I've played guitar for 32 years. Bought a UKE to play around with a year ago. It was a huge hit with the whole family. Everyone wants to play it. I'm so impressed with UKE's, what wonderful instruments they truly are! My daughter has learned to play and has gotten really good. Thinking of upgrading her from the LUNA we now have to one of these in your vid. Great channel, thanks for sharing!
My favorite for the sound: Lanikai
My favorite for the features: Enya
My favorite for the look: Kala
What do you do for your playing demonstration, like chords, strumming pattern, fingerstyle pattern, etc.Because I love it!

Great!
Thank you so much for your videos! It's a great resource!
The sound of the Lanikai is beautiful!
Is there one you feel more comfortable to play with ? With the neck?
Bernadette Teaches Music I just purchased a Lanikai tenor and gave my Cordoba concert to a friend. Not going back, no Ma’am! Love it! I was more intrested in sound (and payability). Seemed the Cordoba wanted more string pressure even though all my ukes have Aquila nylgut. Anyway, point is, I’m happy. Great recommendation.
I think Enya is my favorite. It’s beautiful and the sound is unique
it really is a unique instrument 😚
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic
Hi! I just subscribed to your spanish channel! :) Can you tell what is the difference between the eut 70 and x1? ( besides aesthetics) I can't decide which one to buy 😅 since you have both.. será mi primer ukelele!
@@Blaueta Which one did you buy? I'm having the same debate haha
@@WarNavi the Enya x1 tenor I looove it. Now I want a smaller one to carry around but I'm inove with mine haha
You inspired me to get a ukulele and learn how to play it and your videos help so much. Thank you!
Thank you so much! That is so so sweet! ❤
I really love the Enya ukulele, the design on the head is beautiful! Thank you Miss.B for another great video 👍👍
Yes, the head is gorgeous!!!
Hi it is a pleasure to meet you! I was so happy to find you on TH-cam. I bought my first ukulele in January for 20.00 it was a wetman soprano, I was feeling blue and anxious and the sound was so cheerful. I watch your videos whenever I can and you have brought me out of the darkness into the light. I ordered a couple online and had to send one back because the gears looked gold plastic and I could see them peeling in future. I am torn between all of these. I love the enya its been sitting in my cart on amazon for a long time. I might buy a tenor but the concert is gorgeous. I live in a small city in Canada where there really isn't much to do and all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!❤️
Thank you for taking your time and really putting together a beautiful video! Im going to save up for the enya!
glad you liked it! ;)
Bernadette Teaches Music loved it! You really took your time, I appreciate it so much!💗
This video was really helpful thank you so much Bernadette 💖
The Lanakai was my favorite in this comparison video. I liked its styling, its tone when played, and the color of the wood and bindings. I liked it so much that I went out and bought one for myself! It is still my favorite ukulele of the 4 that I own.
Hi Bernadette .. I have taken up the Ukelele again after many years, having ‘graduated’ to guitar when I was 16 prior to which I was playing a baritone Ukelele. Love your channel so subscribed and have just bought a Lanikai after listening to your reviews. I had forgotten what a happy sound this instrument makes so am loving the new lease of life it inspires. Thanks Mike from Melbourne Australia.
My favorite was the Enya. To my ear it had a deeper more rich sound. But I agree with you that I'm so attracted to that glossy look of the Kala. Thanks for another great and educational video!
Yes, Totally Agree about Enya, love the sound and the looks 👍👍❤️
I like the Enya ukulele. Fantastic value for money.
Great Comparison as always. Loved your editing work.
Really digging the longer videos :D
Which one is KitKat's favourite?
Wow! Love your videos! Keep up the good work :)
I have to agree with your final assessment. If I were to purchase one of these three it would be the Lanikai. When I evaluated on sound only, for me the Kala sound is thin. At times it almost sounds tinny and doesn't pack much of a punch. The Enya sound was a bit muddy, the differences in the notes were not as articulated. Of the three the Lanikai sounded brighter and had a much fuller sound than the other two. They all three seem like good instruments for starting out, but the Lanikai I think would be most pleasing. :) thanks for your reviews and your tutorials, I appreciate them!
Thanks for another, as always, fun video!
thank you for the sweet comment! ❤❤❤
That Kala glossy finnish is so gorgeous but omg that Enya Uke sounds amazing! Such a soft and mellow tone
I love the rich mellow sound of the Enya. It really complemented the softer strum and the finger picking. and I also really like the Kala as a really fun upfront sound especially with the faster strums. Thanks for the demo.
I think sound the Lanikai wins but the Enya is a close second followed by of course the Kala.
For finish I love the Kala is the gloss.
