I would say that the reason why the video did so well and you did not see the sales from it is related to it being popular on Amazon. When someone sees it listed they go to KZbin, Reddit, etc. to search for more info. Especially new people that do not know the value of a specialized store like yours. Additionally, it is accesible to everyone worldwide in different marketplaces. As far as the frustration as dealers I can only imagine what it’s like, it feels like they used dealers for “legitimate” exposure but then undercut them in sales as well. Not sure what the current state is but hope it’s better for you all.

I tried hard to get one of the E6 ukes back when they first came out but every one they sent me had a defect and their customer service was difficult to work with. I like the idea of having a store such as yours be the vendor so that the ones with defects like a back bow in the neck can be weeded out before the customer has to deal with Enya directly.

I own three Enyas. Nova U Soprano (will gift her to the children of a good friend), and Concerts S1 and K5 (in LowG). Love both for the looks and they are comfortable to play and sound really nice. We have an ukulele shop who sells a bunch of Enya models over here in Germany. Don’t like to buy via amazon. Meanwhile, I own a Rebel Creme Brulee Soprano. No comparison - but Enya build beautiful and solid instruments. Am thinking of buying a Feather or E6 one day. Like the effects 😍

My *Favorite* -and one of my dream Ukes- is the E6 in blue. I have some $5-10K dream Ukes, but this is my 1st “dream Uke,” although I do rather fancy the Feather in blue, as well. My wife would like them in Pink. But … she doesn’t really care for copious Ukes, as I do. I’ll be happy to get my 2nd Nova U Tenor ((but in PURPLE, now that more colours are available)) and Bernadette’s signature Uke. 💚

Could you, please, make a comparison video about Enya EUT-MAD EQ and EUT-DR EQ, the both ukes are made of mahogany and have the same price, the both have a pickup (the first one has got an active pickup and the second one has got a passive pickup). They've got a lot in common and that's exactly why we would like to see the difference.

Do they have radius fretboards? Do they help with bar chords?
@SouthernUkuleleStoreАй бұрын
Yes they do but I personally see more people disappointed they don't help than people who feel they do... I think that they assist people marginally if you are playing for long periods but the people looking for a radius fingerboard often are trying to run before they can walk and can't play a barre chord to begin with. Hope that helps? In conclusion, I wouldn't buy it for the radius but it's a bonus if you're into them.

Not at the moment, no. About half the brands out there don't make a baritone as the size is much less popular in the Asian markets they are mostly aiming the ukes at.

Love your videos, Alex -- I didn't realize there was so much to learn about ukuleles! Question: I'm looking to purchase a concert uke under £200. I'm leaning toward either an Enya EUC-MS or EUC-MAD. However, I'm having a hard time telling the difference between them. Other than the gloss finish and slotted headstock on the MAD, they appear to have the same specs. Am I missing something? Any reason to go with one over the other? Thanks and keep up the great work.
@SouthernUkuleleStore2 жыл бұрын
No you've hit the nail on the head... The difference is the gloss and headstock. :) I think the EUC-MS is exceptionally good value for money at £149 from us. They do need some set up work but the quality for the price is undeniable.
@jays3632 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for the quick response. As much as I'd like to buy from you, I'm in the US and I think I'd spend more on shipping and taxes than on the uke!! But I'm very grateful for the help and a big fan of your vids.

I got a tenor MAD from Enya when I started as a beginner. It was not the cheapest model I could have gotten, but it was not a super expensive uke either. Plus, I figured it would still serve me well as I got better. Just looking at it or hearing it made me want to play it. 3 years later I still immediately feel the need to play it whenever I look at it. Also, I love the feel of that fretboard under my fingertips. It's so incredibly smooth. Some of these models are definitely more expensive than a beginner might want to splurge on, but I could wholeheartedly recommend a MAD to a dedicated beginner. Whatever brand and model you finally decide on, I recommend you look for two things in your ukulele: 1. That it's well setup/comfortable to play. 2. That it inspires you to want to play it.

The inlays on the E6 look to be lotus flowers. Playing the four ukes in person, how much of a difference in sound did you notice? I have an M6 and have just been offered a secondhand E6 for a pretty low price (about 1/3 of retail) and am wondering whether it's worth it. The E6 seems to have a brighter tone than the M6. Are they different types of wood?
@ellenroark13952 жыл бұрын
The E6 is made of an all-solid maple, while the M6 is an all-solid mahogany uke. I have both ukes (E6 in pink and M6 in natural) and they sound very different in person. For me, the M6 is good for sweet songs since its voice is mellow, soft, heavenly, and angelic, almost harp-like. The E6 is loud, clean, and clear, as well as the AcousticPlus pickup system. For 1/3 of the retail price, I think you already have a great deal. Enjoy!

Hi, did you play on Enya tenor K6 solid acacia? Very hard find some samples with sound or some reviews. I'm looking forward. This ukulele is beautiful but I don't know if it's worth it 🤔 cost 1000$. Im wondering what do you think of enya compared to other global solid wood brands like millar or koaloha etc?
@SouthernUkuleleStore2 жыл бұрын
I can only speak from my own experience but I don't think the high end Enyas are any better than the E6 or the Feathers which are considerably cheaper. Certainly, they are not close to a KoAloha. Closer to a Millar though.
