My cousin gave me this tenor uke that he wasn't using anymore but I think the fret space is too huge for my fingers that I can't even form chords that require fingers to stretch over one or more frets (im now only able to form C Am F G Em and D-sort of BUT I just bar the three strings with my thumb) . And I also can't bar chords with my index Middle or ring because it just mutes the strings. The strings are also very rigid and I will sometimes get a dead twang sound when I strum a chord. I think that's because I don't press on it hard enough - but it temporarily dents my fingers, is that Normal? I've only just gotten this uke 2 days ago and I already feel demotivated to play it because my fingers are small.
