Blindfold Sound Test! Can you tell the difference? Enya EUC-X1M Unboxing + Review!

[@awiealissa]

Great video, I love that you don't only share your opinion about it, but also that of your students 😊👍

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thank you for noticing that :). I really don't want to have what we called "rose colored glasses" when reviewing a product. In other words, I want to make sure that I don't think positively about something just because I got it for free. I really hope it helps people make the decision that is right for them :).

[@Teeum5]

Normally I'm not interested in ukulele reviews cause I already own some nice instruments. But as I follow your channel I decided to watch this video and I must say that I was really impressed how fair your review was. To me, as an advanced beginner, it was good to see, that you tested the ukulele at higher frets. As far as I know that is the most difficult "area" for any ukulele. They all can sound good on the top frets where your students played it. It was heart warming to watch you listening carefully during your test what made me even trust more in what you're doing and I must say that Enya found a great reviewer in a person like you... Hopefully they do know that. 😉 Last but not least I won't forget to mention the most important thing... even the most affordable instrument sounds good when it is accompanied by your singing!!! Have a nice day, Katie and thank you for all the great work.

[@OneMusicSchool]

You made my day. I can't thank you enough for watching, and I'm so incredibly grateful that you left me a comment that was so encouraging. Thank you. I put so much time and effort into my reviews. In fact, it takes me three times as long to make a review video than a tutorial. Thank you for noticing the detail that I put into the reviewing products. Your encouragement meant the world to me, and I'm so happy that it helped you. Thank you again, and I hope you have a great day :).

[@solstudios941]

Heheheh, i couldn’t stop smiling when my beautiful EUC-MAD came onto the screen. I was surprised by your students’ reactions!! I’ll be sure I recommend this uke to friends who come to me for suggestions. ☺️

[@OneMusicSchool]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching. I was surprised as well, and I’m glad I had them try a blind sound test. I guess it goes to show that the aesthetic of the uke is great, but it’s great to just heart and feel it to truly know if it’s right for you. I hope this helped ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

[@dannyjohnson9592]

Another great review Katie. I dont own a Enya, lol but I'm going to. I really like the Mahogany Enya with the slotted head stock. It was beautiful and they are all very affordable with some super nice featuures. I'm getting to look on Amazon now. Thank you for your hard work its very much appreciated.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Danny, you won't be disappointed with the mahogany ukulele. It is so beautiful, and it plays like a dream :). I am so impressed with Enya, so I hope you like it.

[@adasilva26]

I’m buying the EUT-MAD in blue and I just cannot wait. From all the KZbin videos, it’s my favorite sounding ukulele.

[@bridgetpollock6760]

I paid $49 bucks for it on Amazon. It was a lightening deal I stumbled upon. I love the tone. The set up is perfect. It's the first concert uke that I have fallen in love with.

[@oneseekinglight9491]

I have one currently coming in the mail. I purchased it as a ukulele that can be left in the car or taken to the beach etc and won't have problems with the weather etc. HPL is perfect for this reason and it's a good cheap alternative for this purpose. Also have the EUT-MAD which I lovely. Thanks for the comparison review.

[@pearlsandybank]

HPL is magical. I have the Enya EUT X1 and the sound is incredible.

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's awesome! It's great to see what other Enya customers think about the ukes :). Thanks for leaving your feedback.

[@amandaheshka5684]

Great video! I received my Enya EUC-X1 (my first ukulele) in the mail a week and a half ago, and have been playing it non-stop! On Canadian Amazon it was just over $100 dollars, and feels like great quality and value. I love it! I really appreciate your reviews, especially when the products end up being great value for the cost.

[@OneMusicSchool]

That's awesome! It's great to see what other Enya customers think about the ukes :). Thanks for leaving your feedback. I'm sure it's going to helps someone in the future. Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad that you like my review videos. I put so much time and effort into each video, so I appreciate that you watch them.

[@michaelprozonic]

I purchased 2 of the Enya HPL concert ukes for my grand daughters and they are well made and sound nice. Great starter instruments

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching :).

[@sunshineguitar7536]

This is great! Thank you for showing us the difference.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so happy that you liked listening to the differences between all of the ukuleles. I really hope that it helped :).

[@sunshineguitar7536]

I'm still thinking if I should buy a ukulele or a guitar, and I can't decide. Do you have an advice for me? Before, I played violin and my fingers are long.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I think you would be successful with any of those choices. I think it would depend upon your budged. Some people choose the uke because some models are more affordable. Let me know what you decide.

