Soundly constructed of good materials, well packaged, tough and plays well.

This is a rather good instrument! It plays easily and is in tune with itself with accurate octaves which demonstrate the benefit of the all-in-one carbon composite construction.The strings are fluorocarbon, and a spare set is provided. To put that into context, the excellent Worth fluorocarbon strings are currently over £16 for a double set on Amazon.Body & NeckThe entire instrument is moulded in a 30% Carbon Fibre & Polycarbonate composite. Polycarbonate is often to be found in things like 'bulletproof' glass laminates and some Flak jackets. Even the frets are moulded into the fretboard, which is part of the neck, and body etc.The nut is 34mm wide, and it is 28mm across the strings at the nut - which is a bit tight for my big paws which need an XXL glove. Most people will not have any problem getting used to this.The exterior is buffed to a fine satin sheen that looks properly elegant.SoundThe soundbox is slim, so we are not expecting deep bass here, out-of-the-box the bass is in a good balance with the treble, and the overall sound is bright, but mostly sweet and never shrill.It might struggle with a low 'G' string, but I plan to try that to see how it copes.Case etcAll this arrives in a semi-soft zip-up case, together with instructions, the spare strings, and a tuner.Altogether a properly professional presentation of a good instrument.StringsIf you buy one of these, please stick to using plain clear strings. Any 'wound' strings will mark the frets and eventually chew them away. Metal-filled strings are said to be a problem, like the Aquila "Red" series that contain copper particles. So one might want to be careful of using other pigmented strings. Some pigments can be abrasive. Besides, the standard fluorocarbon strings do seem to suit it well, and it does come with a spare set of these.Waterproof?Well, why not? The machine heads are metal and might rust, but everything else seems to be what Enya claim it to be - a good quality composite. I might not take this swimming with me, but would not worry if we were caught in the rain.Ahh . . . the machine heads.These were a bit less-than smooth when new, but a cotton-bud and a smear of grease solved that. Might help prevent rust, too!Who is this for? Me for one. I really like it, and will gladly struggle with my encroaching arthritis as I get used to the slim neck. I retired 20 years ago, so no surprises there. A 10-year-old kid would love one of these, perhaps as a their second instrument? The 10-year-old inside my head thinks it's so cool!Anyone wanting a good-looking and well-finished Soprano Uke should consider this one. It is not the cheapest, but it is robust, plays in tune and will surely survive our weather better than a wooden one! Recommended!

Easily rivals some other wooden ukuleles of the same value

After reading some conflicting reviews here on Amazon, I was a little unsure about purchasing but I am so very pleased that I did. I have since purchased a further two more!So, the Nova U..... the concert size, in my own opinion, is the better of the two sizes.The mini soprano is still a very good value for money uke; carbon-fibre material makes it durable, surprising bright sounding, sturdy, portable, looks good...The concert however, does have the advantage of a richer sound, but it’s bigger with a sound hole atop, so that’s to be expected.I bought ours in the green/blue colour and a black concert size. The colours are aesthetically pleasing, teamed with the gold accents of the tuning pegs and strap pegs make the Nova U stand out and also help them to look less ‘cheap’ and less like a toy, which can happen with the colour-finish ukuleles.The concert size comes with a little accessory pack inclusive of matching coloured uke case, capo, strap and some spare Enya strings.Paperwork and certificates also included. I don’t believe these ukuleles are replicas.The concert size is perfect for both me and my child, who is 8.The mini soprano comes only in black and with the accessories comes a nifty and proficient digital tuner and battery (clip on)- which picks up only the sounds of the uke strings, so it’s all good to tune in a noisy room. No capo or strap with this sizeBoth sizes have a bowed back for a richer sound, the fretboard on both sizes have a few more accessible frets for finger-style than a standard wooden uke, due to the design of the Nova U.The strings sit pretty close to the fretboard which means playing chords and making them sound is very easy to achieve.For beginners and children, this is perfect- Instant results for minimum effort.Again, both these ukuleles have such a happy, bright sound and really do rival some other wooden ukuleles of the same value.Buy this concert uke and you won’t regret it.Now, there is the option for the electro-acoustic, which I cannot comment on as yet, but that will surely be my next Enya purchase.The only downside for me (and it’s not even a thing really) are the strings, but I’m not keen on Enya strings anyway - I find them a little ‘baggy’But it’s nothing, they can easily be replaced. On that subject, the strings are very easy to change on the Nova U, if you wanted to.Delivery was fast; two days and they were all here, safe and sound. Well packaged and good communication from the seller. Cannot fault them.Thank you. Enya Music for our latest purchases. We look forward to the next ones in the coming months!

Beautiful presentation

Unboxing this ukulele is like having a new iPhone. It’s beautifully packaged and looks so much more expensive than it is.Tuning was dead easy- it was hardly out by much.On my first play, which to be fair wasn’t for very long, I have to say I wasn’t sure. It felt as if the action was a little high. I re-packaged it and considered returning it. After all, it’s meant as an ‘as well as’ for me to keep in my studio - I didn’t really ‘need’ it, ahem.The following day I took it out again and had another play. I was in my camper van and it was pouring with rain so I wasn’t going anywhere for a while. This time I thoroughly bonded with it and it was so much fun!Took it with me to a session with mates that evening - played it for another 2 hours and didn’t want to put it down.So all in all, very pleased with it and very glad I gave it my best shot.

Lovely tone and cool looking ukulele

I bought this as I needed to play a gig at a beach ⛱️ event and didn't want to take my expensive ukulele, I was amazed how good this Enya soprano ukulele was so much so it's becoming a regular at my gigs and my go to for travelling...holds its tuning well and has really nice lower action and a beautiful sweet sound..as I'm planning to travel more frequently it's going to be played regularly 😀 and I really want to show this cool ukulele to my ukulele player friends soon 😀