For overall looks the Enya. I love the open or classical headstock and the classical guitar tuners too.
With that said I'd get the Enya. The open headstock is unique on a uke and looks amazing.
I didn't think I would say this but,,,,I liked the Enya the best.....love the slotted headstock...I would like to say the Kala but, seems like the Enya has a more mellow and deeper sound (which I like)......However, all 3 are very nice...Blue bag is cool, Like YOU! :)
Thanks for videos. I purchased Enya as result.
I’ve had the Enya tenor for a month now and everything I’ve learned I’ve learned on this channel.
I’m happy with my glossy mahogany MAD Enya and yes, the gig bag is fantastic.
I think the Enya is my favorite. I really like the way it sounds. I have a concert and have been considering getting a tenor. Thank you!
You win the round and always will do as far as I am concerned. Love you. Ken
Thank you, Ken! Have a wonderful week :)
Hi Miss B thank you for this video it was very informative. I agree with you on the entire package of the Enya, I love how they sound and it’s nice to not have to worry about extreme weather. I bought my Grandaughter the Lanikai Tenor based off your recommendation and it is so beautiful to look at and the sound is amazing! But most importantly, she loves it! My all time favorite that I own is my Mainland ukulele that I purchased down in southern Indiana. It is super glossy too but the sound is like no other! Thanks again! Oh and can I just scream with delight about those finger/rhythm shakers!
"Oh and can I just scream with delight about those finger/rhythm shakers!" -you are hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
I am so happy that you found a recommendation on this channel and that you're happy with it! That is the BEST I could ask for :)
Your demonstrations I.e. playing the instruments are the best.
The Enya, for me, wins in every way; better gig bag, exposed tuners, strap knobs, matte finish (glossy things bother me for some reason), comes with a Spark tuner (I have one already, it's great), laminate (where I live we have extreme weather) the sweeter sounding carbon fiber strings. Amazing, thanks
Just a note to say, it's great that you're teaching ukulele to the students! :-)
I really enjoy listening to the Enya. Thank you😊
I'm getting the Enya on Tuesday in concert sized. I can't wait 😁!
Have you been playing it a lot? I know you said it was a little soft... I've heard people change the strings to fix that ;)
Bernadette Teaches Music Yes I've been playing it quite often and it sounds beautiful. I kept the original strings because I like the way they feel and I feel like and gave it a unique sound. It is little bit soft but I don't mind because it's really not that noticeable.I really, really love it.
I loved the sound of the Enya!
I got an Enya concert uke and I love it so much. My only complaint is how it's kinda quiet but I love everything else about it and the extra stuff
Hey Jordan, thank you so much for coming back here and letting us know what you think about it. That really helps people who are thinking about buying the instrument! My Enya round ukulele is REALLY quiet too, but my tenor is perfectly normal.
lovely comparison!
I love playing ukulele and I love your channel.
Yessss! I love the sound of tenor ukueles!
They are so much fun ❤️❤️❤️
Just purchased the enya pineapple I really like the softer sweet sound it makes I’m a newbie so I’m hoping I made the right choice for my first ukulele can’t wait to start learning xx
I loved all of them, I have a tenor ukulele, you are so much talented my friend :)
Really helped !! Thanks (:
Another fine Uke to consider is The Enya ETU-70 because it is has brighter sound and has a more attractive Koa laminate than the EXT-x1. The ETU-70 model looks more like real wood. Both are weather resistant and best of all the ETU-70 is less expensive. I have some experience building custom guitars so it would be fair to say, I notice the finer points of how a guitar or ukulele looks, feels & plays. In comparing over 16 Ukuleles under $300, the Enya ETU-70 one of the easiest playing and best values for a Ukulele under $100. Price not being a concern, the Lanikai featured in this video sounded and looked the best. I want to give a shout out and send lots of love to Bernadette because I learned how to play the Ukulele from her 30 Day Uke Course and her 30 Day Uke Challenge Course! Thank You Bernadette!!!
Someone probably already said this, but kia is a type of acacia wood grown in Hawaii. It is primarily grown on the big island, and it is the traditional wood for authentic Hawaiian ukuleles.
*koa*!
I like the enya the best, and that’s the one I am investing in! I have been thinking and doing a lot of research and this really pushed me to get it!😊
Hey! I'm really happy with it :) as you saw from this video, it is one of my favorites! Let me know when you get yours, Victoria!
I am so looking at Enya or Lanikai now as a reward. I just got into learning the ukulele and as part of the drive to continue to improve (i've been practicing everyday) in a year's time I will look to upgrade to a better sounding one. Kala's are pretty but the sound from both the Enya and Lanikai has definitely caught my interest.
