The other day I realized that in limiting myself to 1.5" nut width (tenor) ukuleles when most of them are 1.375" I am limiting the types of ukes I can buy and play. I'm more comfortable with the 1.5", and make more mistakes on the 1.375" one, but my question is:
Have any of you had to learn to play comfortably on the narrower (i.e., standard) nut ukes? How did you do it?
Have any of you tried but it didn't work?
Complicating this is that my one 1.375" uke is a Pono, which also has a thick neck and higher-tension strings, which also might be factors.
I only started playing fretted instruments (ukes) about seven years ago, and my technique is imperfect at best, but that's a different topic (or is it?).
