Hello! Everyone,
I am just wondering what are the ways to assess whether the uke has the right action?
I have been told by a uke sales person that when I press on the third fret, the string should touch the first fret.
But I also learned from some other people that it shouldn't touch the fret.
For my uke, a Kala sold acacia tenor, when I press on the third fret, the string doesn't touch the first fret. However, the gap is pretty small.
I still feel that the action is a little bit high, especially after fifth fret. The shop that sold me the uke told me that the uke is properly set up.
So, I am wondering whether it is my technique or there is a problem with my uke?
Thank you guys for any suggestion.
