Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite bad. The e-string just won't stay in tune more than a minute without dropping at least a half note in pitch, and after a few hours, several notes. I thought maybe the teeth on the gear tuner might be be bad, but doesn't seem to be the case. Too bad, I was hoping for something that would do for a travel uke. A litle disapponted with the gig bag, which evidently switched from a little nicer/heavier beige bag, to a blue one that looks like it was made out of windbreaker material. Aw well, for $60 I shouldn't expect too much.
They are geared pegs - adjusting the screws does nothing other than holding the tuner together. If a gear is turning with tension it is simply defective. Nothing more.
Sorry to revive an older thread, but since the Flight brand seems to be all over the place lately, I have started to wonder if anybody knows where these are actually made? The homepage says that the company is located in Slovenia, but are their instruments made in Slovenia, or bulk ordered to the company's specs from China?
The company is based in Slovenia (I know the owners well) and all their instruments are made in China. They use various lines and are careful which factories they use. I think they actually get supplied by three different Chinese factories. Some do indeed share their production with other brands - that's incredibly common. There are far more brands out there than factories!
