I have a new kanilea tenor. I'm not sure if it's just because it's brand new and needs to break-in but I find it a little dull with not much sustain. For a tenor, I expect it to have more loudness down to the frets and good sustain -- but it doesn't. My flea soprano is even louder and bends better with good sustain...
Anything I can do to get more out of it? I am trying to play the heck out of it but I just don't get much sustain (almost none). I notice also that everything I put it away and had to start playing again, I feel like I have to struggle to get a better tone. It just seems to improve (a little) the longer I play it. I think it came with nubone and aquila strings. To be fair with this uke, I just had it for a short time. It's just that I had another uke before and it sounded right off the case when I got it.
Thanks.. or should I just take it to Mandolin bros and get it set-up. Will getting a nice set-up do the job and keep playing the heck out of it?
Sorry for all these questions.. I'm a guitar guy and new to a uke -- still getting the hang of it.
