Thanks for bringing 450 reviews to the Uke community around the Globe. Great Uke, really do like the looks and the sound is clear and I don’t mind the bright end. Totally agree with the looks, it has a lot going on for it, well done Caravelle Kitchen. You have a great break Baz and see you when you get back.
I was very, very lucky last week and managed to get a secondhand Super Baritone Prototype from Caravelle Kitchen. I am absolutely over the moon. This instrument is a joy to play and yes, to hold. It feels so good!
Congratularions on 450 reviews....I always recommend your reviews to people looking for a ukulele. Keep on keeping on! ps...great looking ukulele and value.
I just bought a soprano version of this and it’s absolutely superb. For my taste mine looks even more beautiful than this, and sounds so good: you will be heard at your local group and it’s got a balanced, sweet sound. The fretboard is one of the most comfortable I’ve played, it’s in superb condition and so well finished - I really recommend these ukes.
Congratulations on the milestone review Baz. Another excellent one too. As you said, this looks stunning. Great choice of woods especially the top. The grain in that mango is really lovely. My only personal gripe (very small) is the cutaway. I just don’t like or need one. But that’s just me. I’m sure these will sell well as they are obviously extremely well built and at a very reasonable price. Cheers!
Thank you for continuing to bring amazing ukuleles to our attention. Without these videos, I’d be a total ukulele snob, thinking that the Hawaiian K brands are the only ukuleles worth playing. Not to take anything away from them, I love my KoAloah and Kanile’a, but I now know that there are others worthy of our attention. This one is another amazing one. I’ve been on the Bonanza web site a lot as well. So many great small luthiers out there doing great work. Thank you so much!!!
Wow I love the looks! It is beautiful. I think the grain looks great. I like the tie bar and the shape of the head. I agree with you that it should have side dots, and one at the tenth. The price is high but worth it I believe. The sound is bright to me but has a slight hollow sound in it but it does work. The good strings work with this. Nice one overall……thanks for another nice review…. DOC
Congrats on number 450, and you picked a real gem for this milestone review! What a looker and brilliant little ukulele...and just 500 euros? Amazing price for a luthier made instrument. Thanks for the review, Baz, and enjoy your weekend off!
A real stunner, no doubt. I hadn't intended to comment because you said so much about its appearance, design, and features, but when you played it, I had to say something. What tone! I loved it, amazing. I believe these clamshell-construction ukes are here to stay, and they sound great. Great review; we don't mind when you ramble. Congrats on 450!
Really like your reviews Barry, it’s refreshing to not see some paid presenter pretending every uke they come across, (from the same manufacturer somehow!), is the best ever they’ve ever seen. And not to one up other commenters, but I’ve bought four on your recommendations, (and my own taste obvs) and all are excellent. Keep up the good work and enjoy your break mate.
Beautiful piece of art. A masterpiece! Too nice to play. Have your friends admire it while it stands in your living room. If they ask for you to play, take out your other ukulele. The caravelle is just for show. Congratulations on your 450. One wouldn’t know it, based on your refreshing enthusiasm
@@GotAUkulele I compare it when someone brings a beautifully presented dish at a dinner party, and no one wants to ruin it. Too beautiful (not fragile) to cut up.
Great reviews and 450 down. You have personally cost me a small fortune buying baritone ukulele’s that you recommend, but what they hell, you only live once. Keep up the good work.
I came to see your review after reading about a gentleman on UU buying his 170th and last ukulele … but he said he’ll have to stop watching your review videos! I’ve come to the conclusion that you are responsible for the UAS of the members of UU! Congratulations on another great review.
Lots of people look at the fretboard when they play, including me (left-handed on stringed instruments despite being a natural right-hander because I'm missing a LH finger, so no side dots for me unless the instrument's built that way). And, yes, I'm a musician too!
Ahh, so you won't be here until after our presidential election over here across the pond. Perhaps you can play a fanfare or a dirge for us, depending on... Anyway, I love these reviews. When I look at an instrument like this in your hands, the thing that always comes to mind is, what is a ukulele? Or what is a ukulele FOR? With other instruments, a violin, a clarinet, a trumpet, a piano, I think I know what it's for. But I don't know, something about the diminutive size and the variations in approach to the instrument, the fact that it's in some circles more a totem than a musical instrument, a bit of social glue, a conversation starter, a song starter, a let's have a good time starter, as well as a musical instrument that can have some amazing musical qualities, or not; a piece of craft art that either stands out or does not... there are so many axes along which one can attempt to categorize or evaluate a ukulele, it's kind of mind boggling. And yet you always manage to boil it down to something graspable in these reviews. We learn about and get to see the impact of the build quality on you, and we can put ourselves in your place and know how we would feel if that were our ukulele. We get to hear the sound of it, and you point out some of the nice and maybe not so nice features of it. I'm so glad I stumbled into this world. Thanks for yet another super helpful review... #450! Yes, you must be insane, but where would we be without you?!

