Peripole is one of the music education specialty stores in the US, although they do sell to everyone, and there are discounts for registering with them--and even greater discounts for music educators.
They have developed a relationship with Enya to be the sole educational vendor for Enya products. At this time, that means selling the Enya Nova and the EUT-200A, which they are calling the Peripole Classic Ukulele.
I have owned and played a lot of Enya instruments over the years and it is a brand that I can wholeheartedly recommend to beginners. I have not played any of their mid-level ukuleles, but would expect the same attention to detail they place in their entry level ukuleles.
The Peripole Classic Tenor is a standard Enya Laminate, and it is louder than any other Enya laminate (regular or HPL) that I have played. That doesn't mean it is off the scale in terms of volume, but it can hold its own...and it sound lovely. And of course, it comes with that wonderful kit of stuff, even if you don't use the capo or fingershaker.
In music education, we often have to buy from an approved vendor--and Peripole is one of those vendors in most places. It is nice to have Enya as a choice.
Since their introduction, Enya has been holding true to their own pricing (making exceptions from time to time for Amazon stock, etc.). I'm not seeing any Enya tenor that is less expensive than the Peripole Classic, especially with the discount added on (even though you do have to factor shipping into the mix).
So...absolutely recommended as a choice for a beginner, or for schools, although I'd recommend the concert kit for most schools.
