  • The Enya is becoming my favorite ukulele, but how does it compare to a traditional wooden ukulele? Here is a quick little comparison between the Enya Nova U and the Kala KA-T.

    Kala is seriously being left behind by Enya and the other low cost uke makers like Aklot, Kmise, Donner .... I subbed you for the great idea of this video. Good job! Rich

      @@setiwetnge2661 Enya Nova U concert is a great uke. Aklot mahogany and Kmise tiger flame are great ukes. Kmise solid spruce top with guitar style headstock is great. I love my Donner solid spruce top soprano. At the moment the ukulele I like most and play most is Kmise tiger flame concert. 😊

    The Enya is a concert and the Kala is a tenor. An ideal comparisons would be the Enya Nova vs a Kala concert.
    That way, the tone comparison will be fair.
    The tenors definitely have slightly more warmth in their tone compared to any concert.

    • @ZackRamsey14
      @ZackRamsey14  3 роки тому +3

      You are correct. Do keep in mind that the Enya is actually right in the middle of a concert and a tenor..so either comparison would never be a true representation as they all have different scale lengths

    Hi Zach thanks for the review ! Would it make sense to buy the nova if I’m left handed ? If I flip to the left ... would the sound exit be muted while I play

    • @ZackRamsey14
      @ZackRamsey14  4 роки тому +2

      Interesting question. i just pulled the Enya out and tried playing it left handed and it doesn't lose much volume, the sound just comes out from the bottom very noticeably. If you think you'd be alright with that, I would think it is fine for you

      I guess it depends on what loud enough means for you, but for me it is loud enough. It's not like you would struggle to hear it while playing

    Hey, I'm a guitarist and I'm going to purchase a ukulele and try to see if I can expand my playing ability in the string world of instruments, do you reccomend a wood uke or something like the Enya?

    • @ZackRamsey14
      @ZackRamsey14  3 роки тому +2

      It’s odd, I prefer the enya but if I could only have one, I’d stick with a wood ukulele. It’s just a little louder and fuller sounding. But I prefer the feel of the enya nova. So if feel and playability are important to you, that’s something to consider. Many wood ukuleles I see these days come stock with high nuts and sharp frets. I would not recommend something “like the enya” though. The waterman and every other travel/plastic uke I’ve played are toys. The enya is another level. I’d go enya Nova all day, or even one of enyas wood ukes. Hope that helps!

      The Enya and save yourself $60. I prefer the Enya for many, many reasons. Like I say in the video, only reason to get the Kala or a comparable wood uke is for the more traditional tone and projection.

      Due to it being a satin/matte finish, it does not. But obviously serious marks or dings would show.
