Questions & Answers
Because it's the same product but different variations/models, I'm pretty sure the reviews get mixed up. I play the tenor, and it's a fantastic instrument.
It connects to the bottom of the bag, just beneath the strap button.
Picks, extra strings, a strap, a wall mount, and a string for the amplifier are all included. No capo.
It's entirely made of laminate, but it sounds fantastic and has a very exotic appearance.

With the Caramel, a lot of people don't know, Tun it down to the 12th fret and position your finger on it, or use an old-fashioned Capo to make sure your strings are in tune. My Ukulele is fairly strong on C strings, because it isn THE ONE FACTOR It has a guitar-style bridge, which means you take out the peg (which is included), tie a knot in your string, then place in the peg groove and push as hard as you can back in,, I kept expecting the peg to pop but it never did,, All in all, it was an ok $100 investment for a beginner,, right now it is awaiting a place on my wall, and I continue to play both my expensive (to me, some ukuleles are $3000.
This ukulele has a nice projection right out of the box, which is unusual for a new stringed instrument that hasn't had enough time to fully open up. I expect the mahogany to become even more refined over time. Excellent tenor uke for the money, or even more money in some cases. The only thing I don't like about this uke is that it has the same flaws as my other ukuleles: The machine heads on tuners have the same ratio as the machine heads on guitars (14:1). 1 to 16: 1) It's made for heavy metal strings. Ratio Tune will be used to replace them. GraphTech's lele For Ukulele has a 6:1 gear ratio. 1 made specifically for ukuleles (GraphTech is not a client of mine, nor do I work for them).
It's insane, and I'm not sure how they manage to keep the prices so low for what they provide. But. The A string on my ukulele has snapped after 6 months of light use. Freaking. Times. br>I'm on the verge of losing my mind. I literally just left it in my case the first night, and when I opened it up the next morning, the string was broken. Fortunately, a spare pair was available. That's how I got the A string. Within two weeks, it snapped once more, ripping a chunk out of the bridge in the process. It just continues to pull away from the bridge. I eventually figured it out and strung it up with the LAST SPARE STRING they sent with the pack, making sure to leave plenty of extra string near the tuning peg in case it snapped again. In less than a week, I was able to accomplish this goal. Thankfully, I was able to reuse it because it only snapped at the bridge peg because I left a lot of slack. Within four months of light playing, it snapped about five more times, despite my tuning down the note to an E every time I put it in the case to keep it from snapping! But it kept snapping, and I'm extremely dissatisfied with this product; I can no longer use the price as an excuse; this is simply unacceptable. If quality control resolves, I'll update my review.
However, the first arrived, which I gave to a needy family. I'll be giving away a few more. This was my second time visiting Guitalele. However, I had been anticipating a Bartione ukelele. This one arrived a couple of days ahead of schedule. br>br>I have five Caramel ukeleles in my collection. The majority of them were in excellent condition when they arrived. I adore them, but a Bartione ukelele is still on my wish list. I'm guessing I'll have six of them in the end. I'm not sure what to think. I've heard a lot about the strings, but I'm satisfied with the strings on all of them. Yes, the longer name strings are preferable, but I like them all. Only one of the six Caramel instruments I brought had a minor issue with the bottom. Caramel invests a lot of time and effort into their instruments. They all sound fantastic and are far superior to what I had anticipated. I have three tenor ukeleles and two Guitaleles, one of which is tuned like a guiter and the other as a Guitalele.
Because I didn't own a tenor ukulele, I purchased this to add to my collection. The quality of the fit and finish were excellent. Wax was used to smooth out a few rough spots on the surface. The ukulele is made of solid wood, but it's difficult to say what kind of mahogany it is. Sapele, perhaps? The tuners are excellent, and I particularly like the pegs, which are more akin to those found on a guitar. Two extra pegs are included. The strings that come with it aren't great and took some time to get used to. The audio quality is excellent - It includes a padded case, picks, extra strings, cleaning cloth, amp cord, peg puller, and a booklet - nothing special, but nice. Extra button batteries for the tuner/pickup are included as well. The tuner is built-in and extremely simple to operate. I connected it to my amplifier and it worked perfectly. A tenor size is ideal for learning, and GCEA tunes it the same. With this uke, you can't go wrong. If you enjoy the hobby, you'll want to upgrade, and you'll be able to give this one to someone who is just starting out! There are a plethora of excellent free resources available to help you learn to play. Have fun!.
This is a stunning piece of equipment. It has a bright, sharp tone that is reminiscent of Hawaiian Koa ukuleles but distinct from spruce top ukuleles, which sound more like a guitar played at high frets. br>br>On the ukulele, the workmanship is impeccable. The butterfly veneers, including the headstock, have a beautiful matte finish, and the beautiful wood patterns match perfectly. Tuners are easy to use and keep the strings in tune. The frets have a nice finish and are evenly spaced. On the tenor I received, the action was set up near perfect, low enough to play easily (and keep intonation under control), but not too low to cause any buzzing issues; the strings that came with the ukulele were also of good quality, and after only a day, they stopped stretching and kept their tuning. The built-in tuner is precise and simple to operate.
For a ukelele, it has a mellow sound. It has a lot of extras, including a built-in tuner, which I really like. This is the third ukulele I've owned. It's been out for a longer period of time. For the strings, it's more in period than my others (it goes out of tune a lot between plays). In addition, unlike my others, it has a slight chemical odor.
