS.A, a Baton Rouge WS or even the flight pineapple, but we get nothing like that here :( so these reviews really help TBH, and against other more pricey laminates, could the Bee-be a contender in my list.

I'm mildly surprised that Flight have added a new option for a "kids'/beginners'" uke, as it seems to me they have pretty much the perfect instrument for this in their range already: the TUS35. Tough-as-old-boots ABS plastic (mostly); reliable; slotted bridge; colourful; stable; and to boot, they sound and play really well for their price (about the same as the Bumblebee). Is there any reason you'd recommend the BB to a parent over a TUS35 as a first uke?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865503170641058013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-56691037411660292132021-06-27T22:03:31.506+01:002021-06-27T22:03:31.506+01:00Sounds interesting - my thought: given the near-id...Sounds interesting - my thought: given the near-identical price-point, why would someone choose a Bumblebee over a Flight TUS35? I bought my TUS as a uke for the car and to take around with me, but some Living Water strings transformed it, and I now even record with it. The Bumblebee looks OK, but even at the ultra-budget end, there is quite some competition these days!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865503170641058013noreply@blogger.com
