Product Info

The Risa Uke-Solid-Tenor is a surprisingly capable instrument, offering a lot of bang for your buck. The solid walnut build gives it a richer tone than many laminate ukuleles, and the pickup system is perfectly adequate for smaller gigs or recording. This is a great option for intermediate players looking for a well-built, amplified tenor uke with a touch of class.

Frequently Asked Questions
