Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” Carbon Fiber – Waterproof Travel Ukulele for Beginners & Adult, Lightweight Durable Body with Beginner Kit (Case, Strap, Capo, Strings)

It has been the biggest surprise that many people have found love with the Enya Concert Travel Ukulele a.k.a. the Nova U, a carbon fiber ukulele. For one, where many travel ukulele are soprano, Enya released a travel ukulele available in numerous colors but also, extra swag, gig bag and a marketing campaign which has many of the top ukulele YouTubers showcasing it on their channel. Now, as one who is learning to play ukulele, the idea of a travel concert ukulele is quite exciting. So, let’s begin with talking about Enya, the first thing one may see is the logo and its similarities to the singer enya. The type-face is totally different and there is no relation to the singer. Enya is based in China and while many ukulele’s from major brands are made in China, and known as Enya music, unlike other Chinese brands, this company is about quality, affordability and also making sure those who are wanting to learn the ukulele, you get treated with a lot of cool swag and a gig bag but most importantly, the company is known for listening to its customers and improving their product. The company includes with the travel uke and gig bag, a strap, a capo and backup fluorocarbon strings. A tuner is not included. And I know some people may look at the front and think this ukulele will be difficult to tune because of the Enya logo on the front. But this is not the case, because there is a sound hole, but it’s located on the side of the body. The version I got was black is made of 30% carbon fiber & polycarbonate. The finish is Satin but I will have to say, and it’s something I expected before I ordered this (that’s why I went back and forth of going black or white), but I love black too much and it’s a travel guitar, I expect to get fingerprints on this travel uke. The size is 23″ concert, which is the next step up in size after a soprano and before a tenor. The strings are Enya Fluorocarbon. I absolutely love the gold tuners on black. Oh, and it’s important to emphasize that these tuners kept their tune and probably had to adjust the tuners every half hour or so, as opposed to several minutes like some inexpensive ukes from China. One thing you’ll notice with those playing black Enya Concert Travel Ukulele Nova U – 23’’ Carbon Fiber are the fingerprints. So, if you can’t stand to see fingerprints, black may not be for you. And as I was playing the Enya Concert Travel Ukulele Nova U – 23’’ Carbon Fiber, I was impressed with it. Not just with the sound, how it retained its tuned sound, but also overall presentation from Enya and what it comes with. It’s actually quite awesome and while the sound is different from a wooden ukulele, not by a whole lot. The Nova U sounds absolutely awesome! In fact, you can see a few cool YouTubers performing with it: It’s important to note that Enya also offers a pickup, a DOUBLE AcousticPlus which is about double the price for those who want an electric version of this travel concert ukulele. Note: An Enya Concert Ukulele Nova U is under $90 US. So, for the most part, this is an awesome travel uke! I absolutely love it! But there would be a few things that would have made it perfect… Colored Frets – The Nova U needs colored frets, not all black. You can feel it, but you can’t really see them unless you are in the light. Fret Dots – For beginners, having fret dots on the side for beginners. Great to see Fret Markers on the Fret Board, but this would be popular for schools because the uke is durable, but if it had the fret dots, I can see these being purchased by music teachers for their classes. Tuner – Enya offers a tuner for many of their products, but not the Nova U. In fact, I think the set would benefit with the tuner more than the capo itself. But overall, this is an fantastic travel concert ukulele from Enya. If you are in the market for a travel ukulele or a uke to keep in the car or to play at home, definitely give the Enya Concert Ukulele Nova U 23’’ Carbon Fiber Travel Ukulele a try!

As someone who's been playing the ukulele for many years I'm highly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this uke. I bought it in pink and it is truly outstanding. The sound is vibrant, the action isn't too high, the tuning pegs stay in place throughout a session, the sound hole design is peak, and the material is wonderful! It's not a cheap plastic so it doesn't muffle the sound at all. This uke is also very lightweight and comes with a hard case for easy transport and storage. All around beautiful instrument and fun to play! I'd highly recommend! You can't beat a quality instrument at such an affordable price!

I seriously love this ukulele! I’m new to the uke but have experience with acoustic guitar, and I was honestly surprised by how easy it was to tune — zero hassle. The moment I unboxed it, I was blown away by the quality. It totally exceeded my expectations. This thing is straight-up badass!!!! Everything — from the uke itself to the accessories — feels super high-quality right out of the box. The packaging was secure and protective, and the sleek black finish? Total rockstar energy. The padded case is soft, snug, and a great touch if you’re taking it on the go. But let’s talk sound — it’s seriously impressive. The tone is cozy, full and clear, with a nice resonance that’s surprising for something in this price range. It projects well without sounding harsh + it holds tuning like a champ. It also feels great to play — no finger pain, which is a huge plus for beginners. The included app with tuning help and lessons is also super user-friendly, especially if you're just starting out. If you're on the fence — don’t be. Whether you're a beginner or just adding to your collection, this ukulele delivers on all fronts. I'm honestly blown away.

