Now, this is the classiest little ukulele I have ever seen. I love the beveling for the armrest and cut away. The shape is very elegant, sleek, inviting and comfortable to use. Caramel, I would love to see this shape done more often on your ukes! Two thumbs up!
The finish is gorgeous and easily the most flawless, smooth gloss I've ever seen on a caramel. The instrument feels very sturdy and well made. I love the wood combo. Just gorgeous.
And she plays like silk! The strings are just so beautifully balanced and smooth to strum. She has a velvety tone, compared with my other ukes, nice resonance, a bit of a quieter sound, and definitely a pro quality, even sound. I hope I can save up enough to buy the boccotte one from this set, before they start raising the price lol.
Accessories are pretty typical for caramel. If you've bought others from them, you've already got more accessories than you need lol. I'm not going to go into those. I like the new gig bag style better though, then the others they've sent. But it does not have a pocket, so keep that in mind.
Last thing I wanted to mention is that I live in an exceptionally cold area and had this shipped in the middle of december, during a deep freeze. I was a little concerned about the headstock being damaged if the strings got too tight from the cold. But caramel had slackened the strings plenty, so it arrived safely. I was very please and relieved.
In closing, this was a big gold star, caramel! I'd love to see more designs like this one. She is a work of art and my new favorite uke.
Previously, I had ordered myself the spalted maple and the koi ebony tenor ukuleles from caramel. I was honestly a little disappointed by the aesthetics of both. This new model more than makes up!
