The strap buttons are held in place by screws. They are, however, only held in by the uke's body and have no other support, so they can easily strip out of the body material. When replacing something, be cautious. We had one strip that had come loose, but we were able to reattach it using super glue without any problems.
Yes, I purchased mine in December 2020, and it came with strap buttons, despite the fact that they were not advertised:

The Enya Nova is available in both soprano and concert versions, which I own. This is a comparison of the concert and studio versions of Enya Nova. br>br>Overall, the Enya Nova soprano is a $60 travel ukulele that I am very pleased with. In this price range, the sound quality is adequate. The weather, temperature, heat, scratch, and dent resistance of the plastic body is superior to that of wood. It's only $60 if it's broken or lost. It's a little easier to transport than other sopranos because of its thin body. The Enya Nova has a fantastic out-of-the-box setup. the- box. The number of actions is zero. The first fret is 6mm wide, and the second fret is 2mm wide. At the 12th fret, the thickness is 7mm. The soprano Enya Nova has a wider fretboard than the concert Enya Nova, according to my ruler. br>br>Intonation is perfect up the fretboard. The nut on the soprano is 35mm. The distance between G and A is 28 millimeters. The nut width on the concert Enya Nova is 34mm, and the distance between G and A is only 25mm. That's a significant difference, and chords like D and E are noticeably easier on the soprano. People who believe concert ukuleles have more fretboard width than sopranos should consider fretboard width rather than length. The fretboards on both Enya Novas are slightly radiused. Both have four fret markers on the front but none on the sides, so I added some fret marker stickers to the side. br>br>According to my kitchen scale, the soprano weighs 15 ounces versus 20 ounces for the concert, and the concert weighs 21 ounces. 7 inches long, 7 inches wide at the lower bout, and 1. 25 inches wide at the upper bout At its thickest point, it is 9 inches thick. The performance is 25 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 2 inches tall. 1 inch in thickness The soprano is easy to play without a strap, even while standing up, due to its lighter weight and smaller size. br>br>Like the concert Enya Nova, the soprano has 13 frets on the body, one more than the majority of sopranos. I can play barre and closed chords up to the 17th fret with ease thanks to the cutout. In this area, the Enya Nova has more tone than any other inexpensive soprano I've tried. br>br>While the Enya Nova soprano has a standard 13-note range, The scale length is 5 inches, with a total length of 21 inches. Most soprano ukuleles are 21 inches long, but this one is 7 inches long. I'm guessing it's to accommodate the extra 13th fret and the Enya headstock, which is taller than average. br>br>The soprano's sound volume isn't as high as the concert Enya Nova, but it's higher than any budget-priced wood soprano I've tried. The tone is good for a plastic ukulele, but not as rich as a good wood ukulele (the concert Enya Nova is the same way). br>br>Strings have a low-density structure. Fluorocarbon strings with a high tension, similar to what Enya uses in the concert version. These are good for strumming but sloppy for finger picking. I'm going to have to replace them as soon as possible. Perhaps a pair of Martin M600s or D'Addario carbons. br>br>The soprano Enya Nova case is slightly better than the concert version, with a sturdier, smoother zipper and a backpack strap that the concert case lacks. br>br>Enya claims that these ukuleles are made of carbon fiber, but this is not the woven carbon fiber that you see in many expensive consumer and industrial products. This ukulele is primarily made of plastic, with a small amount of loose carbon fibers mixed in. I'm not sure how much the fibers help the base plastic out. br>br>At the moment, there are a few other ukuleles that are mostly made of plastic on the market. The Kala Waterman is the most popular model, but the ones I've seen have poor action and intonation, which is much more difficult to fix on a plastic instrument than it is on a wooden instrument. The Outdoor, Lava U, and Magic Fluke ukuleles sound better than the Enya, but they're a lot more expensive; Flight and Magic Fluke make excellent ukuleles with plastic bottoms and wooden tops, but they're more susceptible to heat and humidity damage than the weather-resistant ukuleles. Enya is mostly made of plastic and is resistant to a variety of conditions. I tried a couple of much less expensive plastic ukuleles (under $30) and they all sounded terrible. Most of them are mediocre and can't be tuned precisely. When it comes to functionality for a low price, the Enya Nova is hard to beat.
I have two concert novas and couldn't wait to get my hands on the soprano when it was released. Enya has never let me down. They have a low action, are simple to play, and sound fantastic. It's bright and clear, with a surprising amount of volume for such a small ukulele! I prefer any of my novas to my ukuleles, which are ten times the price - They're that good!.
It's easy on the left hand (chord hand), long-lasting thanks to the carbon fiber construction, and sounds fantastic! The tonality is perfect. It's a gentle, unobtrusive sound. br>br>In addition to the high-quality materials, This instrument includes a tuner and an extra set of strings, as well as a high-quality hard case. As a music teacher, I'd seriously consider purchasing a set of these ukuleles for my students. As an adult who usually plays larger ukes with straps, I'll point out that this one lacks a strap nut. There are a few options for dealing with this problem, including using a hug strap or possibly gluing a nut to the body. br>br>Overall, the benefit of a great playing instrument would outweigh the cost of purchasing one. This size is ideal for children or adults who enjoy traveling and playing!.
set up The fact that my mini ukelele came with strap buttons, despite the fact that it was not advertised, was an amazing surprise: Despite the fact that it was not a deal-breaker, I believe it is an important feature. breaker. I was very pleased to receive a tuner with battery, extra strings, a soprano size, and a carrying case with shoulder strap for such a low price; I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this ukelele to other travelers: br>br>Recent changes: br>br> I've been trying to play my mini every day, but it seems to go out of tune every two days, and just a few minutes ago, while tuning string A, the C string came out of the bridge, which I initially mistook for a broken string. It took me a long time to get it back in place, and no matter what I do, string C does not appear tuned on the tuner. I'm a little disappointed because many youtube reviews claimed that, unlike wooden ones, this one wouldn't go out of tune as quickly, making it ideal for beginners like me. However, my experience has been quite different:.
