Product description Grab yours and join the ukulele revolution today! Crafted with a carbon fiber construction and an innovative sound-hole configuration, this ukulele boasts a strikingly vibrant tone. Its ergonomic design, featuring a sleek and slim profile, a comfortable and enjoyable playing experience. Easy to Tune The standard C tuning features strings tuned to G, C, E, and A(From the left to the right when you put the ukulele straight and facing the front as the left picture shows). You may begin your tuning with the 3rd string, which is the note C, the G-E-A. For a new instrument, it will take time for the string as well as the ukulele body to adapt to the pulling force. You may need to tune the ukulele several times until the force is balanced and the tune is settled. Whether you prioritize tone or quality, the Nova U series is the ultimate choice Specification Nova U Mini Ukulele Nova U Travel Ukulele Nova U Pro Travel Ukulele Nova UE Pro Ukulele

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: Absolutely Brilliant! - 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.

## 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.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great uke ignore the negative reviews
*by R***Y on May 24, 2026*

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.
