Risa Ukulele Review

I realize this site is called Tangi Ukulele reviews, but the Risa ukulele is so unique I couldn't not review it.

Risa Ukulele

Look how cool it is!  If you want an eye catching instrument, then the Risa Ukulele is definitely for you.  If you enjoy traveling, and want to pack as lightly as possible, then the Risa Ukulele may also be right for you.  This baby only weights 16 oz!   




The inovative design of the Risa Ukuleles may put off some of the traditionalist, but I am also interested in new things that work well.  One benefit of the Risa Ukulele is that they are one piece giving them a sturdiness that other instruments cannot emulate.   

Risa ukuleles are electric instruments, hence they lack the resonator or body that amplifies the sound.  This is also why they have a completely unique look.  These instruments are fully tempered and playable.  The instruments may be described as modern.  Below are some stats about the instrument.

For musicians looking for something completely different than the standard ukuleles, look no further than the Risa ukuleles.  These instruments are for both new ukulele players as well as professionals.  As mentioned earlier, these instruments are great if you do a lot of traveling.
