    Hey, Steve. I just got my CB207A and was a little disappointed. The wood grain didn't look anything like the photo on Amazon and I can see now that yours doesn't either. I guess they do enhance things to sell them. And hooked into the amp it sounded great, but acoustically, weak compared to my Kmise and Kala. It's the body depth. Online it says it's 3.54 inches but I measured it and it's not even quite 3. So now I am emailing Caramel about what to do. I don't know if I can trust the specs on other ukes as far as body depth.

    Yeah OK Spoiler Elert! I purchased one of these and installed a graphic EQ and peizo pickup.... the Zebra wood is fake, it Laminex and the fretboard and bridge are compensate laminated black wood of some sort, but not ebony or rosewood... there is very little wood in this instrument except for the neck... although it sounds good with a pickup installed... Great for stage and recording... FYI installation of a pickup can reveal thing that are unseen like fake wood... Sorry!

    • @stevesstrings5243
      @stevesstrings5243 20 днів тому

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't concur with you assessment of the construction material. It is definitely not solid wood, but it does appear to me to be laminated wood, with the top being a veneer of zebrawood. What is in the middle of that sandwich is anyone's guess. Other's have commented that it feels like plastic, but I think this is due to the grain fill and fairly thick finish. From my perspective, I don't really care what it's made of. I like how it looks and sounds, and that's enough for me. I hope you enjoy yours! Thanks again!

    Hello, i bought a second hand guitar and the bridge came off after arriving 😂, i just bought a titebond glue and some sandpaper, can i fix it myself without a clamp? I have some weight to put on the top of the bridge, around 5L of water. And should i polish the wood until it's smooth? Or should i left some texture to make the area bigger for the glue to stick to? Do you have any tips? Thanks in advance!

    • @stevesstrings5243
      @stevesstrings5243 20 днів тому

      Do not glue it without clamping!!! It will come off again. Clamps are essential to get a good bond. Just putting weight in the middle of the bridge is not enough. The wings of the bridge need pressure as well. Make sure all the old glue is removed from bridge and soundboard. You do not need to polish it. Don't score the soundboard to texture it. That will just cut through wood fibers and invite it to come off again.

    Hey Steve. I know it's been a while since you posted this but I have a question. This Kmise model is my favorite baritone uke for some reason. Fit, feel, action. I know it's not the highest quality, but I like it. Have you ever come across any other brand/model that has the same or similar feel or maybe it's shape? Especially when strumming? I don't do much finger-picking - primarily strumming.

    I picked one up at a thrift store for $10. I was wondering why my chords were sounding so horrible! Is it possible to fix the issue with being out of tune with itself? How involved is that? If it's possible to fix something, I want to. But I'm also realizing that if it's too involved, I won't do it. Thanks.

    • @stevesstrings5243
      @stevesstrings5243 Місяць тому

      If it is out of tune at every fret, it is probably because they put the bridge in the wrong place. You would need to measure the scale length and check the fret positions against the correct positions to figure out if the problem is more than just the bridge position (E.g. are the frets in the wrong places) Anything is fixable, if you know what you are doing, LOL! Fixing it may be an entertaining project, but it may not be worth your time. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Bottom usually wins since I get nice graphics on the back and can more easily work on the insides... good choice. I mostly lead the neck from the corner o f rectangular boxes to get finger space similar to cut away built guitars

    Nice review but why is this the only review that i can find on this uke? Isn't it weird, being this cheap and looking good?

    I bought one, but how does one know when the battery is in need of charging...like before you need to charge them?

    • @stevesstrings5243

      Good question! I don't know. I would just make a point to charge it frequently and certainly just before using it.

    I think that's the same mandolin they sent to Maria. It looks really nice. I Like the finish and all the little details. You did alright for never having played a mandolin before. It looks like a great value. Nice review.

      Thanks! Yep! It's the same model that Maria unboxed. I'm a bit late in posting the review because I had a cold which resulted in laryngitis. I had to wait for my voice to return. To play it, I had to figure out what chord shapes I could manage quickly! After playing the guitar, the mandolin neck seems so small! This mandolin is typical Vangoa quality and value! It is a good option for beginners who want the classic look of the F-style mandolin.

    If you leave the cork in the bottleneck, can you play pop music?

    G'day buddy! Great review. Haven't seen your channel in a while since UA-cam is weird about video reccomendations. Hope you're well. Happy 4th of July. Cheers!