I love the sound of the Lanikai........Gotta get one one day.....Thanks for your Great Vids...I'm a new subscriber and Learning on Your Videos Exclusively ....Been playing the Guitar for over 60 years, but my hands just don't work like they use too....The Uke makes it easy and I love being able to play again.......Thanks again,,,,,,,,,,,,,Bill D.....AKa MemphisBluesMan
Pretty lady, the tuner you called a spark tuner is actually a SNARK tuner.....I just ordered one of them for my guitar I ordered. Of course, there are several models of snark tuners that can be bought.
I just subscribed.I am looking for tenor ukulele then I saw your channel:)
Gig bags: I also prefer the most fully padded up to a hard case; however, I prefer any bag to none at all.
Tuner: I have lots of tuners like the 1-button tuner ((same tuner, different names)). I liked the one I had just before that tuner, but it fell and broke one day. They’re okay, but for me, my Yousician app tuner is my absolute favourite.
Tuning pegs: all are fine, I do like the closed ones ((like on the Lava U)). Colour: doesn’t really matter.
Strings: I’m too much of a novice to notice differences ((but when changing strings, I only use Ernie Ball because I don’t know how to do knots)).
I don’t have an Enya yet ((it is my 2nd-next Ukulele, my next is an electric concert paddle Uke - in yellow, then Enya Nova U - in light blue)) ... meanwhile, I’m still waiting on the ((pink)) Populele 2 to arrive! I have matte and glossy, painted and stained, Mini & Sopranino to Tenor ((I actually want a QUALITY Sopranino, Sopranissimo, Nano, Piccolo, iUke, etc and they all are on the horizon of my radar)) ... and I plan to buy a DIY Uke to put together - to understand my Ukes and their parts better ...
The sounds ((and strings)) ... I did like the Carbon Fibre strings ... they did sound “sweeter,” but sound is subjective ... when I do my shows ((and mine are awful, you can look at my channel if you don’t believe me)), my different ukuleles are chosen for whatever theme or message I’m going for ... like 05 July 2020, my “Showstopper” post, where my voice blew in the middle of the song, it was about both the colours and the sound of them, because the message was not only America’s freedom, but Black-Lives-Matter ... and it is explained in the Showstopper clip.
Anway, I LOVE your videos, you ROCK! 🤘I am always looking up songs or different teachings, because as a newby, I need the simple version. I’m strongly driven and passionate about ((GCEA)) Ukes ((all MUST be tuned that way)). I was not a great pianist, I want to become better than average on the Ukes someday.
Oo..yess..thankss..l agree with Lanikaivs sound as th best..l lovvv it....so pretty
Thx for the test! Like the warmth of nylon more as with guitars btw :)
Just love the sound of Enya ❤️
Bernadette, I was wondering how you feel about the strings on the Enya and your round one after having them awhile. I bought the Enya tenor (after watching this video a hundred times!) and I have two Lunas, a soprano and a concert, which both have Aquila Nylgut strings. The Enya's strings are a bit odd, but I love the sound. I do have more trouble fretting on the Enya and I don't know if it's just because I'm not used to the size of a tenor yet or if it could be because of the strings.
I love watching your unboxing and review videos. I have a Cordoba concert ukulele and I thinking of getting a tenor ukulele, and your videos help me to know what to look out for. What are the two melodies you where playing? Is there a tutorial to learn them?
Kala is my favorite. Hi from the island Guam!
The sounds from all 3 are amazing. The only thing I really don't like about one of the three Ukulele's is the head gear adjusters. Yep, that would be the Enya. It's very different having the tuner adjusters pointing backwards to the head rather than horizontal to the head. Maybe OCD but I don't like it. They are all beautiful and I think it may be wrong to pick a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the sake of it. Unless you really do find a favourite. You did play all 3 beautifully and the review was so unbiased.
I do not own either of the brands. I own a Fender laminate koa, Kamaka koa, Oscar flame maple, Martin koa, Luna mohagany and a off brand made of ashwood. This is helpful for when I get my next aquisition. I like the enclosed silver tuners. The cordoba gig bag looks great. The Enya has a more well rounded sound.
Love he color of the belt , red white and bleu from my country The Netherlands
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yes!!! I love love love it too!!
Hi Bernadette. I’m new to the uke and love your videos and tutorials. Can you let me know what the chord progression is in that lovely little playing demonstration you do? Thank you!
Thank you Bernadette! ❤ my fav are Lanikai (look especially) & Enya (love its sound!) ;). Does Enya come with dark strings? I love the look of black strings. And were they high G?
They are all very good but my favorite would be the Enya ukulele for the sound and everything it comes with.