[@sunshineguitar7536]

OK. Thank you! I'll let you know.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I know it's a hard choice.

[@arc1105]

☝🎶🏡 Enya ukuleles are impressive. This is a great deal with the included items, it looks and sounds good too. The strings going thru the bridge, has a very clean look, and strap buttons are included! Like the sound of those strings, bonus to have the two string choices, and the gig bag, it's blue inside! All those extras at this price point is amazing. My first uke didn't come with a gig bag, or anything Enya included. If I had bought all the accessories that Enya provided it would of cost the price of this uke package, wow. Nice to hear your students objective opinions. Helps to hear other's thoughts when researching a uke. That was cool, I see your second student knows the value of a good uke perfume. By the time I tapped Yes to the question, I saw 89% agreed and would buy this Enya ukulele. Yeah, I like. Great review. Thanks Katie. Don't know about your area, yet we have snow now🙌 Hope your having a hot chocolate day.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I do think that they all are an incredible value, and I can see where Enya had to sacrifice a few details in order to make the ukulele more affordable than the other models. I wish that my first ukulele was one of these, to me honest :). I'm glad that you liked hearing the opinions of my students. I want to make sure that I never have rose colored glasses on when I review. I see it as a huge responsibility. I have't even looked at the poll yet :). 89%? WOW!

[@arc1105]

@@OneMusicSchool yeah, 89% at the time I wrote my comment. I understand what you're saying about Enya making some sacrifices. I did the math and excluding all the extras, this uke is like $30 or less, so a brilliant first uke. I see what you're saying about rose colored glasses. I have noticed in your reviews you do tell it like it is. I can imagine the responsibility you have. There's so many reviews for each model and company of ukes that I've seen some reviews that just don't jive with, as you said, the "collective brain". I trust your judgement.

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thank you. I put SO much effort into each review, and it actually takes me 3 times the amount of time to film and edit a review than it does a tutorial. I'm glad that you watch and comment. I really appreciate it.

[@theuketwins6809]

The first ukulele we ever bought is a concert Mahagoni ukulele which costed 65 €! It’s good for beginners.. we still play with it and it’s amazing. Few days ago we ordered an Enya concert ukulele (cutaway) and we can’t wait until we get it. It costs 103 €. I hope it’ll sound good. Thanks from Germany

[@Dion1957]

Great sound on the EUC!

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thanks for watching and for leaving you thoughts about what you liked 😀.

[@jammons731]

I have had the blue EUC-MAD for about a week and I love it! Would love to lay hands on the tenor for comparison but I don’t know if I want to stick with a brand or try and diversify my future collection 😂

[@OneMusicSchool]

I would love to try a soprano or a tenor as well. That would be great to know what the other models sound like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your purchase ☺️. I appreciate it.

[@thinkdee_]

Which of the three is your pick? And would you recommend all of them for beginners?

[@caitlinsandage5346]

I picked up a blue concert Enya at a pawn shop for $39 as my second uke it is head and shoulders above my luna that was more expensive than even the retail price of the enya. The Enya is so much easier and more comfortable to play.

[@OneMusicSchool]

I love that model as well :).

[@johanak9267]

[@OneMusicSchool]

Thank you! I put so much effort into each video, so thanks for watching.

[@katiecnaranjo]

Hey Katie! I loved this video! You did a very good job! It feels like forever since you've done a ukulele unboxing, and that little one was adorable. I bet it a little difficult to play though. I have something to point out. I think you did a great job with the description, but at one part you accidentally wrote jut instead of just. I don't want to insult or criticize I just wanted to help!😊 Also would you consider doing vlogs again? I really enjoyed the ones you did and loved seeing your family too. Or even a live stream. Sorry for the paragraph. Love you!

[@OneMusicSchool]

No, thank you for seeing the mistake ☺️. I’ll fix it.

[@katiecnaranjo]

No problem! I just thought you might want to know.☺ Have an amazing day! God bless!

[@katiecnaranjo]

also I just bought a ukulele from Sun Star Music. I love ukuleles so much though and I kinda want to buy another uke. So addicted!

[@arc1105]

Hey@@katiecnaranjo great uke minds think alike. I bought a Sun Star too😁 Like the idea of supporting a family run business. Plus the bonus was they had an amazing sale. It was the only way I could afford their Solid Top Acacia Tenor. They feel so good in hand and sound great. Hope you're having a sunny day🙏 Edit: it's snowing here now🙌 and which Sun Star did you get?

[@katiecnaranjo]

ARC 110 It's snowing here too! That is so COOL! I want to get a tenor too. I have the solid top spruce concert. Did you see Bernadettes video on Sun Star?

