Hi guys
I recently bought a Ukulele off Thomann.de (the Kala Makala Concert, MK-C) but only later found out what people actually mean by "setup", which I thought to be only tuning related stuff. Now the Uku is on the way, probably here tomorrow or the day after and I have no idea how to tune or any tools. I don't know of any professionals in the place I live either and I heard doing the setup costs around 40€~ anyways, which doesn't seem to be a very good investment for a 75€ Ukulele.
So I wanted to ask; how do the Makala ukuleles usually look like out of production? Are they nigh unplayable without setting it up or can I use it for a while to practice? How will I be able to tell how "flawed" the ukulele is and if it is handicapping me? Can I teach myself to set it up (the saddle/nut I'm assuming) with household tools?
Thanks in advance!
