I ordered one of these after reading this review. It only took eight days to get from China to the San Francisco peninsula. The ukulele is absolutely beautiful and in great condition. I like the decoration on the neck and the gloss finish is perfect. It tuned right up and sounds great. The case is better than cases I have gotten with much more expensive ukuleles. I am super pleased with this ukulele- it is amazing for the price. Thank you again for a great review!
Renee Aubuchon great news!
OMG YESSS!! i have been dying to see a review of this one because i've been keeping tabs on it for a while to see if it would be a good idea to get it as an upgrade uke from the ones i currently have. I think i am definitely convinced after this, thanks, Mr. Barry! And thank you for a year of fun and honest uke reviews!
My pleasure!
I watch lots of ukulele channels, including yours, and this video is one of my favorites! In fact, your comments and insights led me to purchase this Enya with the black finish (not a color I would have considered in the past). I agree with your 'not my cup of tea' comment on the fingerboard art, but it somehow works with the black mahogany body versus the natural mahogany body. As for the headstock, you comments about access to lower frets and being smaller and more subdued than Fender's Montecito massive headstock rings true. I also believe the pull through string attachment is responsible for the bright sound and volume usually found in koa and mango instruments. Lastly, the gig bag is awesome! The best I have ever seen! Considering the delicate, all wood body of the Enya, a maximum protection is required while traveling and this bag is far exceeds what one would expect with a factory produced instrument. Thanks Barry for great reviews! I'm subscribed and now support $$$ you!
Thanks for the support Greg - yes - liked this one - Enya haven't really ever let me down to be honest!
i like Richlite. Hard and much less vulnerable to shrinkage so the fret ends will always be comfortable . . . and it"s nice to save trees as you said, especially when the material is just as good if not better. Nice ukulele at an amazingly affordable price. Thanks as always for the review, Barry. May you and yours be safe, healthy, happy and live with ease in the new year.
Edward Petersen thanks Edward. I do too. Great material and we will see much more of it!
Great to see this model reviewed. I LOVE the quality of my round Enya HPL soprano (the neck is beautiful), and wondered how their solid wood models shaped up. Like yourself, I’m not a fan of bling...but on a strikingly styled uke like this, I actually don’t mind it.
Thanks so much for another great year of reviews 👏 Grace and peace for 2019.
stuart mccrea thanks Stuart!
I just received one for Christmas gift in the dark brown concert version. I love ❤️ love it. Gorgeous and plays so prettily.
Enya are always a good choice
Fun fact: the headstock of this Ukulele has the same shape of the zippers on the Enya gig bags.
Thank you for the final review of 2018 and happy new year, Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
This one's my ukulele-goal, waiting on the wish list since many months. I like how unique the design is, and it's solid wood and good quality on top. They have one with a pick-up too I think. Therefor I think the higher price will be worth the upgrade for me. Nice to see that you also gave it a good rating.
Yeah - a pleasing ukulele I thought. Nicely made and a decent tone too
You sound much better this week than last, Barry! You beat that cold! Thank you for a great review, and Happy New Year to you!
Feel it too! Thanks Chuck!
Thanks for all the hard work! Looking forward to your reviews next year! I'm the world's worst ukulele player but love messing around with them anyway. All the best to you and yours for 2019.
Leon Morgans thanks Leon!
Barry, you mentioned that you really liked this ukulele but the inlay wasn't 'your cup of tea'. I agree. While it is really pretty, it doesn't have markers on the fretboard. That is important to me because I am new to ukuleles. I went to Enya's website to see what they offered. I found the EUC-MG6 -- Concert
solid Mango. It is very similar to the M6 but the fret board has a bit more modest inlay. I just got it yesterday and it is gorgeous and sounds great as well. I purchased through Amazon and it is about $100 more than the M6 models. Thank you for the excellent reviews and all the work you do to keep us informed. You are appreciated.
Thank you!
Wishing you and yours a great new year ! Love your reviews and common sense information videos.
Thanks Donna!