Hello Bernadette, I have a Makala Concert , it has the semi flat finish and is a Mahogany wood finish. my gigbag is okay, not much room for the strap but I have a Humidifier so it keeps the wood from drying out. I live in So. California. Mitch capalbo
I like the sound of Lanikai...
You should check out the lahanu ukulele gig bag and uke it’s amazing!!! I LOVE you channel!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍
AWESOME, BEE!!!
Thank you!!!
The Lanikai has the best sound and that is the most important factor for me when it comes to ukus. Additionally it is also the best-looking (although looks are not that important and depends on the eye of the beholder). So for me, the Lanikai is my top choice.
I agree sound trumps all
Looks are important on stage though. One of the reasons I play a Luna is that they look great under the lights. Otherwise theres only me to look at!
I don't know if this is a weird thing to do but I have a question: I LOVE the look of the Kala Ukulele but I LOVE the sound of the Enya. If I bought a Kala but replaced the strings with the carbon fiber strings do you think it would sound close to or similar to the Enya?
Also, sometimes I wonder whether to buy a concert or a tenor Ukulele. Could I, in theory, buy a tenor ukulele and just drop a Capo on the strings a few frets down whenever I'd like it to sound like a concert or even a soprano? What do you think? really hope you see this comment because I want to know! lol
My favorite is the Kala.
I pray I get money to buy one soon😇
Your awesome thanks for your videos😁✝️
I like the mellowness of the Enya.
Gracias
Gracias a ti, Raven! :)
thanks for video
thank you for the comment
welcome
I luv the KALA uke! I wanna get it (maybe) once I reach 20 subscribers. Also, PLEASE review an ukulele from the California coast collection by fender! I wanna get on of those (probably the rincon , motecito, or the Zuma). Also, should I get a Tenor uke?
The Lanikai was my favourite in this comparison video. It's similar my Kala KA-SA solid acacia tenor. I like satin finish and slotted Headstock.
9:10 -demo
My favorite will be:
Lanikai: OVERALL, for me it fits on my aesthetics, reminds me of a retro. The sound is clean too.
Enya: FOR SOUND. I like deeper sound. But I find the body too simple, but still sophisticated
Kala: FOR LOOK. I like the finish gloss its like a high end classics, a bit flashy. But the sound is kinda pitchy for me.
Nice reviews..
☺️ thank you!
Still working on it, but hopefully getting better
Ms. B! =) I have a Tenor Enya now! I have the Pineapple Soprano, Concert & Tenor ( The Enya X1 series) I have the Enya X1 series family now. When I saw one of your old video before where in you Unbox 2 Enya, The Tenor & concert, I was like, I gotta have that Tenor! I got it Yesterday =) Peace & love!
Hey! Do you love it?!?!?
Yup! To be honest, I already made an Unboxing video of it, & a (song)cover :) . Yup! I love it!
Hi, love the lanikai colour, they all sound good in the hands of an accomplished player of course! Please compare Snail & Vtab ukuleles. Hope all is going well in your new life.
I'm in Canada theres a music store near my apartment that sells Enya ukuleles but they're so expensive! I love love love them but a concert is 300$ and it makes me so sad. So I love to be able to see the different ones on your channel!! ❤
WHAT?! That is INSANE. Tooooooo crazy! Are they available in your amazon?
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I believe they are it's just to find one that's reasonably priced! I'll just have to set money aside for one!
Hi, thank you very much for your effort and you inspired me to learn ukulele. Please let me know which ukulele i need to buy? I need the best one price is not the matter.
I think i might get a enya concert uke. Not now but I want to in the future
I am SO grateful for all of your videos. You take you time and explain very clear directions/descriptions. I have a completely unrelated question and I hope you don’t mind me asking: what procedure do you use to keep your teeth so white?
Hello can you help me decide which to buy? Im planning to buy my first ukulele and I really dont know which to buy anymore :) which is the best you can recommend. Which has better sound?
ENYA EUC-X1
KALA TENOR SATIN MAHOGANY
If you get a chance, I'd love to see you review Gretsch and/or Luna Tenor Ukuleles. Thank you !
Love your reviews of these, I am a beginner with a Soprano ukulele but need another and a ukulele player has suggested looking at Tenor ones. Your video has helped and made it easy to conclude myself that the looks and sound of the Enya is lovely in its uniqueness. Now to see if my piggy bank has money in it :/ as being off work for last 3 years due to health and family have left me £$ 0 ( Kidney failure and transplant and looking after my 95 year old mum, 3 years) with dementia till she died in a care home 18 months ago and my dad last September)
Hey Bernadette! The Kala looks so beautiful! Am a concert lover and am thinking to buy a tenor in the future! Does the kala sound more "tight" or more "light" than the others because of the gloss maybe?
