  • Purchased a few months ago
Size: FreeBoost (23-inch) Color: Sparkle Purple
PROS: Easy to play Attractive design Durable Can withstand temperature extremes and humidity levels CONS: High price Rounded back causes uke to slide onto lap Expensive strap (over $150 as of this writing) CONCLUSION: If you don't mind paying dearly for an instrument worth a fraction of its price, definitely buy this ... you'll love it. On the other hand, if funds are limited, check out the Enya Nova U. It's great fun to play, comes with a free strap, sounds amazing and is only 1/4 the price of the Lava U. They're both great sounding non-wooden instruments but dollar for dollar the Enya's carbon fiber uke is the far better alternative. ... show more

  • Unique--beautiful--NOT wood UKULELE
Size: FreeBoost (26-inch) Color: Sparkle Black
Lava U arrived today charged up in about 3 hours! SO easy to fret, incredible acoustics, and the acoustical "gagetry" (reverb, effects, etc) are lots of fun. The mic--is not a microphone or a gain, and does very little. INSANE that the strap is not available yet--it should be packed with one since the button for it is proprietary. I'm sure it will be just great but another $35 on this already very expensive instrument seems over the top to me. It's beautiful and sleek (I got the black one). The case is definitely a conversation piece, but is pretty much "bad" from the standpoint of not being able to store ANYTHING, except perhaps the usb cable and the useless user's manual in the tiny pocket. The uke fits so perfectly that it's obvious that when the strap comes it will have to be removed to put it into the case. The very smooth body makes this ukulele "slippery" to hold and that makes it very difficult for me. This Lava U tenor--has lots of plusses and a few minuses, but the best of all feature is that I don't have to worry about the wood dryng out in extreme temperature variations. The tuning system is WONDERFUL, easy and the frets and neck size and spacing are absolutely perfect for my hand. The sound is unbelievable (just beautiful) I think I'll love it--but for now after only three hours ON it----some discoveries need to be made. Edited to add: I have returned this instrument After working with this ukelele for several days, I have returned it. The quality didn't turn out to be what I expected. Knobs "jammed" and I was unable to adjust volume. Effects are very nice, and allow for some unique sound, but are less robust than demonstrated. The case has problems, the clasp is defective on this one, the compartment in the case is not large enough to allow for anything except the usb cable, really only for "show" The design IS gorgeous, the carbon fiber body allows for good resonance; the fact that the straps are unavailable --and then will cost $35 or more makes this way too expensive for this instrument. Changed rating from the top to mid-range for this because of these observations. IT IS SO MUCH FUN--just not quite what I expected. ... show more

  • Lava U is AWESOME!
Size: FreeBoost (26-inch) Color: Sparkle Red
I just received my beautiful sparkling red Lava U. It is a high quality and extremely well thought out design. There is supreme attention to detail in every regard - from the packaging, the space case, and the ukulele itself. I purchased this uke to experiment playing with electronic effects which are onboard. These are a lot of fun! This uke sounds great and arrived well setup with nice action up and down the fretboard. Now looking forward to the release of the strap. This is a great addition to my uke family! ... show more

  • Was really excited only to be disappointed, broken amp
Size: FreeBoost (23-inch) Color: Sparkle Red
I received on time today, opened it to find everything included. I press the on/off button, nothing happens so I figured I needed to charge it. So after an hour or so I pull the cord out and the light turns green. I turn the nobs, flip between chorus/delay, and try the on/off button. Nothing sounds any different and it's not shutting off. And the C string has a very ugly buzz. Felt like this was expensive at first; definitely feel like its very expensive for being sent a dud. ... show more

  • Outstanding Travel Ukulele! The Apple of Ukuleles
Size: FreeBoost (26-inch) Color: Sparkle Gold
This is the Apple of electro ukuleles. - The build quality is top notch. - The built-in effects sound great, either acoustic or plugged into an amp. - The strings were decent, but I changed them to Uke Logic hard tension clear. - The sound is good, not great, and not as loud as a solid wood ukulele, or a solid top, laminate back/side. I highly recommend this ukulele, however the price is kind of high. I still have to say that it is worth the price, given the materials, design, and craftsmanship. This will make an outstanding travel ukulele. ... show more

  • Great Sounding
Size: FreeBoost (26-inch) Color: Sparkle Red
I'm one of those addicts who has multiple ukuleles, and this is by far my best sounding one. Something about the way they designed this makes the sound really clear and clean. The neck is really nice, too. It has a nice feel when you play. If you are buying this for the electronic effects, they are pretty minimal. I do like the idea that I can hook this to an amplifier, but without the amplifier, the electronic effects are almost undetectable. I agreed with the one guy who said that a con on this ukulele is the rounded back. It's hard to hold onto. My suggestion is to get a strap - no, not the insane $150 one you can get from Lava (what were they thinking, anyways?) (I guess that's down to $80, but that is still insane). Just get a regular strap and a strap jack ($7.60 on Amazon). The alternative is to put your foot on a little stool. Yes, this is expensive, but not insanely expensive as good quality instruments go. I've seen tenor ukes in the $1500 to $3000 range, and I have a feeling this would compare nicely with them. ... show more
