Risa Uke-Solid-Tenor

Jeg har længe ønsket mig det her fine instrument, og valte endelig at forkæle mig selv.
Den har levet op til de fleste af mine forventninger, men jeg må indrømme jeg var lidt skuffet over at der ikke var kælet mere for detaljerne.
Fx er der savet lidt for dybt ved alle båndende så der er lidt hul på siden ved dem allesammen.
Men jeg er meget imponeret over pickup’en den funger meget bedre end den jeg havde i forvejen. Ukulelen har en behagelig klang og det er super dejligt bare at kunde spille uden at være bange for at genere naboerne.
Alt i alt er jeg stadig tilfreds for det er jo i sidste ende lyden det handler om, og den sider lige i skabet efter min mening.

The Risa Uke-Solid-Tenor is surprisingly easy to hold and play given the odd shape. It seems nigh-indestructible. I would have no worries about packing it in a suitcase as long as I loosen the strings first. It sounds great, and acoustically is very quiet. The overall experience feels more like a solid-body electric instrument even though the strings are plastic. So IMO it occupies a very interesting niche that you don't get even with an electro-acoustic ukulele. For that reason I recommend getting one of these as a serious playing instrument, not just for travel or quiet practice.

I deducted 1 star from quality as there are some VERY MINOR cosmetic issues with the build. The wood on the outer two counterbored string holes (G & A strings) is just slightly frayed. The serial stamped into the back could be cleaner and easier to read. Also a few barely noticeable scratches here and there around the points of contact between the wood body and the metal hardware pieces. Otherwise it's very solid, just as the name suggests.
