I picked up a Kala ASAP tenor as my first nice uke - before this, I've been playing a Lanikai pineapple soprano that I got for $30 off ebay.
I like the Kala -it's a lot warmer than the Lanikai,but it's also quieter? Or something...it just sort of feels like the tone is a bit choked, like it's not resonating like it should. Certainly the high A isn't as responsive as the Lanikai and slides are a lot more difficult.
Any suggestions? Different strings, maybe (looks like it has Nylguts on it now)? Or is that just the way tenors,having higher string tension, are?
