Caramel CS419 Soprano Electro Acoustic Ukulele Review

[@Reeldin58]

Hi Graham, that's got to be a fantastic deal. I really like the idea of the pin bridge. For me being primarily a guitar player I always find changing the stings on a uke a bit of a faff. This would be perfect. It's good to get in early too because you know what the government said, "All Ukuleles should be electric by 2030!!!!"

[@EagleUkes]

@@Reeldin58 ..thanks Rod...I agree about the pin bridge...string change is so much easier...tie bridges are a real pain for those new ( and not so new ) to stringed instruments....I did laugh out loud at you end remark of all Ukes have to be electric by 2030 ..brilliant...👍😊🤣😂🎵🎶💖...and all for £49.99 with a free return to Amazon if you're not keen for any reason....I reckon the accessories nearly add up to what you pay so it's almost like getting a free uke...👍😊🎵🎶💕

Love the review, what great value for an electro acoustic ukulele. I bought a solid mahogany electro acoustic baritone Caramel as my first (and still my only) baritone and have been very pleased with it but please don't tempt me to buy another ukulele 😂 oh well maybe 🤔. Cheers 👋

@@50mantravelling52 .. Hi Ian...pleased you liked the review...I had a friend who bought a Caramel Baritone Ukulele and loved it....it looked and sounded great...😊🎶🎵👍

Graham, Looks like a complete Ukulele starter kit, everything you need to begin your Ukulele journey. Your review is excellent and easy to evaluate the quality of this maker’s instruments. Thank goodness I’m not looking for a new Uke. I did get up to 9 in total, 7 of which were old makes of Banjo Ukuleles but now down to 2, a flight diana soundwave and a kala KA-ASAC-TE-C. (1 high G and 1 low G). Looking forward to this week’s Favourite flavours on a Friday.🎉

@@ramblingsofaretiree4322 ...Hi...thanks for watching and for your great comment....it is a fantastic starter kit but also of a quality for any soprano player to enjoy. I sold off many of my Ukes but still have 10 and a couple of banjoleles...oops...I must admit my " go to " uke is the Aklot Electro Acoustic Tenor Uke which I mostly play and do our many gigs with....thanks for your support it is very much appreciated...👍🤗🎵🎶💖

[@nigelsouthworth808]

It looks and sounds great. Thanks for the review

[@EagleUkes]

..thanks Nigel...so pleased you found the review useful ...it is a great little instrument at an amazing price...👍🎵🎶🤗

[@reserve161]

I have a Caramel Tenor that I love, and my eye on a Caramel Baritone!

[@EagleUkes]

@@reserve161 ...I'm very impressed with the brand...a friend got a Caramel Baritone a few years back and I loved it...👍🎵🎶🤗💕

[@Sue-lf2qy]

Sounds great and incredible value for money. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@EagleUkes]

@@Sue-lf2qy it is Sue...I can't put it down..my Aklot Tenor is getting very jealous....😂🤣👍🎶🎵🤗💞

[@ChrisMHall]

Hi Graham, Just got one of these based on your review. My first Uke. It took ages to come but it was worth the wait. Thanks. You can always trust a Hall🙂

[@EagleUkes]

@@ChrisMHall ,I'm so glad you're pleased with it Chris ...you get a lot of stuff and a great uke for the money ..have fun.....you can't beat a Hall....👍🤣😂🥰😊

[@paulbanner9612]

Looks nice Graham 😊👍

[@EagleUkes]

@@paulbanner9612 ..it's a little cracker Paul...and if you don't like it you can send it freely back to Amazon for a full refund....win/win...👍😊🎶🎵💖

[@paulbanner9612]

@EagleUkes My local guitar store the same no problem 👍👍😊

[@EagleUkes]

@@paulbanner9612 ...that's great Paul and how it should be....I sadly have no local music shop...😔

Cool Ukulele! Graham Hall Rocks!

@@robcue4543 thanks as always Rob....hope all's good with you and yours...🥰👍🤗

I like the sweater. You wear it well.

[@EagleUkes]

@@elvispresleysongssunginmyc4463 ...thanks...not had a comment about my fashion sense before...👍🤗😊💕

[@lisacompton3661]

Thanks Graham. I always enjoy your Reviews. Excuse my ignorance, but when you play not plugged into amp is it just like a regular ukulele or is it amplified by the batteries? It seems incredible value for money. Best wishes.

[@uknavynige]

I also like low g, also on sopranos

[@EagleUkes]

@@lisacompton3661 ..Hi Lisa...so pleased you enjoy my reviews..I always forget to say something but I do my best...👍😂...when you play without the amp then it's exactly the same sounding as a regular uke....the batteries are there to provide power to the Active Pick up for when you plug a lead in...😊🎶🎵....it's almost a free uke if you add the cost of the bag and all the accessories up...and if you get it through Amazon then you can return it within 30 days for free so you have nothing to lose....👍😊💖💕

[@EagleUkes]

@uknavynige ....I've just changed the strings to Aquila 5U which has a low G and it sounds great though totally not like a standard soprano...I'll do a short review maybe next week with the new strings fitted...hope all's good with you and yours...👍😊🎵🎶💖

[@uknavynige]

Just bought one on amazon, used as new £27.99 for my grandson. I have 32 myself 😱

[@EagleUkes]

@@uknavynige ...wow Nige...I thought I was bad but only about a dozen now...👍😊🎵🎶💖

[@Bevieevans8]

Oh no 😮. That’s another one I need to get now 😅

[@EagleUkes]

@@Bevieevans8 ...haha....it's a lovely little uke but resist if you can Bevie....👍🤗😂🤣🎶🎵💕💖

[@Dave_D.]

I do find it difficult to play my soprano sometimes because the head is so much heavier than the body, I have to support the neck w/ my fret hand. Usually it's not a problem, but certain things can be tricky. I have yet to figure out a strap configuration that I like. Interestingly, if I balance mine like you did, it seems just as balanced as that one, but sitting on the side of the body (as it would rest on your leg), it just flops over to the head side.

[@EagleUkes]

@@Dave_D. ...thanks as always for your comment Dave....I've had quite a lot of sopranos over the last 20+years and never thought I'd be buying another one to be honest but this one seemed to speak to me from the Amazon pages and with the free return of I didn't like it and the really low price I gave it a go and so glad I did....personally with the size of soprano's being 100% balanced isn't a big issue for me and I don't have any problems playing it...having said that I still prefer my Aklot Electro Acoustic Tenor Uke but this one's giving me a bit of fun and I haven't treated myself to a new uke in quite a while....the pick up is really on it as well and I'm a sucker for built in tuners as I'm always forgetting where I put my tuner down...must be me age....I have fairly small hands so playing is less of a stretch as well....👍🤗🎶🎵😀💕

[@williamclarke2020]

Vey sweet sounding! Could you play, "Clair de lune" by Debussy?

[@EagleUkes]

Hi William....I think that one needs to be played on the piano.... bit glad you liked the sound of this uke....👍🎵🎶💖🥰

[@frankdunne8029]

Great value will the Pin Bridge retain the Strings, as I bought a Stag some time ago with a pin Bridge but it did not cope with Tension and came Loose…Thanks Graham..

[@EagleUkes]

@@frankdunne8029 Hi Frank...the pin bridge seems to be fine but I suppose only time will tell...👍🎵🎶
