I've been playing my Kiwaya KS-1 (laminate soprano) lately, and besides the fact that it sounds great for a laminate and has lovely low action, this little uke with its compensated has GREAT intonation! Just for kicks, I inserted a different saddle, and it became an ordinary sounding ukulele. Put the compensated saddle back in, and presto chang-o back to a fabulous sounding uke!
So, if a compensated makes such a big defference in the intonation & overall sound of the uke, why aren't compensated saddles more readily available? I'd like to have compensated saddles on all my ukes!
