Tenor Ukulele 26 Inch Carbon Fiber Cutaway Travel Ukelele for Adult with Beginner Bundle Kit Including Case, Strap, Capo and Strings（Nova U Pro Black）

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.

I bought one of these in black for my older daughter for Christmas. She’s been playing the uke since she was 7; she’s 26 now. She loved it so much that I bought it for my 11 year old who’s been playing since she was 5. I loved it so much I bought the Nova U Pro for myself so I could compare to the Lava carbon fiber uke. The sound quality of the Nova is truly amazing for the price point. It’s light weight, keeps tune really well, and travels magnificently (it traveled back to Italy with my oldest & five layovers later it’s still as good as new). It’s comfortable to hold, which is nice because the Lava takes some getting used to b/c it has a weird back that slopes outward. We move all over the world every three years, and unlike our other wood string instruments, we won’t have to worry as much about the weather & temp negatively affecting these instruments. We also travel frequently and enjoy carrying our Ukes and guitars with us - it’ll be nice to carry a high quality instrument that we don’t have to worry so much about. I don’t generally travel with the Lava because it was an expensive purchase and I’m constantly worried it’ll get stolen, or I’ll leave it somewhere accidentally. The gig bag that comes with Enya’s Nova is perfect - This uke is truly a joy to play. Compared to the Lava carbon fiber Uke, Enya’s Nova holds up and is the one I go for 9xout of 10. Enya now has fans and customers for life. Our next purchase will be the Enya Carbon Fiber 1/2, or travel, guitar. If you’re looking for the traditional sounding uke, I’d suggest one of Enya’s wood instruments. If you’re looking for a carbon fiber uke, skip the lava’s crazy price and grab one of the Novas by Enya. I also want to add that it’s nice that Enya includes a capo, strap, extra strings & gig bag with the purchase of the Nova. The gig bags for the concert match the color of the instrument, which is different than the tenor which comes with a nice black bag. The capo is nice enough for beginners, or kids, but if you use one frequently you may appreciate one of higher quality. The strap also matches the color of the uke, which my 11 y/o loves. Additionally, if you prefer a more custom look for your Nova, purchasing directly from Enya gives you that option & their customer service is top notch.

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.
