Anyone seen one of these? Looks to be all polycarbonate, with some other changes.
I had the same thought! The Southern Ukulele Store did a video featuring the Flight UTS-35 Ultra Travel Ukulele and the Enya Nova U Concert. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but close. To hear sound samples side by side, go to 2:39 and 5:20.Now I would like to hear how it compares to the Enya Nova Uke, especially the Soprano. Anyone here owning both?
I just called a Canadian retailer as I live in Canada, and they told me they‘re not available in North America at the moment but they‘re working on it. Too bad because I‘m dead curious about them, but the only place I see them for sale outside of North America (Southern Ukulele Store in UK) charges 69 pounds sterling to ship to my location.Has the flight ultra travel ukulele arrived in U.S stores yet? I've been looking for one and still can't find them. Plenty of the previous model but not this latest iteration.
With taxes and shipping I'd end up paying about 2x as much msrp. I'll wait for them to hit the big river store or sigh do without.I just called a Canadian retailer as I live in Canada, and they told me they‘re not available in North America at the moment but they‘re working on it.

That does sound like a bit of a brick...Did you see Baz's review? 600 gm! what a chubbo! Thomann music has some in stock, but also ships from Europe.
Come to think of it...that's a lot of plastic. Wonder if it's recyclable...That does sound like a bit of a brick...
Flight is a European company and only a fraction of their product line seems to make it to the US distributors. The Flight ultra travel series doesn't seem to be a big upgrade from the older Flight TUS/TUSL/TUC models which are still widely available in the USA. Personally, I would go for the soprano models which are much lighter weight than the concert models. The plastic Enyas are good too with similar price and sound quality.Is this a case of failure to launch? Over 6 months later there seem to be more reviews than retailers with it in stock.
Good quality wood sounds better, but in the $50 price range, plastic can sound just as good as well as being more durable and weather resistant....and wood definitely sounds better.
