Dear RISA

I think the uke looks fantastic, however this video is a major turn off. The guy may as well have been playing an electric guitar. Really, what is the point? The fact that this instrument is a ukulele should encourage the player to do something DIFFERENT with it, not just emulate the guitar.

Really, this is an anti-advertisement.

@snufflehog Absolutely true from the view point of an ukulele player. But as the manufacturer and designer of this instrument I can let you know that this instrument also attracts a lot of guitar players.

Overall it sell much better than we ever hoped. Therefore I doubt that this video is an anti-ad. I am also convinced that this is the best electric ukulele ever. It will be successful anyway.

Is it possible to buy the just the pickups or the pickups and the other electrics in the uk?

[ukuleledotde]

@jeffandbob1 No, the manufacturer doesn't sell single parts of these instruments.

[ItaliasianSaysMuffin]

is this run through any effects or is it just the different pickups etc...?

[ukuleledotde]

@ItaliasianSaysMuffin

Three tracks are used. All tracks played with the Behringer V-Amp 2 with the following settings:

1. Clean Sound Track (both pickups)

Black Twin with Chorus and Hall

2. Distortion-Lead-Sound (neck pickup)

Rectified Hi Gain with Compressor

3. Vocal-Sound (bridge pickup)

Brit Blues (Marshall Emulation) with Auto Wah.

@snufflehog I think you're completely missing the point of an "electric" ukulele. People don't get an "electric" ukulele to merely sound like an acoustic. There are so many other sounds available, as demonstrated in this video. If you were looking for an instrument that was "ukulele-like", stick to your traditional ukuleles

Hey, I think the ukulele is amazing! Can you upload more videos? Where do I find more detailed information?

Hi!　NiceGary&Lespaul.

(I also bought RisoSoplano♪I want to buy LespaulUke!!)

[snufflehog]

@kissing88 but it just sounds like an electric guitar.

[olitherecorderplayer]

Of course, it does not really sound as a ukulele but it can be great for a uke player who want to play in a rock / Hard rock / Metal band and who does not want to play the guitar. I play ukulele and this kind of instrument interest me for its particularities

[Popoldabboy]

so kitsch...

@kissing88 this comment is spot on! i am currently trying to hget a eleuke coz i want to start shredding licks on uke and this simply doesn't sound good on traditional acoustic ukes!

[joelcathey]

@snufflehog This is appealing to me because I'm a uke player, but I absolutely suck at guitar. I do a lot of composition for commercials and jingles and the like. A lot of that stuff calls for guitar. Usually, I have to either hire a guitarist and lose money or spend hours upon hours, take after take to get my guitar performance up to par. This would make my workflow much more streamlined and keep my creativity flowing.

But I kinda see what you're saying.
