I bought this uke for an upcoming camping trip as I'd heard it is the best option for weather and temperature changes. It has a unique look and I really love the flowers-- very pretty. It holds tuning very well right out of the box. I've left it in the car while at work all day and it hardly seemed to matter to the tuning or the overall condition. The sound is definitely less rich than a fine wooden uke, but it has great resonance and volume. I like it enough that I ordered one for my daughter, so that is saying something. Nice uke, great price, ships fairly rapidly.Great design, it sounds so clean!It plays very well and is absolutely beautiful! The only issue I had is that it didn't come with the extra strings as said and shown. Aside from that, it's a great ukulele and I love it!The Nova U Joy has fret markings on the side of the neck and the back is arched.It is amazing ! I got a 300 dollar Mainland and I have to say the playability on the Enya is on par with that one. And it stays tuned !Strings are good and the action is pretty close to perfection. It doesn’t feel as nice and warm as a wood ukelele but for the price , it’s prob the best first ukelele to purchase. Bc it’s sturdy , sounds good , and easy to play. This funny 80s one is a nice attention grabber also. Love it !!I own many ukuleles some of them cost over $1,000. I like to look for value priced ukuleles because I like to introduce the uke to new players. I loan my uses to these people, hoping that they will someday be better than I am, and at the very least they will find enjoyment and peace from playing this wonderful interment. In the last few months I have purchased 4 Enya ukes. I bought the brown one with the slotted headstock, which included everything needed for $79. I was so very surprised at how well it played, so I bought another one just like it within the next week. I wanted a uke that was more weather resistant so I looked at the Enya novas. I thought the colors were boring, so I bought the white one with the cherry blossom painting. ( it is beautiful)I started playing it to break it in and I found out that I loved it. I do not feel that it needs to be put away in a case, so it sits out, and yes I grab it just to play when I have a few minutes. the low ,action and the carbon filament strings make it so easy to play. I loved my new Enya's so much, I just bought the blue one this week. You definitely can not get another uke of this quality for the price.The Enya Nova U Flower uke is a stunning 23” concert travel size uke that is suitable for all weather occasions. It is made from 30% carbon fiber and polycarbonate making it totally water proof. This beautifully designed uke comes in a white satin finish with a sequence of painted on cherry blossoms that start at the lower bout of the instrument to create an S shape that trickles all the way up to the headstock giving it a stunning look. The beautiful signature on the back in Chinese characters and English gives this uke it’s unique authenticity. It is lightweight and very comfortable to hold and play. The sound is surprisingly clear and bright and projects out very loudly. The bundle includes a very sturdy black pod case, a white strap, white uke capo, an extra set of strings and on line lessons. I really enjoy playing this uke very much. I give this product 5 stars for playability, aesthetics, quality, workmanship and materials. You will be the star of the show and all eyes will be on you when you perform with this stunning Enya Nova U Flower Ukulele. I know I will!!Great job Enya! =)The ukulele sounds great!
