It is difficult to get a flea ukulele in the UK, but we have managed to source some of these great, interesting, American made ukuleles. This is the soprano scale length flea ukulele, in natural finish. The flea ukulele has a birch top, and very unusually, a bowled, moulded plastic back. If that wasn't strange enough, this Magic Fluke Flea ukulele has a polycarbonate fingerboard and frets.

The flea ukulele has grover tuners and is fitted with Aquila strings. Tuning is very stable, and if they ever do slacken off, you can tighten the pegs easily yourself with a screwdriver. The intonation is fantastic on the flea ukulele. The use of a man made material for the fretboard and frets seems unusual, but given the precision it offers over natural materials - it actually makes sense. These ukuleles are reliable instruments - the manufacturer offers a 3 year warranty.

The tone of the flea ukulele is very nice, it has reasonable sustain, a nice balance between brightness and warmth and plenty of volume if you need it. Everything about the ukulele is well made and well finished.
