Review: (4.5) Misses perfection as a travel ukelele, but still an awesome uke that I recommend! - 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!
Review: Great uke ignore the negative reviews - **2 month update** Been playing this little guy non stop the last two months. Yes, you do need to re tune even after breaking in the strings.. But it's a ukulele using basically fishing line for string. You're going to HAVE to re tune it. This is normal. At least with the dadario titanium strings. I haven't experimented with other types of strings. But I do know other folks that play Ukes, I'm told even with a $1000 uke, you'll be tuning it every time you pick it up. Nature of the beast. As far as the sound quality? Outstanding. I went to guitar center and played other ukuleles. Higher and lower dollar marks. Still would go with this one. And it looks badass. Sound is vibrant and projects very well. Wouldn't change anything. Still 5 stars. The case is great! Time for a review on this one... Ignore everyone complaining about not staying in tune. These are not metal wound guitar strings, you're going to have to check tune.. especially in the string stretch phase. Aside from that, this uke is absolutely perfect. The sound is outstanding, the action is low. Very much perfect. Grab the dadario tuner to clip on the end of it.. The Little circle one. Fits perfect, small and out of the way. I play almost daily and after the first couple days of string stretch I don't have to constantly tune it. But you'll have to re tune any uke due to the type strings they are. The sound quality on this uke tho is superb for the price. Punches way above it's price point, and with the body construction it's impervious to humidity and weather changes. Would def buy again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I modify the saddle to lower the action or is it glued in place?**
A: On the soprano I received, the saddle is molded as part of the bridge.  Sanding from the top will modify the compensation, plus it is radiused.  On the one I received, the action at the 12th fret on the 4th string was about 3.25mm, or over .12" according to my string action ruler.  The first string was slightly higher.  I'll write a review under the title "sharp"

**Q: does it have a radius neck like the cherry blossom one?**
A: Yes, the nova ukulele has a radius neck like the cherry blossom, thanks for your question.

**Q: Is the color is more like a tiffany blue or baby blue?**
A: it is more like a tiffany blue

**Q: Will you be carrying the nova u flower ukulele anytime soon?  i see it pictured in the group photo**
A: It’s finally available on Amazon but on a different listing page. Just search for “enya nova flower” and it will come up. (I’ve been looking for it myself.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Uke for Adventuring, Scouting, Hiking, and Canoeing
*by J***R on July 12, 2024*

Hello. Long time Scouter and here. In 2023 I was a part of a crew that headed down to Florida Seabase and we spent several days on Big Munson Island. While prepping for the trek, my wife shared a link with me to this Ukulele. I love music. Several of my crew members love music. I won't pretend to be the best at playing the Uke, but I like music and I can hold my own. This uke is tough! While we canoed to Big Munson island it sat at my feet and I barely noticed it. Every morning after waking up, I would walk out to the picnic table I left it on, upend it, and dump out any rain water that had collected in it. It held its tune fairly well and the tuners continued to function throughout the adventure. The only noticeable wear on it is the corrosion around the tuning pegs due to the exposure to sea water. It still tunes though. At the end of the adventure is when it got it's first branding. A tradition at scout camps is branding of images or initials to signify the completion of the adventure. The Carbon Fiber body is fairly resilient and has stood up to many such brandings without changing tone quality or getting in the way of strumming. Over the next year, I became known in the scout community as "that guy with the ukulele". It went with me on monthly camping trips, summer camp, training weekends, and even a 18 mile camping hike in Savage Gulf Tennessee. I just strapped it to the hiking backpack and didn't even notice the weight change. During all that time it accidentally banged up against trees, picnic tables, and whatever else my clumsiness may have had it collide with. This past week my wife and I took 9 other individual scouts on a trip to Northern Tier Atikokan and completed 50+ miles of canoeing and camping in the Canadian Crown lands. Just like with Sea Base, the uke found its way into the canoe and rode with me wherever I went. During portages, I rigged a carabiner to it so it could hang from my life jacket while I carried my share of the load over the trails. It still tunes. It still sounds great. It is always fun to see scouts, counselors, or other passersby on the trails light up when they see the uke out. I guess I can't say enough good things about this. Thank you for making a quality product.
