What I use: Flight Maia steel stringed baritone ukulele 

WOW! Just when you think you don't need another use... they pull me back in.

I have an amazing 59 year old Gianni baraton ukulele made in Brazil and it plays like heaven

I'll be one of the first owners when this instrument is available in my country. A great travel instrument.

Great review! My tenor guitars, even my Ibanez parlour tenor guitar are bigger in body than even my long body steel string baritone, and my other tenor guitars are a full O size guitars. The Flight Maia is a gorgeous looking baritone and sounds fab. I’d love to get my hands on one to compare it to my Pono. Thanks for a great video 😊🎼

Thanks, Sammy. Great review. I love the sound of both the Aurora and the Maia. They are so different - wonder if I could justify owning them both 😻

Such an unreal sounding ukulele. There's something very familiar but also very different about it. Excited to know that it's going to show up a little more here before going back!

Both sound beautiful Sammy but if I were to get one I would prefer the aurora. Unsure about the squeaky steel strings as you were fretting but hey that's subjective. Still a 👍

You had me at moody mango with a racing stripe. AND triangular fret markers! 🤩Sounds fantastic, too. Thank you for the review, Sammy!

Hello Sammy, thanks for your thoughts about the new Steel-String Baritone from Flight. Like the Name Maia and how it Sounds - has its own Charakter. I like the Baritone Aurora with the flurocarbon strings too. These Ukes are both really a bargain - the Prize is unbelievable too. All the best to you and thumbs up for this interesting Video.

I used to have a Kala tenor guitar but I was never really comfortable with the narrow neck(I have the same problem with guitars with narrow necks) so this is right up my street.

Hey Sammy, nice review! This instrument seems to have a lot of potential, but a learning curve to go with it. A lot of string squeak, but harmonics are totally awesome! Not your everyday baritone ukulele. Take that baby out on the race track and push it to it's limits. I know you'll see what it's capable of. Be well, my friend!

Lovely review of a lovely uke. Nice playing as always buddy.....

Sounds really good!

Great review Sammy!!!

I’m curious if you can tune it in fifths (CGDA or GDAE) like a tenor guitar… then you’d essentially have a very comfortable playable mandolin for Irish or bluegrass music

Okay, now I want one. I've been looking at tenor guitars, but the neck is too narrow. I have an Ohana solid mahogany baritone ukulele that I love but would like to have this steel string baritone by Flight, I know all Flight ukuleles are great.

have you tried d'addario titanium uku strings? its not the literal metal its a seperat material but as of now there my favorites!

Can you share details on the thumb pick you are using? Very intrigued by it

I wondered by the title if you can take it onboard while flying :)

I have Flight Fireball, initially with steel strings. But - it is difficult to find scores for baritone.. 😢. So I stringed bariton high G strings fluocarbon.. I am pity of that, I like more steel string sound, and do not want to go to guitar.. did you anybody meet this problem? thank you for video.

That's mighty pretty......

Your playing style gives me James Taylor vibes.

basically sounds more like a guitar to me.

Pro tip: pure steel strings means you can also add a pickup and even a rubber bridge to this!

In the final comparison segment... Hard to tell if it's the strings or just the tone wood making the difference.

Hi Sammy, the construction looks much the same as the fireball Baritone and both have a truss rod. Could these strings not be fitted to the fireball?

The Maia sounds great! can you tell me what brand of strings are on the Maia?

How can I buy one?

Hey brother, how can I pm you? …. I’ve an idea that’ll probably be insignificant to you, but possibly not …. 😏. …. anyways, I hope you and yours are well and happy.
