One of the best Ukes I've played! I like everything about it besides the price... I got an Enya S1 tenor instead. Not as nice, but more affordable for sure, more of a value buy in the spruce/rosewood combo. One of my favorites, would love you to review one!
After seeing your review of this aNueNue Uke and watching Vanessa Ding play this same Uke on You Tube, I knew that I had to have one. The problem is that there are no dealerships for aNueNue in the US. There are in the UK but, I soon found out that no one had one. So, I E-Mailed aNueNue (in Taiwan) and they quickly replied back and said that they could sell me one directly but, they were currently out of them as well. However, they would reserve one for me (without a deposit) that would be ready by the end of December (about 4 weeks later). Anyway, I got it yesterday and could not be happier. May I echo the 8 Wow’s in the 8 seconds you did in your review? :) Anyway, outside of the beauty of this Uke (and case), it does play as well as it looks. The one thing that really amazes me is the sustain. Wow (8 times again). It goes on and on and on and on. I still can’t get over that. Anyway, for me it is a 10 out of 10 and now it will be my primary prized Uke. So, thanks to your wonderful review and thanks to aNueNue, I have my keeper. BTW, aNueNue was really great to do business with and kept me informed throughout the process. Also, the only change I made to this Uke was to replace the normal G string with a Fremont low G string. Just my preferences. :) This is a Uke, I will cherish.
Glad you got one - yes, their distribution channels are not good, but are improving. 6 months ago, there was no UK distributor either. Johnson at aNue Nue is a really helpful and nice chap though!
GotAUkulele It's now May 2017 and it blows my mind with all these great instruments and potential buyers (like me) in the United States that there is not a single authorized dealer here. At one tone I see UkeRepublic was a dealer, but I don't know what happened there. I did have a recent communication wit aNueNue and they said they were more than happy to sell to me directly as they did with Greg (above). I was luck enough to grab a bargain (about 1/3 of original retail) of a really nice aNueNue WAE2 which is their World Series American Eagle Ukulele in Concert size. After watching your reviews on this Moon Bird and the Africa Mahogany II Concert, I think I may have to go direct with the aNueNue factory and get one of my own. I do wish though they would get a dealer back in operation in the USA...
I could not be happier with my UT200 Uke. It is a dream to play and feels great and, looks great as well. I don't play any of my other Uke's very much at all now. The quality on this is amazing. I am now looking at their Koa 3K. Anyway, a very very much thanks to GotAUkulele for reviewing this Uke and opening my eyes. Thanks Barry, keep up the great work you do!
Beauty. And thanks for setting people straight on the gains in Chinese building. I started out as a bowed strings luthier - then went into guitars and ukes. There are some brilliant builders in China now. I get tired of 'know-it-all' guitar types dismissing entire regions based on hearsay. I had someone bashing Chinese instruments the other day - and it turned out their main instrument was a recently made Guild GAD acoustic made in, yes you guessed it, China!
The problem with ukuleles (and guitars as well I suppose) is that China has been (and still is) responsible for some absolutely shocking stuff that should never see the light of day. So I guess people assume that they are all like that. The reality is, there some incredibly talented luthiers in China, as there are in any country.
Kop Prophet These are possibly made in China, but it's a Taiwanese brand😬I hate seeing crazy political debates on whether Taiwan is/should be a part of China but in terms of brands and products they're definitely not the same region. You're absolutely right that entire regions shouldn't be dismissed just like that though. That's not only unfair, but ignorant too.
It costs around 1k in usd here in Kong Kong. I have tried this model really surprising me. It is a Taiwan brand manufacturing in China and mainly retail in China and Japan.
Wow! That's a beautiful instrument. It's a good thing it's not available in the USA at this time as I couldn't afford it anyway, so now I don't have to feel bad about that.
Just treated myself to a Nuenue Moon Bird concert. It looks and feels amazing and sounds incredible even in my incompetent hands. A ukulele for life. Thank you World of Ukes for being at Cheltenham Festival. Roy May.
nice could you tell me is the width nut the same as the tenor or is it a little bit smaller just cant make my mind up from the tenor to the concert Thanks
