The Caramel CC102A Concert Ukulele is a concert sized uke which is a tad bit bigger than the soprano size, so ukes of this body size are a bit louder and have a slightly warmer tone.

The Caramel CC102A also has a very distinctive patterning, which it owes to its zebra wood construction. Because this uke is made from laminated wood there isn’t a huge difference in tone, but the uke definitely has an aesthetic flair which is impressive for it’s price.

Interestingly, the uke also comes with a bone nut and saddle. Bone, as opposed to plastic, helps to increase the amount of vibration transferred from the strings to the body. This gives the uke a richer and fuller tone when compared to instruments which use plastic for their nuts and saddles.
