I have over a dozen ukuleles, including an Ohana Solid Mango worth over $400. I couldn’t resist buying this mango for only $99. Too good to be true? No, it’s the real deal!
PROS:
True gloss SOLID mango! SOLID!!!!
The electronics are GREAT! Built in tuner, volume knob and 3 way tone control! Not to mention it is dead quiet through an amp when not played!
No sharp frets, and everything is what they call “tidy construction”
Sounds great plugged or unplugged!
Comes with gig bag, strap, hangar, picks, cloth and more!
Piezo pickup is good and even across all 4 strings.
Beautiful instrument and nice finish!
Cons:
A few high frets, but not much
Not the best strings (typical)
Action kind of high out the box. Over 3mm at 12th fret.
Intonation gets sharp up the neck…it may be because the strings are too high off the fretboard.
I plan to put Worth Brown strings on it (my favorite!)
Put a bone saddle in and sand it down for a goal of 2mm at 12th fret. That might cure the sharp intonation.
Maybe sand the nut down a bit…but it’s not too high. Out the box it’s very playable.
So the Ohana Mango cost 4x as much as this and it isn’t even electric….is it 4x better? No! This uke is well done! Easily one of my favorites now, and once I adjust it a bit, it should really impress! I also ordered the Caramel Solid Acacia Acoustic/Electric as it’s only $79 (?!?!). Wow! Acacia is basically koa wood not grown in Hawaii. I also have a Caramel uke bass, and it’s great too! Proof you don’t have to spend a lot to get a great instrument! I have ukes over $600 and this Caramel holds it’s own right up with them! Overall I am very impressed!

Butterfly Bocote Tenor
I’m a newbie so my Uke terminology may not be accurate but i’ll do my best to be clear. That being said, there are some pros and cons on my purchase of this Uke. I’ll start with the pros: It’s pretty :-) It appears to be very well made and does not look or feel like a cheapie. The sides of the fretboard are nice and smooth. This Uke feels nice to hold. It came with the strap buttons and a strap, which is nice to have. The (4) string tuners operate smoothly and seem to be well made. I especially appreciate the built-in electronic tuner and pickup jack, and that cord was included. I’ve used the electronic tuner a lot and it seems to work well. It did come with batteries installed as well as a spare set, a nice touch! Cons: There are a few design differences compared to the ad media… the saddle style looks completely different from what is advertised. The head of the Uke is completely different from what is advertised, (although the one it came with is actually better looking). The fretboard appears not to be walnut as advertised, the material used is black and there is no visible wood grain. The ad photo shows a truss wrench in the included accessories, which of course led me to believe that the Uke has an adjustable truss… it does not, nor was there a wrench included. The rosette has a couple flaws (but not enough to make me return it). The bundle image showed a wall hanger, this was not included. There was a soft case included, although it’s not the same one shown in the sales media. There is a small screw that is either halfway in or halfway out, on one of the tuners (see photo). The strings that were pre-installed sounded very tinny and hurt my fingertips, i replaced the strings with Ernie Ball black strings with a low g, it sounds and feels 100% better! Overall, I’m enjoying this Uke and feel that it is a fine instrument for me to get started on :-) Although i do think that Caramel needs to update the listing for this Butterfly Bocote Tenor Ukulele.

Very impressed! Plays well, sounds a good acoustic and electric both. Lots of goodies included: nice strap, picks, extra strings and pegs, and tools to pull pegs and work on the neck. Decent gig bag. Good fit and finish. Well done for $99. Compares well with my more expensive instrument. Of note the package mentions a wall mount and there is not one The description does not mention one but just be aware if you are expecting to get a mount.
