I've had a Risa for a couple of weeks now. It came with a gig bag so I went looking for a case. It turns out the case for a Ko'olau solid body fits well, so I have one of those as well. The fit and finish on the Risa are excellent. It plays well, the frets are smooth, and the controls work as expected. I have 2 amps: a Roland Microcube and a Fender 5X7 Tweed Classic. The uke sounds fine through both. I've not played one of my guitars in almost a year, so I had to get used to the Risa. I assume everyone knows that a solid body uke sounds nothing like an acoustic, no matter what adjustments you use. As others on this forum have said, it's more of a steel string guitar tuned GCEA. I like it a lot.
I made the videos while listening to a timing track and then put them together in iMovie. The Risa goes to the Fender amp, which has a MXL990 microphone within a foot of it and going through a tube preamp and into the camera.
