Thanks for all the interesting reviews. ...Hi Barry. Thanks for all the interesting reviews. All my current ukes have a review by you. I really enjoy watching your videos on them, some I have watched more thane once and even twice. <br /><br />Even if my Flea (concert, rosewood fretboard) is my least preferred uke I do have love for it, and I cant imagine selling it, though I might give it to some one who deserves it one day. I have a problem with the tone if it has Aquila string, it makes something within my ear ring/buzz (literatelly). But with Worth strings I think its great. Also on my instrument the A and G string tend to roll over the edge of the fretboard if I'm playing something delegate as John King arrangements. But if I'm travelling it's my most preferred instrument.

It must be my individual flea. It is effected by the temperature in my house and is almost impossible to keep in tune. I also found the lack of demarkcation of the frets very difficult to deal with and the wider neck is an adjustment as well. My 38 dollar dolphin sounds much better, richer and nicer than my flea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-62734414773873503502013-03-25T07:16:02.152+00:002013-03-25T07:16:02.152+00:00I have a Flea.its brilliant,lovely tone and great ...I have a Flea.its brilliant,lovely tone and great playability with its slightly wider fingerboard,they are amongst some of the finest soprano Ukes on the market and they dont break the bank to buy one..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-69037345641964937992013-02-14T12:13:11.793+00:002013-02-14T12:13:11.793+00:00Thanks for the review, I love my flea.

Like wider neck for fat fingers. Aquilas string are the way to go, no Hilo for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