[@april7643]

Thank you for your excellent review and all your excellent videos in general. I just received my Enya E UTMAD tenor and I love it. I find conflicting information as to what kind of strings are on this ukulele. The website says Japanese fluirocarbon but I have seen other reviews that say the strings are Daddario. Do you know? Thanks!!

[@kellykaminskas9747]

Hi Katie! You mentioned that you have an HPL Martin that you love. Did you demo that one in a video? Id like to check it out. Side question, what was the tune you first played in this video? Its familiar, but I cant name it, ha! Thanks! K2

[@meiamei1273]

Hi Miss Katie! I love the ukulele cause it is so affordable! I have a question: what is the difference between the x1m and the x1? Are they the same in material? In overall which do you think is the best between the 3 ukuleles? Is the sopranino laminate? As always thank you so much for the unboxing! I enjoyed it!

[@OneMusicSchool]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and I hope it helped :). I would say the main differences between the X1M and the X1 are the gig bag, the head stock, and the tone. If you listen, one has a brighter tone than the other. The gig back on the X1 is excellent and feels like memory foam. The other gig back is nice and padded, but not like the X1. I hope that helps.

[@oikhena]

It would have been great if when you compared the ukuleles that you put the name of the one you're playing on the screen. But a great video :)

[@OneMusicSchool]

Great suggestion.

[@michellezareas8276]

Great review, thank you Bernadette! Question for you, do you know whether, or not Enya still make this electric model? I couldn't find it... Thanks!

[@OneMusicSchool]

HI, I'm not Bernadette. I'm Katie, and thanks for watching. If you couldn't find it, chances are they discontinued or they're sold out for now. Glad this video helped you.

[@michellezareas8276]

@@OneMusicSchool Hi Katie! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am a fan and subscriber of your chanel. I love your vids! They're so helpful. So, thank you for that. I am wondering if, perhaps you might be able to assist me with contacting Enya, please.I have reached out twice and have not received a response. I have a debilitating allergy to nickel sulfate and had to give up the ukulele because of it. Evo gold frets are the best option for me. That said, it would be much easier and more cost effective, if the manufacturer could install these frets. Any chance you have an in with Enya, please? I would be forever grateful. I am dying to play! Thank you for your time and consideration. All the best!

[@OneMusicSchool]

HI Michelle, I'm so sorry hear about your allergy. That's awful and I can't imagine what you're going through :(. I'll try and see if they respond. Have you contacted a local luthier that might be able to install different frets on one of our current ukes? Luthiers refret guitars all of the time, so that could be an option.

[@michellezareas8276]

@@OneMusicSchool Katie, thank you so much for your swift reply, as well as your willingness to assist. Yes, I have been conferring with a luthier and it turns out that the work is more complicated than one might imagine. I am learning a lot about the technical side of stringed instruments, to say the least! Lol. The main issues is the cost of replacing frets and labor runs between $150 and $400 depending on the circumstances. For example, whether or not the neck of the fret board is bound would push the price to the higher end of the spectrum. As I am sure you can see, this would be quite and investment for a beginner instrument. Enya’s M6 Blue Mahogany, electric, ukulele is a great price for a beautiful instrument. Enya’s website states that these are made to order, which means that upgrading to Evo gold frets shouldn’t be more than $33.00-$50.00 according to my research, if Enya is wiling to do the work. The caveat is, I also need to know what the finish material is, due to my allergies. I am seeking a polyurethane finish, as it is nickel free. High gloss would be best. That said, it must be a true polyurethane, as I have equally debilitating allergies to methylthiazolinone, and anything in similar families. An ingredients list would be the most helpful. This could be a long shot, however. I know, it’s a lot! Thank you so much for your time, it is greatly appreciated!

[@OneMusicSchool]

Hi, I co tastes Enya and they said to contact them with this email. Email address, [e-mail] I had a thought. Have you considered the Flight travel ukulele? It’s made of plastic and wood, but the tone is fantastic. It’s only $60 for most models, and I think that would be a great option for you to start and then see if you want to purchase a custom made uke.

[@mhoward1011]

I am researching to buy my first uke and I am leaning toward the x1m, I live in Arizona with the HPL, do I need to use a humidifier?

[@OneMusicSchool]

Good question! No, the HPL will be fine, let me know if you need anything else 😀.

[@mhoward1011]

Thank you for your response, I did have a good up question. Regarding changing the strings, from your experience with the strings going through the body, is it difficult switching the strings?