This is such a boss instrument, it seems to really bring life into wherever it's at! I have a question, though - what passage do you play at 8:37? Anyway, this was a great review and I definitely enjoyed it
I own this very instrument and ADORE it! Probably the finest instrument I have ever owned. I've had it since February and it is just not getting broken in and sounding even better. I travel with and it gets lots of love! Anuenue is producing some amazing instruments. Both Guitars and Ukuleles! If you're considering a higher end Uke, I would NOT hesitate on this particular instrument!
And its all YOUR FAULT!!! I love telling people about your intro for this video... I've watched many of your reviews. Never had you started one with such passion and love... I knew I was in trouble from the start!!
Wonderful review of this instrument (from Taiwan, by the way ;) ) and case. Thank you so much. It got me interested to purchase from aNueNue myself. Best regards, Roger
@@GotAUkulele AHA! That's why it is so good - Taiwanese manufacturers insist on very high quality control. They probably have some of their staff living in the Chinese factory. In the meantime, I'll just pluck around with my Kanilea K-2T. Unfortunately, too many of our American dollars are funneled towards the Chinese military, instead of their people.
Hi, Barry as always a very good review,you are a lucky man getting the opportunity to play these fine ukuleles ,is there a reason why you don’t give the price at the start of the video,anyway great work sir
michael daley no particular reason. But I always think it’s better to read the written review before watching the vid. The vids miss out a lot of info. In fact when I started reviewing there were no videos at all!
Hi and thanks for these reviews. I've seen the three reviews you've done of Anuenue models and I'm curious if you've got plans to review one of their entry level ones, perhaps the Aqua line? I'm looking to buy a uke for my teenage daughter in the near future and am interested in the brand, and I'm wondering if their entry level models have good quality controls.
@@GotAUkulele thanks for the response. I'll keep an eye out. I'm in Australia, and there are several stockists here for Anuenue. The reviews of their higher end models have been so positive that I'm hoping some of that quality trickles down to the entry level models.
Apparently their guitars come in Newborn Bird, Feather Bird and Flying Bird series, so it's not specific to this particular model. I'm not sure what the original bird motif came from though.
Hi! I was wondering if you could do a review on the Vorson FSUK1BK, it's a solid body electric that I was thinking about buying and I would like to see your opinion on it, thanks!
Probably a dumb question but how do you guys store the Moonbird in its case with a strap. I find it very difficult to get it to fit in the case with the strap attached. Does everyone take it completely off after each playing session?
hi m8, brilliant reviews by the way, I own a Kala long neck soprano which I really like(solid spruce top). I want to buy a better quality soprano with a wider nut width than normal, what would u recommend please.........£100 - £300 range.
The only wide nut sopranos that I can think of in that price range would be a Flea or a Kiwaya. Unfortunately, wide nuts tend to be the preserve of the higher and instruments, particularly Hawaiian ones. If you can push up to circa £550 you could get close to a Koaloha Soprano (wonderful instruments). Other option is to buy used.
Hey Barry, I have a Tanglewoood TU6 soprano uke about £25..the noise is clean and loud and it's very well built...However when I play the G major chord, for example, it sounds out of tune because the G note on the E string is higher than the open string and the D note is high as well...can I do something for it?
Yes, you probably can - it sounds like an intonation issue. Could be several things. 1. bridge too high, 2. nut too high or 3. (most likely if it's just one or two strings) that the break angle at the nut or saddle needs adjusting. It can be done at home if you have the right tools for the nut, but equally something that any guitar tech in a music store 'should' be able to adjust. Nuts and saddles on ukuleles are designed to be adjusted for exactly this reason.
Hi, as I’m lefty 🥲, the UT200 seems to have a Metallic sound. Is it RUclips’s compression ? In comparaison with ut1k, amm3 with a mellow sound, can I play everything on this ut200 ? Thanks
aNueNue is from Taiwan :) (I'm not gonna add "not China" because that will then start a political debate 😂) In any case, you wouldn't expect "It's from China, it must be cheap" to apply. They might be made in China though (official website says China and Japan).