My pleasure!
Congratulations on 450...three of those 450 resulted in me buying the ukes...keep up the helpful and entertaining work..👏
Thanks Alan!
holy smokes that is GORGEOUS!
Isn't it just?
That is such a beautiful instrument. I would love to hear one of these with worth browns or fremont black lines.
Congratulations on 450 reviews, and yes, me too I've got my 3 because of them. Thanks Barry
Very welcome
As soon as I saw the title, I thought - this'll be a nice one. Not disappointed.
I was very, very lucky last week and managed to get a secondhand Super Baritone Prototype from Caravelle Kitchen. I am absolutely over the moon. This instrument is a joy to play and yes, to hold. It feels so good!
He's a very talented guy!
Thanks for all of your hard work on the channel! You're my go-to source for ukelele info and reviews. Happy 450th!!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks as always Bonnie!
It seems to have the most projection of all the clam shell 🐚 ukes you’ve reviewed. It looks very classy too! Nice review 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Thanks so much Ann!

Love the looks and sound of this ukulele ! Congrats on 450 shows Baz !!!! I have enjoyed them !
Glad to hear it - I must be mad!
@@GotAUkulele You are a mad genius as far as I’m concerned !! Wicked good at these reviews !
Love this brand, lots of cool instruments, simple and elegant . . .(big on the feel)
Couldn't agree more!

That makes it sound fragile - it's really not - it's like a bat! So nice to hold and play!

@@saulchapnick1566 Yes, see your point
Beautiful uke from France
It really is!
Great review as usual Baz. At one stage I thought you were going to make love to it😀😀
Ha ha!
Great reviews and 450 down. You have personally cost me a small fortune buying baritone ukulele’s that you recommend, but what they hell, you only live once. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! (and sorry!)
What a beautiful uke! ❤
Thanks for the video. All the best,
Michał
P.S. Darker strings surely would make it sounding even better.
Agreed on the strings
Nice ukulele, no side dots is bizarre, well done on the 450 🎉
Thanks!

I can only apologise!
A uke suitable for #450! Tis a beautiful thing. Have a great week off.
Thanks!
Pure art -- I just want to stroke it and sniff it! I love the way he has used the knot(?) in the wood to accentuate the lower bout.
Nice isn't it?

… and a BIG DANKE for
Four Hundred and Fifty reviews!
Many thanks!
11:11 I’d like ‘Eatability’ to be a standard factor to score from now on! 😂
Ha ha!
Geez. no side dots? Such a great instrument... who looks at the fretboard when you play? I am guessing he might not be a musician?
Yes he's a musician - don't know any luthier who isn't?
Lots of people look at the fretboard when they play, including me (left-handed on stringed instruments despite being a natural right-hander because I'm missing a LH finger, so no side dots for me unless the instrument's built that way). And, yes, I'm a musician too!
@@petestack Fair enough!
Very affordable for a handmade ukulele but expensive for a dinner! So please don't eat it! Also hard for us humans to digest wood I think.
Ha ha! Noted!
I'm not in France so tell me in British pounds 417 it's great value
Many of my viewers are not in Britain either...
