Mine finally arrived. I like it! I'm sort of shocked at how loud it is, and the sustain ain't half bad. Also surprised at how solid it feels. And you'll be happy to know they apparently come with strap buttons and a shoulder strap on the case now, along with a much-improved zipper.

I had asked about the strap button and side sound hole, and was told that they had structural issues with them on the soprano and then chose not to use them; however, a slight redesign is coming soon which will have strap buttons.

Your comments are always go to first for me. Thank you. I purchased this ukelele after listening to you playing it and your review. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for all the hard work, information and knowledge you share with us all

I just ordered mine, and I am so grateful to have found this ukulele, and for your review. Thank you :)

I picked one of these up they are now 49 usd normal price on Amazon. New ones have startup buttons. The intonation is shockingly good, my only complaint is that the nut is too high for my taste it makes it tiring to play. I don't mind the stock fluoro carbons. The string spacing is a bit on the narrow side for me.

Here I am three years later with a comment. I got mine at a good (US) Black Friday price last Fall and I really enjoy it. All I'd add is that mine has strap buttons and side dots. It's great fun in a plastic uke that sounds very good, unlike some others. Great review.

I just ordered the concert size and now I want the baby one. ❤

The Enya Nova U Mini that I just got has strap buttons and side fret markers. They listened to you and they are welcome additions. What strings would you put on it? I have a set of D'Addario Fluorocarbons coming but I was going to put them on my Flea.

Like the gold on black, sounds great, I recently bought an Enya Concert uke, really like it

I don’t usually like sopranos but that is really nice. Nice tone and lots of projection and you play it well.

The Outdoor Ukulele people sell a set of self-adhesive strap buttons. They are holding on very well to my Outdoor Tenor.

I bought the concert-ish version of this (sans pickup) when it was offered at an introductory price of-if memory does not fail me-$79, shipped. It stays at our Fort Myers house so I don’t need to pack and schlep a uke when I go there. Nice beach uke but, if I am playing at a beach event, I’ll use my Outdoor tenor instead.

Just bought one after watching your video. It was enough to convince me that the quality and sound it their and that is enough for me so that I can play music for my baby nephew who I would wish for him to learn and love to play guitar

Someone from Enya must have paid attention to your review. They now offer them with 2 strap buttons, a strap and a capo. I just ordered one from US Amazon, they have 15% off coupon so with tax I just paid $53 and change. Thanks for the review!!

It's nice. The concert was nice too. These ukes are so well established by now. Wish they made the sopranos when I was in the market for a travel ukulele. I was seriously considering the concert but went with Flight TUS because of the tiny size. Not that I'm unhappy with my choice! But if this was out then, it'd be a much tougher decision.

Have they watched your review??? find out now...so i just received by nova u mini (from amazon US) and surprisingly it came with gold strap buttons and 4 side dots (5th,7,10,12th fret), this ukulele is small, but wow, it has a nice punch to the sound

I ordered a black one for my teaching set and will order more if they come in more fun colors. I generally use Makala Dolphins but like to have a few options to choose from. Of course if I would stop giving them away I wouldn't have to replace them so often.

This soprano was my first Enya, and I now have my second Enya and a third to be delivered soon (the latter two are mahogany). Enya is an incredible value. My Flight concert-neck travel quickly became unplayable for some reason (dead G string) and I didn't like the feel of the Flight textured-plastic fretboard, even with the metal frets.

Just got this uke today and thought you might be interested to know it now comes with strap buttons and dot markers on the side 5,7,10 and 12 interesting no strap. Maybe they were watching your review! Thanks for the great review.

More colours coming in the new year, apparently .....

I just bought this on sale at amazon , should be fun to play...on a side note, I also bought an Enya euc-mad blue concert (also on sale at amazon) and its really quite pretty...it would be great to see a review on this one.

Thank you for this review. I see this is from about 2 years ago, and it is May 11, 2023 today. I saw updates in a couple of comments about the strap buttons now being added. I have a comment regarding the comments made in the video about this being made of carbon fiber, as I suspected stating it is actually plastic was not correct, so I looked it up: "The properties of a carbon fiber part are close to that of steel and the weight is close to that of plastic. Thus, the strength-to-weight ratio (as well as stiffness-to-weight ratio) of a carbon fiber part is much higher than either steel or plastic." The one thing I had not considered (I have not purchased a Ukulele yet, looking for my first), was the fingerprints that will be left on the body due to it being made of carbon fiber. Does anyone have a comment / suggestion regarding that aspect of this otherwise seemingly great starter Ukulele?

It's nice to have you review the smaller one as well. It is very cute, I agree. I'm mainly a tenor player, but I love the concert Nova. I have never had the fingerprint problem on mine (also black).

