I recently got a concert Flea as part of a sale/trade deal, and I totally dig this uke! Friday I had a gig for Cycle Oregon (huge, long, annual bike tour through Oregon...a couple thousand bicyclists).
They are totally organized and have music at every rest stop, lunch break, and full stage at night with several performers. Way cool.
This year I had the 8:30am rest stop, 42 degrees (one of the coldest mornings in this HOT summer we've experienced). 42 degrees to start ... about 65 and sunny 3 hours later...me playing for the duration.
My 70's Yamaha laminate FG guitar held it's tune, and the Flea did as well (didn't have to re-tune either, which blew me away, given the changing temps). I had several see the Flea and ask about it...in an admiring way. I was totally impressed with how it held its own in cold temps, and sounded great! Played an extra hour for them as it is one of the funnest gigs I've ever done.
Buy a Flea. You'll be glad you did.
