Sorry, but am I missing something?
I will rephrase that. What am I missing because for the life of me I can’t see it?
I am referring to the difference between an ordinary Flea Uke and a solid $1000 Uke.
Before the arguments start - and it is not my intention to start one anyway, I will explain just what I mean.
I have owned and played (although I am not or ever will be anything more than a fun player - as in non pro or anything like a pro) quite a few really good Uke’s now in the price range I mentioned above. Yet, I have not found any of them with as good an action as a Flea, or sound that much better.
Sound, like everything else is subjective to the person listening. And I am not suggesting for one minute that a Kanelia for example is not as good as a Flea. What I am saying is that to me, it is not that much better purely because I like the sound of a Flea, so much so that I judge everything else by that standard.
Am I wrong, or am I missing something?
Then as I mentioned, the playability of a Flea. I have yet to find anything better in this regard. I have a Kiwaya that equals a Flea in this area, and would be interested to know if there is any other makes out there with the same action.
So in short, I am a huge fan of the Flea. If I were to criticize anything about it, that would be the cost because it is a little too high. Then again, it isn’t if I stick to what I already said, and that it to me it equals Uke’s double the price.
