I picked up a Lanikai LU22CC Concert Ukulele yesterday from Guitar Center. I'm new to ukuleles and started with a soprano model but found it just a bit small for my hands, so I decided to go with the concert Lanikai model. I like the ukulele very much but I feel the strings are a bit high as you go down the fretboard. One of the luthiers at GC mentioned that they can lower the strings at the bridge to improve the action, but from past experience with guitars, if a luthier doesn't quite get it right one can have a bit of string buzz from the first few frets.
Like I mentioned, I'm new to ukuleles and would like some advice please. Is this something that should be attempted? On guitars the neck is at a slight angle from the body, whereas this ukulele, the neck runs parallel from the body. I hope I have explained that right. So I'm wondering if lowering the bridge might create a problem.
Thank you guys.
