Gearank High Notes
For the price, the specs of the Caramel CS419 are hard to beat, with solid mahogany wood for the top back and sides, something that’s normally only available at premium prices.
On top of its all solid wood design, it also comes with built-in pickup and preamp system, complete with 3-band EQ and tuner.
And if that’s not enough, it is bundled with a padded gig bag, picks, strap, wall hanger, bridge pins, cable, and more.
Another standout feature of the CS419 is its slotted headstock, which gives it a premium look that’s beyond its price tag.

Pros
Value for money is the obvious advantage of the Caramel CS419, and this is clearly seen in the many positive ratings that it continues to accumulate. But it’s not just about being a great bargain, because people are impressed with its build quality and its tone, especially when plugged in.
Cons
Speaking of tone, there are some who are put-off by its thin acoustic sound, but this is to be expected given its compact size.
Overall
This budget friendly ukulele is definitely a steal, you’ll find it hard to find anything close to what it gives you in its price range.