I ordered some Worth Brown Low G strings and tried these. The fret buzz was gone, but I can see that the G string has a visably MUCH lower height/action than the other 3 strings. I suspect that the slot has been deeppened by somebody. I really want to keep this uke as I can't find it anywhere in the EU and Britains tax and duty (and the price 😉) after Brexit on purchases from there stopped med buying a new one from 'Southern Ukes' or 'World og ukes'. I am considering changing the nut. I have changed nuts on two other ukulele's myself and in the process gone for a zero fret solution from 'Golden tone', but won't attempt it with this one. This nut is sunken into the head/neck on both sided so it's not just a simple loosening and easy change. It will look like shite. What to do?

Also bought one after seeing your review with low G. Absolutely love it thanks so much.

Where you brought it？？？
I can tell you absolutely love to play it! Fantastic look/sound.
This will be hard to say goodbye to!
With a slotted head this might have been the best uke ever build. Incredible sound too 😊
Thanks for a very nice review ❤
I have just bought one of these, I have put a low G on it and it sounds amazing. I bought it after seeing your review. Many thanks👍
Terrific instruments!
What low G did you put on and did you need to modify the nut in any way?
@@MrSaxxie2 D'addario.
No extra adjustments.

If that had been an 8 string I would have been on the phone ordering one Looks fantastic
Honestly, the way this shimmers when you strum it you would think it had more than 4 strings!
I'm on the hunt for an 8 string, that's all just checked them out @ world of ukes and all sold out,
Yes they are - sold out today I think - he does have more coming in though
still up to date? Still one of the best tenor u played ? nice review btw :)

What a lovely man & instrument! Always love your critics, also what's the name of the second song you played?

Relatively so - but there's a fair few ukes out there that cost significantly more!

This uke is either unknown here in Denmark or maybe the price has scared people off.
It is in as good as new condition and the seller contacted me again today with a here and now offer.
£740, alternatively he'd take it off the market again.
What could I say? 😉
Could you give me your opinion?
I ended up buying the before mentioned second hand UT200 Moon Bird from a musician and the condition was near 'As New' and sooooo nice 👍
I had already bought some sets of Black Water Anuenue high G strings in anticipation via Southern Uke (post order here to Denmark)
As it turned out it was strung as a low G (I hadn't thought of that option at all ☹️)
When I put on the new 4th High G string it gave an awful lot of fret buzz, so much so that the string was resting on the first fret and therefore playing a G#.
I can't see any warping of the neck.
I hadn't thought about there being a difference in the nut between High G and Low G ukulele's as I haven't seen one up close before.
I ordered some Worth Brown Low G strings and tried these.
The fret buzz was gone, but I can see that the G string has a visably MUCH lower height/action than the other 3 strings.
I suspect that the slot has been deeppened by somebody.
I really want to keep this uke as I can't find it anywhere in the EU and Britains tax and duty (and the price 😉) after Brexit on purchases from there stopped med buying a new one from 'Southern Ukes' or 'World og ukes'.
I am considering changing the nut.
I have changed nuts on two other ukulele's myself and in the process gone for a zero fret solution from 'Golden tone', but won't attempt it with this one.
This nut is sunken into the head/neck on both sided so it's not just a simple loosening and easy change.
It will look like shite.
What to do?
Keep it as a Low G with a low action on the G string (☹️) or have a qualfied luthier change the nut and rectify the High G fret buzz?
What would you suggest?
I lean toward the latter.
I am quite frankly a rank amateur uke player and just started learning for fun but I do appreciate quality.
That's why I also bought a Kala Comfort Edge from Southern Uke.
I have fun learning and these two ukes are really nice, even just hanging om the wall in the front room 🙂👍
nuts are tricky to deal with, but yes, it's quite common when fitting a low G for the slot to be widened - not deepened as such, but it sounds like that is what has happened.
To reverse you either need to cut and fit a new nut (or have a luthier do it as you say) - or - a trick i've employed myself. Get a nut or saddle blank and sand it to create a pile of dust. Add a couple of drops of cryo / super glue to that and mix - it will give you a paste - use a cocktail stick or toothpick to pack that paste into the slot. Leave it to dry and then cut a new slot that isn't so deep. If you use the same colour blank to create the dust you can make the 'filler' almost invisible!