I notice that the saddle is compensated (with bevels) just like its bigger sister. The bevels make small adjustments of the string lengths so they intonate correctly. That is, they play on pitch at the frets up the neck toward the body. I tried a low-G string on my concert-size Nova U and found that it doesn't intonate correctly due to the bevel. So anyone who buys one of these Nova U ukes with the idea of changing to a low-G, don't bother unless you have a "tin ear" and don't care that the high pitched chords will be a bit out of tune. It's great the way it is, as a gCEA uke.

Thanks, Baz! I'm really excited they're offering this in a soprano. I hope they add more colours; it would be odd if they didn't. I suspect the other colours are better with the fingerprint issue.

I love sopanos too! Thank you for extra review 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm curious how you would compare this uke with the Flight travel soprano that you reviewed a while ago. If you had to choose, which one would you give the edge to? Thanks for all of your great reviews.

Thanks Baz. I've got the concert version. One of your fellow reviewers said recently Enya hope to bring this out in other colours.

I received the concert yesturday and the saprono today i wasn't sure on which so orderd both. The saprono is so much better for me and it only cost £50 off Amazon UK absolute bargain thank you for the reviews.

Has anyone had any fret issues? I wanted to get this uke but keep seeing review about it having poor lifespan of frets.

Not bad at all. :) yeah shame about the strap buttons. I think it would be a great little ukulele to travel with or take to the beach... or to learn on. Cool :)

I like it, like the colour and sound of it. How can you go far wrong at that price, especially if your new to Ukuleles like me. I think it’s probably a perfect Starting Ukulele for anyone. It sure don’t look like some cheap toy to me, or sound crappy. Not sure if I’ve seen the Concert review but I’ll check it out, I’ve seen a video of an American lady talking about one. I wonder if they make a Tenor, and I will have to check out to see if they make a travel size guitar like this. Just been checking out the Paul Brett Vintage Viator, lovely guitar but a totally different price obviously. I have checked out some Carbon guitars but they are crazy prices.

Thanks!! Picked one of these up after watching this review and reading the review. Crazy! I really enjoy this beautiful instrument! I absolutely play it more than any instrument I've ever owned, (and I own dozens) except my voice. I play it every day! I feel okay about leaving it under the edge of the bed. Hubby leaves the room while we're watching a show....pick it up and strum. Throw it over my shoulder, head out to the garden with good intent...end up in the old metal glider-chair in the deep shade, next to the big moss covered rock....strumming, picking and singing. Get up in the morning, first cup of tea, on the front porch, wicker chair, cats, birds, insects buzzing... strumming real low on the little black Enya. Can't wait for the Acoustic Plus review! Won't order one until I see the review here!!!

Very nice sounding thanks for another great review

They must have listened to you about the strap! I just ordered this one and it does come with a strap. I hope it arrives soon.

Very nice staff! )) Thanks for the review.

Does it have a radius fret board

By the look of it and according to your observations this is a soprano that even my gnarly old polar bear paws could handle. I like the concert and even managed to get the electronics to function eventually. Might even give one a try at that price. 👍

Now, i've got mine !😊 Thanks !

I wonder if omitting the side soundhole would make it more difficult to change the strings on this one. Where should one feed the string through after tying the knot? Through those “flame shaped” slots where the front soundhole is supposed to be?

Do I get a little tiny gnome to wipe the thing off? If I’m gonna buy an outdoor uke I’ll just buy a cheap laminate wooden uke with a good setup.

Baz, you got an opinion on PUkanala and Smiger ukes? I looked for a review on those on your chanel but did not find any. If you have a word of advise i d appriciate. Thanks man, happy weekend!

Hello Baz - I'm a new subscriber but I've listened to many of your reviews. What I'd like to ask is what is the tune that you pick each time you do a review, and do you have a tutorial for the piece? It starts at 4:39 on this video. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Enya: it's time for a BAZ signature series!

Excellent review!

Good sound on this end....good value

Could you do a little piece on using fishing line for strings? Or if you have already done that, could you point me in the right direction? Pretty please :-)

Great review, Baz. I love my Nova U Concert!

I really love this!

Greetings, any word on the frets wearing down as mentioned in the concert review? thank you.

What strings do you recommend for the Nova U ukes?

Is it Sunday already??

will you do a review for transacoustic enya?

Nice shirt!

It sounds really good in the video. Nova U might be the best first ukulele for anyone.

Why do I want this? I don't even like sopranos.

How on earth would you restring that without the side soundhole?!

Christ that sounds so nice. I have a Kala I’m happy with but I want to give it to my nephew to learn and was looking for something. Well just different and this form factor jet black design and carbon plastic body fit that to a T.
