If ever a question has been posed out of ignorance, it is this one.
I am new to the world of music. I have three ukes; a Kala Trimline Tenor, a KPK Concert and a Oscar Schmidt Pineapple.
I was just messing around with the Kala and I noted that the E String, when playing a F NOTE is 20+ cents sharp. My other ukes, including the cheap OSchmidt only register around five to ten and in some cases 15 cents off on their notes.
Is this the way it should be, and if so, why? How far off is too far off? What can be the reasons?
BTW...these measurements were taken by use of AP3 tuner on the net. I make no representation as to the accuracy of the measurement.
Thanks in advance for any education you might provide.
