Like this one. Thanks for sharing and hope you feel better now Barry
Even though I’m not in the market for one of these, I always enjoy your reviews. It’s interesting to see what’s out there. Amazing the difference strings can make! Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for watching!
Great review! I really like how candid you are! You've given me a great ukulele education. Best to you and your family!
Thank you! You too!
Interesting review with the tension!
Thanks!
Ps: In Scandinavia we often tune our ukes in A-D-F#-B (I have 5 ukes, all in this tuning)
;)
Indeed! That’s the trad soprano tuning. Used to be popular in UK too, and still popular in Germany!
Really enjoyed the tune up session! It really woke the uke up. Also, found it interesting to hear you play the staples in a different tuning. Awesome review!👍👍
Many thanks!
Loved this! I had an ukulele by Luna for the longest time I liked well enough but I gave it to my sister when she went to college. Love the in-depth, consistent and honest reviews from your channel!
Thank you!
Great video, Baz! Not my cup of tea, but I love seeing all the different instruments out there. There is something for everyone!
Thanks for another great review! With the right strings, this may be a candidate for camping trips.
Yep - great for something like that Steve!
Great review, and cool instrument! ✌🏼
Glad you liked it!
OMG! That expression at 9:15!!! Priceless! No Halloween mask necessary, Baz! It scared me!
Ha!
Danke!
Thank you!
Like the metal frets. Wondering if the chrome ring around the sound hole has a functional purpose or is just for looks.
Just for looks
Great video, as usual. Probably a daft question, Baz but do you think it would work just as well with a set of Aquila Nygut's (or equivalent) or would you recommend sticking to fluorocarbons as it's a plastic uke? Cheers in advance!
Yes, I think any strings that are thinner in gauge (i.e for soprano / concert) will work better.
Sounds much better with the D6 tuning... but I wonder whether the offset sound hole stifles the volume, and maybe tub-ifies the sound a bit.
I don't think it's so much that - a sound hole is merely a thing to allow air transfer and make the top move - not what creates the sound.
I do like the Enya but seldom any others. I like the looks of this one. It looks sturdy enough and may be a good travel ukulele. The strings Are flabby no doubt. They sound like toy strings but I think with better strings this would not sound to bad….excellent review as usual. …DOC
Thanks Baz, unfortunately not for me. Do agree the tuning 2 step up did improve the sound. Makes me wonder why a company can’t pick up on this before release. Another great review and always interesting.. Have a great weekend.
Fair enough!
The design and material seems nicer than the Enya especially the the tuners. I also don't enjoy a flappy set of strings so you would think since each instrument can be set up precisely, they would do that at the factory. They definitely should put the proper strings on it.
Another great review, I enjoyed it.
Thank you!
The black one is $99 right now on Amazon here in the US. I already have the Enya so I'm not interested.
Yep - very dynamic on pricing - no doubt this price will change in a week too
The frets on my new Martin T1k were so sharp on the outside edges they actually chaffed the skin on my finger tips until I painstakingly rounded them off with some very fine grit paper.
Kind of makes me wonder if there is room for debate on whether Martin should (a) stick with tradition and not make any changes or (b) Martin should step into the great reset, evolve and refine the T1k into a todays version of the uke.
I watched your review on the T1k years ago with no mention of the fret edges making me wonder if Martin’s standards are dropping. Maybe time for a re- review of the T1k? After all, it is a classic and there aren’t to many ukulele’s that have been in production for so many years. Have they changed for the better or worse. If you still have your one maybe a comparison?
Cheers mate.
Maybe they - are - great empires lose their grip eventually!!
(Sorry - don't still have mine!)
Thanks Baz! Great job again. Total shame about the bloody strings, eh?! Oh well, plenty more out there to whack on and get it "fettle-up". Thanks mate 👻👻💕💕👻👻
Well said
$119 but when you include the cost of a setup and new strings it moves up considerably. Surely better value ultimately to go for something from a uke store.
If you do the setup yourself (it's not that difficult), a set of strings (if you haven't already got them lying around) isn't going to cost a lot. And you could still use the ones they supply for a tenor uke, so they won't be wasted.
True enough!
I have one of these and I’ve got to say that over time and stretching the strings, it did take on a quite pleasant tone. One thing I did notice was that compared to other concert size ukuleles I own, that the scale length is shorter. Could this contribute to the initial sloppy/loose feeling strings?
Not sure (but also stretching over time will not change tension - tension is a function of mass over length) - I just think the string gauge is too thick - so pitch is happening at a much lower tension
@@GotAUkulele just saying… my experience. These strings feel quite taught now.
@@leofernandez037 That's just physically impossible though - tension is a function of the mass of the string over the vibrating length. The mass cannot change over time, neither can the vibrating length. So the tension cannot change. (Unless you change the pitch)

Definitely not as floppy as when purchased.
I’ve had the same experience getting Worth Brown Low G not to feel as sloppy as they stretch out, and in my opinion, become tighter.
Shorter scale means less tension,you're right.Gibson, for example ,uses a shorter scale length for their guitars than Fender,and that is one reason(besides the pickups) why Fenders have more "twang"
That is not the plastic instrument I'd buy. I have a Nova and it's preferred
Think I am with you there - but they got close!
@@GotAUkulele i think if it was a bigger difference in oroce they've got something.
Better strings is all I would ask - then it would easily beat the Nova U concerts - hands down
@@GotAUkulele I like my Enya nova also !
Maybe in a tenor size but this size seems tinny and frankly looks hard to play...
Think a lot of plastics can sound thin - the hard to play bit is down to the loose strings
Well the strings are one thing. But I’m not amused by the thought of trying to fix the setup on one of these.
Why? Standard setup would fix it?
Ah well. I was mistaken a bit. I saw a plastic uke and thought that the saddle was moulded with the top for some reason. 😳 Still. Will never buy anything from Amazon, so I will not have to make any adjustment anyway 😁
Better than the Populele?
As a core uke - yes, I think so (VERY different thing - metal frets, richlite board, no electronics) - not a fair comparison though
@@GotAUkulele i look at this genre as outdoor ukuleles/travel ukes. Its nice to travel and not worry about them in the luggage!
@@godlikemonolith Exactly that - very tough!
I picked up one of their even cheaper offerings when it was on a ridiculous sale. Like this one, the strings were horrible and flabby. I switched them for UkeLogics and it was just fine for a plastic uke.
Yep - can imagine
I'm surprised that poor intonation only got a 3 second mention and then never again.
Because I could fix it in ten minutes - not right of course - so I mention it - but then I would urge anyone to buy from a real uke store to avoid this. Loads of Flights i've seen direct need work (and Enya's) but they are still good core instruments.
Also - I have seen FAR far worse and, as I say in written review - believe a proper string tension set would remove a lot of the issue too.
@@GotAUkulele Ah ok, that makes sense