Thank You for this and All your reviews, Watching these got me into playing Uke, Once Again Thanks And May you have a Happy New Year
My pleasure!
Totally agree with all the points you raise. I changed strings on mine as I found them too taut and replaced them with Ken Middletons 'Living waters' strings. Big improvement.
i’d be putting fishing line on - which is my go to string choice!
@@GotAUkulele would be interesting to know how to do that. Eg what to buy, tuning hints etc
Just a guide, but this should start you off. Tuning is same, but options on gauges. Many professionals use this stuff, as do some of the worlds top luthiers. It’s the same stuff as most other Fluorocarbon www.gotaukulele.com/2015/05/something-fishy-fishing-line-as-ukulele.html
I will do the same when mine arrives.
@@GotAUkulele I have this same fishing line. It works quite well for me. Having quite a collection of ukes and several 8 strings this is a great option for replacement sttings.
nice review. I have this Enya uke. I love it. It is a bit quiet but thats fine.
Very nice!
Good and nice review...as you allways do ❤
With black or silver tuning buttons, and normal round white dots on the fretboard, it would be a piece in my ukulele collection 😊
Happy new year to your Sir, thanks for another straight shooting review.
Thanks and to you!
Yay, you sound like you feel a lot better!
I do!
Great review! Thanks. I was interested in your comments about the quick fall off and, to me, the tone seems a little muted. I recently bought a Flame maple Lanikai tenor with DAdarrio strings which, to me, also seems a little muted without much sustain. I wonder if different strings would make a significant difference? If not, then I’ll probably return the Lanikai.
Thanks Barry for all your reviews! I also wish you a good year 2019. Loving your Videos, greetings from Germay
This Uke btw, looks very nice, friend of mine bought one 2 Days ago and now your review is uploaded!! Hah.
Thank you!
Looking forward to getting this ukulele in about a week.
Enjoy!
Sooo pretty, and tempting, but that it doesn't sound like a tenor is a deal-breaker for me. But gosh...that neck. I'm not for too much bling, either, but I admit that's really attractive.
Still a very characterful tone though and lots of fun to play
Ive noticed that sound with enya. All ukes very bright sounding. Perhaps changing strings to low g might help.
Not found that with all myself - this one has a brightness though
Happy New Year Barry! Thanks for the reviews!
And to you - many thanks
Sounds great!!!
Yeah, it is a pretty tone!
It sounds like a concert perhaps because of the cut away making the sound box smaller.
Maybe, though the cutaway isn't all that big.
I try to listen for the lift off note changes ( at 9:25 ) when you strum and those changes can be heard very clearly on this uke. A very nice crisp and clear sound.
Yes it is - very chimey
I'm thinking of buying a tenor ukulele so I was looking at a few different ones. Wich would you say has better sound quality this one or the kala ziricote ukulele you also did a review of?
Don' t have them together to play them side by side i'm afraid and the Kala was a while ago. Both are good though, and sound quality is subjective too.
I'm considering getting this or the kala solid cedar top comfort edge for about £400. I like the look and sound of both and am looking to upgrade to a uke with a pickup. As I live in the middle of nowhere in Lincolnshire, there are no luthiers nearby and not bold enough to start fitting my own.
Do you have a preference either way? I'm leaning towards the kala and tuning it to low G, but I'm struggling to justify the extra £150 outlay as just bought a new car too.
Happy New Year and best wishes to you and your family! Thanks for all the great reviews! I did purchase the Enya pineapple because of how quiet it is. I work in the children’s department in a library and it’s perfect for that (not too invasive). Plus with it being made out of HPL it works with the dryer climate. I also bought the Tenor Aklot and put a set of Daddario low G strings on it (I heard your not a fan) I absolutely love it for the price I recommend it to my patrons. I also recommend they come to your channel as well as your website to see what you say because I do respect your reviews.
Cindy Hughes thanks Cindy! They will never get an Aklot recommendation from me though. don’t like their tactics to get reviews on Amazon
GotAUkulele I respect that. I had no idea though. Take care!
