Features

  • Authentic Handmade Craftsmanship: Unlike many other brands that rely on factory production, Caramel Ukulele takes pride in its authentic handmade construction. Every ukulele is meticulously crafted by their skilled team, with minimal use of machines. This hands-on approach ensures superior quality and attention to detail.
  • Exquisite Glossy Finish: CAG28 features a unique glossy finish that sets them apart from standard ukuleles. Similar to the meticulous process used for piano lacquer finishes, each ukulele undergoes multiple rounds of careful polishing. The result is a stunning, durable, and glossy appearance that catches the eye.
  • Carbon Fiber Strings for Exceptional Performance: Caramel's specially designed ukulele strings have been extensively tested and are renowned for their excellent playability and clear tone. These carbon fiber strings provide a comfortable playing experience while producing rich and resonant sound quality, making them perfect for beginners and experienced players alike.
  • Premium Tuning Machine for Reliable Performance: Caramel Ukuleles stand out with their high-quality tuning machines. Usually found on higher-priced handcrafted instruments, these tuners feature a sleek black tone, strong metallic texture, and exquisite polishing. With an upgraded 18:1 gear ratio, these tuners offer precise and reliable tuning, ensuring your ukulele stays perfectly in tune.

  • Incredible Instrument. Incredible Value
Color: Red Mahogany
This is a gorgeous instrument with beautiful tone. I bought this and a Kala for my daughter's first ukulele. The Kala came with nothing. This came complete with a case, tuner, strings, straps, picks, etc. The Kala also didn't look or play as nice. The strings on the Kala buzzed. The Kala was also a lot quieter. This Caramel has a sweeter, richer, more robust sound. No comparison and this one cost less. I ended up returning the Kala, and buying another Caramel for my younger daughter as well. The instrument and value is incredible. ... show more

  • Great beginner ukelele
Color: Dark Curly Acacia
I love the look, feel, and sound of this ukelele. I've been a guitar and bass player for 50 years. Playing the ukelele made me remember how fun learning a new instrument can be. This package is great because it contained the ukelele, a gig bag, tuner, picks, & extra strings. I was playing songs from the first day. ... show more

  • Decent lesser expensive uke despite...
Color: Red Mahogany
I'm no expert... this is my first uke. So I cannot compare to the tone of others, but it sounds pretty good... not tinny. I would expect a uke that isn't laminate like this one may sound better, but I didn't want to have to worry about humidity until I knew I liked playing one. After a few days of tuning and letting the strings settle in, it stays in tune pretty well; I haven't changed the strings from the ones that came on it (fluorocarbon). Ordered less than 30 days ago, my only disappointment would be the discoloration that occurred shown in the last pic. The finish is still smooth, but the coloring has changed in this one area only. My hand rests there while I'm thumb-strumming while learning the chords, so this may not happen with someone who is more advanced and strums normally. The body is shaped more "rounded/fatter" than other ukes. I liked the look of that, but I'm not sure it doesn't make it harder for me to strum and keep the neck from moving around as I change chords (again, I cannot compare). Or maybe I haven't mastered how to hold it properly yet. Just pointing out some things to consider depending on your playing level and budget. The action is fairly low... quite low 1st fret. Intonation isn't bad... might be a little off way up at the 10th or 12th fret. Note there is no truss rod in this concert. It shipped quickly and arrived undamaged, although the uke box was in the shipping box without additional packing. There was some packing inside the uke case, however. It's very pretty (mahogany) and the abalone detail is really nice. The bridge shape with the pins adds to the aesthetics too. Looks nice and neat. The bag is padded and it fits the uke snuggly (the more rounded shape may not fit other universal or hard cases - I can't speak to that). It has one small exterior pocket, but you can't get much in it, it's "flat" without sides. I haven't taken it anywhere, so I can't attest to it's durability where the handles are concerned, but it appears to be well made (fabric, stitching, zipper). Accessories: The clip-on tuner seems to work fine and it came with 3 plastic picks and a strap along with the case and a booklet. The strap is adjustable and attaches to the buttons on the uke... not a neck strap with a hook. The booklet has a few chords in it, but if you're starting out, you may want to purchase a theory book also. This booklet doesn't go into much. It offers a story of the company and other models they offer and how to string this concert and an octave graph. The book also covers a guitalele and a bass uke. Lastly it includes a page for maintaining the instrument, so only about 5 of 30 pages apply to this model. Helpful, but you may need more especially if just starting out, so consider that in your budget. 4 rather than 5 stars is due to the discoloration that occurred and so quickly. Overall, for the price, I think it's a good starter concert uke! ... show more

  • Quality without the cost
I bought my Daughter a ukele for Christmas this year and wanted to get one for myself as well as something we can do together as we learn. I love the quality of the build of this and fell in love with the color and design. The case and accessories that are included make this an absolute steal for the price. It holds it's tune very well and has high quality pegs and tight gears. It's a blast to play and very portable. I would recommend this brand to anyone interested in learning to play, or even someone who has played for a long time. I'm very impressed for the price. ... show more

  • Sounds great and holds tune!!
Color: Red Mahogany
I'm new to ukulele, so this was a good, fairly inexpensive model to learn on. It has very sweet sound quality, and holds tune far better than expected! I teach music and got a grant for a class set of inexpensive ukes, but wanted to get myself one that's a little better quality. Mission accomplished. The extras it comes with (picks, tuner, strap, etc.) are a nice bonus, and the case does its job! ... show more
