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 😊🎼
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 👍
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!
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.
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.
Would love to hear this Sammy I did ask southern store how it would sound if it had traditional strings on, in the end I picked up the Aurora not disappointed thanks for the review also on that ukulele also😊
Heya Jason - from what I believe is that this kid has some extra reinforcement inside the body, as all the Flight baritones come with a truss rod, however it’s impossible to tell really without asking the main man himself!
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.
