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

Walnut generally provides a warmer, more mellow tone than Koa, with less of the bright sparkle. It's a good choice if you prefer a smoother, more grounded sound.
Yes, they're standard banjo machine heads, so swapping them out for higher-end alternatives is straightforward and won’t require modification to the headstock.
The neck profile is fairly standard for a tenor ukulele – not overly thick or thin – but the 17 frets do mean the fret spacing is a little tighter than a full-size guitar, which might be a consideration for some.
