Hello great playing and i love my enya nova go guitar i am very interested in your modding of youre nova u i looked for youre etsy page couldnt find it
The description for the tenor version indicates that it can also be used with an amp. Is that an output jack on the bottom? I e ordered one but haven’t received it yet. Awesome playing!!
Yeah, it has an output jack. The Acoustic Plus is disabled if you plug in a cable, so it's an either/or situation. The jack is on the bottom right, the same placement as you would find on a Fender Telecaster.
There is no headphone jack. It is a somewhat quieter uke than normal, but not by much. If you turn the effects on, they don't actually make the uke much louder, they just change the sound of the instrument with a tiny transducer on the back. It's a tricky technology to explain. If you need the uke to be properly quiet, you might be interested in something like a Stick style ukulele, like a Risa Stick, and a Vox Amplug 2 (hey have headphone jacks) and the sticks are the quietest style of ukulele, they're barely audible acoustically.
This was amazing to watch so thank you a TON 🙏🏼 Also, the light set up on the uke is BEAUTIFUL 😍 Good job on that song too! It was a good way to demo the uke's effects ✌🏼 I LOVE U2 (and that song specifically) 😁🤙🏼
Hello! May I ask an update about the color of your white enya ukulele, since its been around a year did the color turned yellowish or did it stay white? Because I am planning to get one so I was wondering if it'll stay the same after a few years
Yeah, it has stayed white. I haven't noticed any yellowing. I'd imagine if it was exposed to something like cigarette smoke, that might yellow it, but I haven't noticed any yellowing with mine.
The bridge has a hole and a slot for each string. You tie the end of the string into a knot, put it in the hole, then run the string into the slot. The knot should prevent the string from slipping through the slot.
Thank you, it doesn't sound too difficult to change the strings. Do you know if a low G string could be put on this ukulele? I read somewhere that you couldn't because of carbon fiber body & the material of a low G string will eventually scratch the ukulele? Do you recommend the Nova U concert acoustic plus ukulele as a relatively easy & fun instrument to play? I'm a beginner player & I own an acoustic/electric Fender Dhani Harrison tenor that I love so I already own an amplifier. Are there any other acoustic/electric Enya ukeleles that you'd recommend? I know Enya makes solid wood ones that are way more expensive. I was attracted to the Nova U for the price and the acoustic plus feature, and it looks fun to play! Thanks again for any information! 😁
@@susanspellman4888 I have tried putting a low G on, but it caused some pretty ugly intonation issues, so for that reason I wouldn't recommend it. If you put a wound string on one of these normal Enya Novas, it will erode the plastic frets and ruin the uke. Hence them bringing out the Pro, which was basically launched to combat that issue. Its metal frets can withstand a wound string. Basically I wouldn't modify it unless you're a luthier or an experienced technician. Even then, it's probably better to aim for a Pro instead if you plan on doing any modifications. If you buy it and use it as is, then yes, it is a fun instrument. I use one in the music school that I teach in. The nicest Enya's do come with quite a steep price tag. In terms of electrification, there are 3 categories, 1) Acoustic 2) Semi-acoustic 3) Electric. The best electric ukuleles around are made by Fanner. They aren't cheap, but are extremely beloved by the electric ukulele community, as they are actually made to a high standard, unless basically every other manufacturer (including Flight). The world of semi-acoustics is huge, basically every company is making some kind of semi-acoustic uke. So it's mostly a matter of budget and preference. If you're just starting out in that world, then maybe take a look at Kala, Ohana, Snail, Pono, Millar etc. If you're a millionaire, you can look at the more aspirational brands such as Martin, aNueNue, Rebel, Coast, and if you're into Hawaiian ukes, all of the K brands, Kamaka, Kanile'a, Kiwaya, KoAloha. I tried to not list ones that I've had to do serious repairs on, though I have had to fix Kalas, Snails, Ohana's, Ponos 😂 So 🤷🏻♂ Almost every instrument can benefit with a setup by a luthier. Most instruments are set up pretty badly leaving the factory.
Thank you! You gave me a wealth of information! 🙌🏼 I ordered a Nov U concert with the effects earlier today in red, I really wanted orange but it was out of stock, and I'm going to leave the high G string on it as you recommended. My Fender has a low G string. I frequent a local music store so if there's any issues with the set-up I'll go to that shop. I can't wait to play it and I know between my Fender & the Enya, I'll be having hours of fun strumming along! 😁
@@susanspellman4888 No problem. I hope you have fun with it when it arrives. If you have both a low G and a high G, you should be covered for playing most things on uke. Best of luck with it.
Mark, watched quite a few reviews on this instrument but this is the first one where somebody dives into the thing 🤓 Interesting! I am wondering how fragile the whole effects-unit is. Like, if you use this instrument for an outdoor banger … would that speak against it?
There's only one way to find out really. I wouldn't imagine it's water-proof, if that's what you're thinking. It's also probably a bit quieter than you'd imagine. Like it's not an amplifier per se, it's more like it takes the existing acoustic sound and modifies it to add the effects to it. It's basically an acoustic sound, plus reverb or relay or chorus.
Yes. You'd have to scratch it pretty deep to see the black polycarbonate. If I recall, the white stuff chipped when drilling, so it is probably more like a sort of white plastic coating rather than normal paint.
Love the ones with the lights!!
Pre-ordered one. Can't wait! I have the acoustic soprano and in spite of having 8 other great ukes I play it most often! Great sounding uke!
I love my Enya...play it in my band...
Thanks for your review. Love your neon Enya Uke on your wall!
Thanks Carol. I do plan on making another one. I'm a bit busy at the moment though.
just unpacked a white Enya Novo eu Pro, like the one on the screen, your video is excellent, thank you,
Hello what a super cool idea flashing lights on a ukulele with effects buttons i hope it happens great video.
I’m getting one as a late bday gift! Thank you for the review!
Amazing, both of them!
Thanks Jim 😊
Wow looks awesome
Damnnnnnnnnn. That was cool AND fun to watch! Well done!
Looks great and sounds fantastic
Dear god man! This is amazing!!!
Thank you Christo 🙂
OMG! You played U2 on a ukulele ❤❤❤
Impressive. Entertaining!
Thanks CA
Which is better looking, the white like what you have or the black, actually gray?
Hello great playing and i love my enya nova go guitar i am very interested in your modding of youre nova u i looked for youre etsy page couldnt find it
Soooooooo coooooool!!!
I need one!!
Everything about you is pretty amazing 👌
Nice man. Subscribed and look forward to more videos from you!