Cindy Hughes it’s no disrespect to the people who bought them. I put a review up to find out they had lied to me. The review was taken down because I don’t want my site having anything to do with endorsing them. Only time that has happened. I’m usually more thorough with brands, and was too trusting.
GotAUkulele I could imagine it must have been terrible because I did see there “was” a review at one time. With that being said I have purchased (based off your review) the Mainland uke, and also the Flight travel ukulele. I like to be able to show my patrons that as long as they’re smart and do they’re homework they can get a good uke without spending a small fortune. I will pass on your thoughts when I talk about the Aklot. Thanks Barry!
Cindy Hughes thanks Cindy!
OH! Finally RADIUSED FRETBOARD "nice to see" and by common sense a costly operation that it is sure it´s been made undoubtedly to improve playability!
Hiya, I am trying to decide between the this enya EUT M6 and the Kai KTI 700 for about 2 months now. I like the look of both and it's literally and sound decision. both sound lovely in different ways but it's just that last leap or topple over towards one or another. your reviews are always so honest and upfront that i seriously would like to hear your thoughts on your preference.
Have a great Christmas break and awesome new year.
Sorry, but I never give advice on final choice of uke - beyond my reviews, the decision just becomes far too personal! For what it's worth, the Kai scored slightly higher! I would happily own both!
@@GotAUkulele Thank you I understand. Have an amazing Christmas.
Thanks Baz!
Peter Cameron my pleasure Peter!
Wondering if that Florentine cutaway causes the tonal similarities between the Enya and the Antica Ukuleleria?
Richard White possibly - although the Moderno is quite different in shape and thickness too
Great review as always. As a Complete newby starting out, I quite fancy the Enya, the round one you did few weeks back, you said was quite, and i dont want to bug the wife downstairs while i practice. What do you think.
Originaly from cheshire now in Toronto. Cheers.
I liked the build, but it’s beyond quiet! Far to quiet for me. You can mute a loud uke with a sock to reduce volume, but you can’t make a quiet uke loud. I’d not buy one for that reason alone. Their HPL soprano is the same sort of price and whilst still quiet is a bit louder
@@GotAUkulele ok thanks Barry.
I've had an Ibanez Jem77vbk forever and figured this would be the perfect companion Uke. It really looks like its little sister. Purchased one recently, has yet to arrive. I find myself playing my Ukes these days more than guitar, so looking forward to jamming (or jemming) on this little beauty. I got the acoustic / electric option, was around 320 total USD. Thanks for review/ ^_^
My pleasure. Enjoy!
Hello! I have never played the uke before and i'm looking for a fairly cheap one that i can ask for for my birthday! I've never played any instrument before and the ukulele seems very interesting to me. What would be your top three recommendations?
Jaci bryant afraid I don’t have a top three or ever give individual recommendations. It’s just too subjective. Look at my full review list as linked above and go from the scores. Higher the better
If I wanted to tune this to re-entrant dGBE tuning, what strings should I use? Thanks so much for the great reviews!
Kent Strabala don’t know which brands as I’ve never done it - but they do exist. You just need to ensure they are Tenor strings designed for that tuning or the tension will be all wrong
Hi, is Kala KA C good fot beginers, because i am thinking buying one.
Yes, at the cheaper end they are very reliable
Nice👌
Bonnes fêtes
You should try to investigate the ukulele branding when you say stuff like “I don’t know why you would do that” gives people the wrong impression. Enya is one of the few makers that puts a truss rod in their ukes so you take it out to adjust the truss rod
André Hernández what? There is no truss rod in this.
André Hernández and if you do have a truss rod you don’t remove it - it’s adjusted inside the neck, not that a ukulele has strings with tension to need one
GotAUkulele yes there is and that’s the way they made it to keep it cheap. I have one and it comes with instructions to show how to remove it so adjust it.
The neck and the headstock aren't for me either, but the finish on the body is gorgeous.
Yeah - very well done
The Headstock spoils these , I think they're so ugly with that Telecaster look
I would agree - not for me either.
I couldn’t bring myself to own a ukulele called Enya no matter how good it is
Right..