Favorite was the Enya! Beautiful sound. A little uke a little guitar:)
Putting everything aside but the sound quality, I like the Lanikai better than the others.
I like the Kala, so I bought one and changed the G to a low G the music store asked me why? I like the tone!...
I liked the Lanakai sound quality.
You should try installing your own buttons on one of your Ukes. I did it on mine and I Love them. There are a lot of TH-cam videos on how to do it and it is a lot easier than you think once you get over the initial fear of drilling a hole in your ukulele.
I am WAY too scared to do that because I am waaayyyyy too accident-prone. But I may have someone do it for me and film it :D
Thanks for the comparisons! I love my Luna Tattoo Tenor Ukulele! MaryLouise Alu Curto
i love the lanikai ukulele
I think your review of the Aklot ukuleles would be valuable. It's a rare range that offers solid wood top ukuleles within the under $100 range.
And I dig the Kala gloss.. though the Enya has a cool unique look..
I like the burgundy turning pegs on the Enya, Kala's gloss is amazing but I'm still partial to the Lanikai sound.
I am partial to the Lanikai sound too 😊
I came close to purchasing an Enya concert but had to allocate funds towards raising poultry. Next month I'll be in chick cuteness overload! Who doesn't love a fuzzy yellow chick? 🐥👍
Great video. Very informative. I stumbled on to your channel while researching Tenor Ukuleles. I'm a guitarist exploring them. If you get a chance I would love to see what you think of the Gretsch Tenor. I have been playing various Gretsch guitars since 1974 and would love to know if they are any good. As far as the ones you feature here, I really like the Enya based on the sound. I know Lanikai from living in Hawaii for 22 years. A lot of guys I used to jam with played them Thanks for a good video and I will now be checking out your channel often.
Hello
I’m just a couple weeks into my ukulele journey. I’m currently learning on an Kmise Tenor uke which is a great starter. I found myself drooling over the Enya Tenor with that beautiful wide neck, I’m wondering if there is a learning curve to the extra space between strings?
Thank you so much for all you do, without you I would still be dreaming about playing instead of actually playing!
You will feel like there's a bit more stretching to do but I think you'll adjust quickly considering you're already playing a tenor ;)
I really like Kala Acacia sound great. Have you ever use plug it the pickup w/ built in tuner equalizer?
I don't have that built in :( sorry, Marvin!
Hi There Lanikai has a fuller sound. Maybe it's the different strings. Nice!
Yeah... the Lanikai has been my favorite for a looooong time, so it's hard for me to decide if the others are better.
Which one would you recommend for a beginner? I’m deciding between the Kala and Lanikai
I looked at a couple of enya ukuleles online. I really liked the soprano pineapple shape one for its price and “quality”. Do you recommend that I purchase it? Awesome video👍
Lori Dikena I just got my enya soprano pineapple in today and I like it a lot. It seems a little quiet but that's because I'm used to a concert size. I am going to switch out the strings for Aquila. I saw a review on gotaukulele.com for the circular and regular sopranos and he really recommended them because of the make... Although he said the way the string were mounted on the round one made it quieter. The pineapple strings are mounted to the body more like the regular shaped sop. Sorry for the giant comment haha
Oh, thank you so much for letting us know, Jennifer! I like the long comment, it's informative ;)
Jennifer McKelvey Thank you so much! That helps a lot👍
Hi Lori, I’m sure Miss B will jump on here and give her recommendation as well, but I wanted to let you know I have purchased 2 of the pineapples for a ukulele group and the quality is nothing you need to worry about. It does have a quieter tone to it, not too punchy but still a sweet sound. The set up is spot on! I can bar chords easily and it had good intonation! Good luck!
I'm just now starting to learn ukulele and using your videos. I bought a cheap ukulele off ebay and not real pleased with it. I feel like I can learn with it but going to order something better. The Enya is what brought me to this video. I love the matte finish and slotted headstock. But I really love the abalone trim on the Lanikai. That one looks like it has been discontinued though. Is the Lanikai a solid top or laminate? Thanks for the great videos.
That's cool you are Okinawan. I only have met one Okinawan in my life that I knew of. May have met others without knowing. The guy I met was named Bobby and he was a classmate in high school.
I have seen travel shows on Okinawan is beautiful and I want to go there one day.
By the way, there is a hot dog place called Oki Dog here in the Hollywood area. It's called that because an Okinawan started it years ago. See Oklahoma people are not the only ones who are Okies, you are one too because you are Okinawan.
