CaramelCAG94 Glossy Black Ebony 23" Concert Ukulele for Beginner | Handmade Ukelele Starter Kit

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.

I love the Caramel concert uke! It is beautiful in appearance with a glossy finish and unique details. It is easier to play than the soprano uke I've been playing for 6 years and the sound is good quality too.Unfortunately, the tuner that was included will not tune the C string for some reason, but the uke itself more than met my expectations. I highly recommend it.

Excellent quality. Great price. nice tone.

I did a lot of research before buying this beautiful ukulele & Im glad I did. The sound is amazing, the quality of the workmanship & beautiful grain of the wood are outstanding! Definitely worth every penny. Tuning has been good so far. I expect it to stay for longer periods the more I use it. It is easy to use. Comes with carrying case, tuner & a few other handy items that were listed.

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.

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!

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!

The mahogany light brownish color was $30 less than the other colors and it sounds spectacular. Very well-made and the glossy finish makes it seem even more professional grade
