    I own the NEW CLEARWATER TENOR ELECTRIC UKULELE IN ROSEWOOD, and have for several months. Firstly, the sound quality is superb. I play with guitarists and the tinny sound of a soprano often sounds cheap and shallow compared to the guitarists. Not so with this instrument. The electric pickup system is very good, offering clear feedback and huge volume. The frets take a bit if getting used to, especially from a soprano uke, but they offer a well spaced area to play. The dark rosewood styling is different and looks great, as well as the stylish f hole on the body. The tuning is good, staying in tune for several days, and each string rarely straying far from the desired note. I recommend this uke to anyone with an eye for quality and playability.

    Has anyone tried the solid telecaster shaped clearwaters that are cropping up on ebay? Quite fancy an electric for quiet practice and am torn between these, Eleuke and Risa.

    I just got a Clearwater Pineapple soprano for the pick-up feature but I can’t get on with it.Changed strings immediately for Aguilas and it still sounds shocking.I don’t know if the shape affects the tone but I find it virtually unplayable which is a great shame as I look set to play my first uke gig in a few months.HELP!

    Hi. I need to revise my previous review.Played around with tuning and managed to get it about right.Sounds quite sweet but I am afraid struggles to hold the tuning for much more than a song.Definataly a wise move to dump the original strings.Happy strumming.