Love it Sounds bright. Cannot believe its not wood. Completely man made product. Confident of its durability and quality. No bending wood, bracing theories and glue. Monolithic...probably scratchproof.

My daughter wanted a ukulele for Christmas I found the Enya soprano and concert ukulele. I watched some online reviews and read some reviews here too and decided to try it. They looked cool a bit rock and roll. I bought the soprano for her and concert for me. I only have guitars and for teaching I figured it would be better if I had the same instrument as her so she could watch my hands while learning since the chords are different. Best decision ever. They are beautiful and hardy instruments. The case the concert comes in is a “softish” hard shell case. The soprano has a soft case but has a zipper for extra strings or something small that the case for the concert does not. As a reminder, if you are not already a string player, you will need to tune a new instrument often during an initial breaking in period. The more you play and tune the instruments the better they will hold a tune in the long run. Nylon strings take a little longer to break in than regular guitar strings. It’s been a week now with daily playing and tuning and the strings are almost broken in. Overall both instruments sound fantastic and feel great under my fingers. My 8 year old is having a blast looking cool and playing songs. She said it looks “rock and roll” I was worried about the all black frets for my daughter but she has taken to them just fine and it’s not been a problem. I’m also glad I went with the Enya since they are not wood and the polycarbonate will do great on camping trips in all weather. TLDR: music teacher approved, they look beautiful and sound great. Case and strap are perfect. And I highly recommend the book that is in my picture if you Have younger kids. I found the book on Amazon.

this comes with everything you need, is stunning, easy to play, sounds great, definitely beginner friendly.

4弦をサバレスのLowGに変えたらそれなりの音色になりました。見た目にもシルバーのラインが入っていい感じです。この楽器はなんか安定感があってよく手にします。

I ordered a pink electric one back in June 2022, but very disappointingly I received an orange one. It came from the States and there was no response to my complaints or pleading for a change, so I just had to thank goodness it wasn’t black or grey. I’ve loved playing it, more than all of my other much more expensive ukuleles, but i’ve still hankered after a pink one. Well I might be greedy, but I now have this beautiful pink one, not electric, but fabulous, light weight, easy to play, sounds fabulous. My health is not too good, and apart from the fact this pink one is my absolute favourite and the orange one secondly, it’s so much easier to just leave them hanging around, no worries about packing them away in their cases to protect them from dogs and cats, or spilt drinks. I love them both, but more especially my new pink one.

Ho regalato questo ukulele Enya Nova U soprano in carbonio a un amico musicista e l'ho visto illuminarsi alla vista dello strumento. È stato un regalo riuscito: elegante, leggero e resistente grazie al carbonio. Da musicista l’ha subito apprezzato: il suono è brillante, stabile e mantiene l'accordatura anche nel tempo, proprio come molti utenti hanno evidenziato nei commenti. Il manico sottile e la tensione delle corde lo rendono molto confortevole da suonare, perfetto sia per lo studio sia per performance informali. In più gli accessori inclusi (borsa, tracolla, capotasto e corde di ricambio) lo rendono pronto all’uso fin da subito, un vero kit completo . Insomma, un’ottima scelta: un ukulele di qualità, ideale per chi vuole uno strumento pratico, bello da suonare e da regalare. Consigliatissimo!

Ordered the concert after watching pretty much all the online review videos. Ordered soprano after a while due to fomo, and thought I ll decide after trying out both. First of all, the ukulele looks bomb ( I got in black ). Second, the sound is pretty great for the money , and that doesn't it sounds cheap or anything, it's sound great and full especially in the concert. In my opinion,the concert sounded quite better and fuller ( more guitary, hollow, and dynamic ) than the soprano ( sounded like a plastic ukulele, more flatter sound). Returned the soprano within 5 minutes of trying both out. The size difference between the both is at most 2 or 2.5 inches ( length wise , width wise hardly any difference). I had the hardest time deciding which one to get before deciding to just try them both. If you can do the same. Otherwise hope my experience helps you decide. Just to be clear, the concert was a sure pick over the soprano for me.

Excelente eu amei apesar de não ser elétrico atendeu muito minhas expectativas
