Also: I just found this review of a similar uke from here.

Review:

"Also have the Caramel zebrawood tenor, the Caramel acacia wood soprano and the Rubin pocket uke. Not replacing my Makala MK-CE; this concert ukulele was a gift for my brother (his 1st uke) and is another killer deal from Caramel. It arrived in 12 days undamaged. As usual, the low-res vendor photos don't look much like the real thing; this thing's gorgeous, lots of horizontal tannish/golden streaks (not rectangular like the vendor pix) against a lighter background, a layered 3d effect like a bowling ball, striking and different, paid a little more for the "exotic" mahogany and it's worth it. It has dual white/herringbone binding on front, white on back. The tribal soundhole design and the headstock brand name are engraved, the markers are inlaid, the tuner keys are chromed plastic. Solidly built as are all of my Caramels, equal to my Makala and my Lanikai baritone, flawless construction. Unlike my others, there was no official Aquila tag tied to this one but they perform about the same as the rest, must be Aquilas. If this was my ukulele I'd raise the saddle slightly but my brother may want to keep it like this, at least initially as it's really easy to mash chords; however intonation is pretty much accurate all the way to the 12th fret without setup, impressive (the acacia soprano needed the saddle raised significantly and the zebrawood tenor needed the nut sanded, playability and intonation now excellent for those 2; the Makala is very good in those areas but as the nut and saddle seem glued on I can't do setup and get it perfect like the others). Stays in tune. Very good sound, a really nice tone; to compare it to the Makala (remembering that it has been restrung with the mighty Aquila Supernylgut 103U's and these Caramels have the excellent but less mighty Aquila nylguts): the Makala is a little lower and louder and the Caramel is a bit brighter (see photo of them both side by side, the Makala is a little longer and thicker). The tuner and eq work fine; the Caramel has separate bass, treble and midrange knobs while the Makala has a single sliding tone control, meaning I can shred some metal on a cheap Gorilla amp with the Caramel but not the Makala; both do it with a Fender Frontman 15G. I have no intention of buying a Caramel concert uke for myself, I love my Makala, would never give it up, but..... if I did need a concert I'd have to pick one of these Caramels over the Makala; the Caramels can equal the Makalas and Lanikais in terms of being well built, and playing and sounding very good. Where Caramel wins is: alot of really cool wood finish options as opposed to plain-Jane looking agathis or nato woods, electronics and Aquila strings standard, added little touches like binding (not on all Caramels), chromed keys, etc., and then it costs less anyway, at least for now. This could all add up to one thing: these Caramel people are hell-bent on ukulele world domination and are willing to go toe-to-toe with Makala and Lanikai to get there; me, I'm only too glad to help by buying their stuff. PS: see YouTube videos: "Concert Uke Demo - Caramel CC401 Exotic Mahogany Acoustic / Electric Ukulele." plus: "Concert Uke Demo - Makala MK-CE Agathis Wood Acoustic/Electric Ukulele." Also: awww heck, couldn't resist it, just ordered the Caramel spruce/quilted ash concert uke even though I have the Makala concert; the solid spruce top should make the Caramel nice and bright, something the Makala isn't, plus I want to do my own setup."

trying to keep a low budget since I'm unsure I'll like the electric more than my makala acoustic, or enough to even play it much.
