How do I find someone that "knows" about Ukueles and making sure they are set up?
So first off, I am brand new to playing the ukulele. In fact except for years of playing percussion back in high school/college band (which is obviously much different) I am new to any type of instrument, especially obviously stringed ones.
None the less I decided I really wanted to learn an instrument and I chose the ukulele. But I know very little. I ended up getting a Oscar Schmidt OU10T (Tenor) for my 47th birthday from my dad
My question is it SEEMS the action, or string height, seems kind of high to me, and If I am going to dive into this I would love to make sure my instrument is set up correctly. I have zero appitite to try to do it myself and mess up my new instrument.
My father bought it from a local music store, but it is one that is known I think more for band instruments and the like with a handful of guitars and things like ukuleles tossed in (Music and Arts if anyone has heard of them) so I have no idea if they set it up at all.
I am in Columbus Ohio if anyone knows the area. My question is how do I find a place or person that knows how to do this? A few places SELL them but I think it is a secondary afterthought more than anything. If stores are skilled at guitars etc does the knowledge transfer or do I need a Ukulele person?
am I over worried about this?
thanks