Hey! Wondering if you can use an adapter to plug this into headphones to not disturb the household! Please answer if you can! :) great video!

Hi. Thank you for this review 😍
Could you tell me the exact weigh of It, please? Ican only find the weigh of the acoustic version. Thank you!!
I can't tell you the exact weight, but it's very light. I don't notice any difference between the two by feel.
@@MarksUkuleleTips oh, nice! Thank you very much

Thanks so much Andrew. 😊
Yes please 🥺
Thanks.
Omg I want one 🙈
😊
Your enya he did you get the different color lights ?
Sick
Where can I buy please!
I'm sure if you google Enya Nova Ukulele you'll find a way to buy one in your area.
What’s the song at 1:25 it is so familiar.
It's La vie en rose

Have you tried google maps?
I have. But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
How do you change the strings, is it difficult? Thanks!😁

Can This Be Used With An Amplifier ?
Yes.
How did you get the color lights on the enya ?
With about a year of research and development 😂
I have another video about the uke I'm the background on my channel.
Would the amplifier be easy to replace?
No. I'd be reluctant to even call it an amplifier. It's more like it augments the acoustic sound coming from the instrument.
@@MarksUkuleleTips Without an easy replacement you are gambling on it useful life.
@@billisnice It's a $160 uke, you won't be replacing components inside of it in a cost effective way, even if it was easy to do.
The inside is black, correct? Does that means the white is painted on?
Yes. You'd have to scratch it pretty deep to see the black polycarbonate. If I recall, the white stuff chipped when drilling, so it is probably more like a sort of white plastic coating rather than normal paint.
@@MarksUkuleleTips Thank you!
Not cool of you to play that lovely song at the end and not say what it is :P I was able to find it tho. Thanks for the vid.
The clue is the part where I go "Where the streets have no name" over and over again. 😉
@@MarksUkuleleTips that's fair. I hadn't made it that far initially, I really enjoyed the chords and was trying to look it up right away. 😁
@@kitoverse3710 That's great. It's a lovely song to play. Especially with a delay effect on.
You mentioned Jesus, are you a believer in Christ?
