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!

This ukulele is one of those exceedingly rare items that was conceived and executed in a way that can only be described as brilliant. That it’s made of molded material means it can have the kind of complex curves that make this the most comfortable to hold and play ukulele ever made. Everything is smooth, no sharp edges, it’s a joy. That they chose a very good grade of material to construct the ukulele from means that it will last a very long time and, with decent care, a lifetime. Aesthetically it’s very nicely put together, joints are invisible, the finish is pleasingly subdued (I have the black soprano version), and the contrasting hardware is attractive. The cost is hardly more than that of a child’s toy ukulele, though it is decidedly not a toy, and from an innovative design, build, and value perspective it is unmatched. Of course we own ukulele’s to play and to enjoy the music we make with them, so how they sound is very important. The sound as it comes is fine, but I suspect the strings were chosen to provide volume and as a result they’re a little sharp. They’re not sharp to the degree they’re harsh, but they’re not the softer tone I prefer and have become accustomed to from my Kala ukuleles. I think they’re perfectly acceptable, but I swapped them for a set of Aquila Super Nylgut AQ-100 High G Soprano Ukulele Strings, and I love the sound. It’s a personal choice. I cannot imagine a better ukulele for the beginner to learn on, and that’s good enough for the expert to have and enjoy as a knock around spur of the moment companion. In summary, it’s absolutely brilliant.

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!

This Enya ukulele is beautiful. Light weight and has great sound. As it’s carbon fibre, it’s basically indestructible. The price is amazing so it’s very affordable. The accessories are a very nice touch. The only concern I’m having now is the tuning is not holding. I’m assuming it’s because it’s new and getting used to its new environment. It’s a great starter uke for anyone wishing to learn to play the ukulele.

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.

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.

思ってたよりも良い音です

BRILLIANT!!! My third Enya ukulele and I am, like the others delighted with it! I have the orange one which, at the time of writing was free delivery and less time to wait. It sounds fabulous! A lot brighter than my other ukes and does not sound plastic at all (possibly due to the 30% carbon fibre, but who knows). The action is fab, really low but with no buzzing. Far and away the best concert size Uke I have, and a pleasure to play. While I am in my 50’s, I do think at this price this would be a great Uke to learn on for a child, as the mix of carbon fibre and plastic makes it really tough and of course would survive school. But I would recommend it to anyone, and having played it consider calling it a ‘travel Uke’ to be selling it short due to both it’s clear, bell like tone and playability. Minor gripes. For me, the matching strap was about 2 inches too short....it is comfortable for me, but fully extended...but good straps are cheap. Secondly, it comes with a matching case, which is really good considering the slim line nature of this Uke, but it has NO pockets...so nowhere to store a tuner....that said, not the end of the world. Would recommend this to anyone, it is too much fun! If I had known it would play this well for me (I have concert Ukes but prefer tenor size usually), I might have spent a bit more on the model with the pick up and effects. But delighted with mine, my best concert Uke by a long chalk.

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!
