Overall, it’s a great uke to have. I love the shape of the uke, but it is spoiled by having a big RISA logo slapped on it. But you shouldn’t pay too much attention to my grumbles. It’s definitely the best pure-electric ukulele I’ve ever played.

Are electric ukuleles any good?
The pure electric ukuleles do have their advantages. Being so quiet when not plugged in, they’re perfect for late-night practice. And at great volume, they’re less likely than electro-acoustics to produce feedback (the screeching sound you get when the amplified sound feeds-back into the instrument’s pick-ups).
What is a pocket ukulele?
The Pocket Ukulele is Kala’s sopranino size ukulele (although they do the smart thing market-wise and avoid the term ‘sopranino’). And it’s certainly tiny. Here’s a photo of it next to a standard soprano. It has obvious gimmick appeal.
What is the difference between an acoustic and electric ukulele?
Acoustic-Electric ukuleles are built more like a standard, acoustic ukuleles, but have a built-in pickup and some electronics so they could be plugged into an amp.

What is a solid body ukulele?
Risa Uke-Solid The Risa Uke-Solid (previously called the Uke-Stick) is a solid body ukulele that basically just amounts to a strung piece of wood with a pickup fitted. Whilst that sounds simple, where it stands out from the crowd is it’s unusual and striking design.
How many frets does a Risa solid have?
This is the concert model of the Risa Solid and is a fifteen fret uke (eagle eyed readers will spot 16 frets, but more on that later), fitted with a passive pickup and it really is as simple as that. They also do a Soprano and a Tenor, but for me the former looks too small and the Tenor overly large (well, d’uh!!)
What is the difference between the Eleuke Risa and Risa?
The Risa being passive means that it needs to get plugged into a powered amplifier with a standard guitar cable. The Risa also lacks shaping controls (tone and volume) which are present on the Eleuke meaning all adjustments on that front need to be made on the amplifier.
