Loved in the USA

The Caramel BEG95 Butterfly Bocote Baritone Ukulele offers a unique blend of craftsmanship and visual appeal that suits players looking for a quality acoustic-electric instrument. Its body, made from Bocote wood, stands out with beautiful natural grain and a glossy finish that not only looks elegant but also contributes to a warm, rich sound. At 30 inches, the baritone scale length is longer than standard ukuleles, giving it deeper tones closer to a guitar, which is great for those wanting a fuller sound.

This model includes carbon fiber strings, which feel smooth to play and deliver clear, resonant notes, suitable for beginners and more experienced players alike. The instrument’s tuning machines are high-quality with an 18:1 gear ratio, meaning tuning stays accurate and stable, an important feature for live or recording settings. The ukulele’s weight at over 6 pounds might feel a little heavy for some players during long sessions, and it requires batteries for the electronics, which is something to keep in mind if you plan to use the electric features often.

This ukulele is ideal for players who appreciate handcrafted quality and a distinctive look, while seeking a reliable instrument with good playability and sound for both unplugged and amplified performance.

Some might find the weight of around 2 kilograms a bit heavier compared to other ukuleles, and the reliance on CR2 batteries for electronics means occasional maintenance is needed.

High-quality tuning machines with an 18:1 gear ratio ensure precise and reliable tuning, a feature usually found in higher-priced models. However, it is worth noting that the strings are made of nylon, which might not be the preference for all players. The electric aspect powered by two CR2 batteries allows for amplified performance, but some might find the need for batteries a bit inconvenient.
