So I've had my Lanikai LU-21 Tenor for a few days now, came with some nice Aquila strings. Though I've been having problems with tuning it correctly.
In one method, I tune to the regular GCEA, and when I tune each string in the open position with my own tuner and with http://www.get-tuned.com/ukulele_tuner.php , it sounds just fine.
In another method, I'll just tune the C string with an electronic tuner, then hold down the 7th fret to tune the G to, and do that for the other strings. The problem is, when I use this method, playing the now-tuned strings openly makes them sound out-of-tune.
If I tune with the first method, and play a G chord (0232), the G string and the E string are both playing SHOULD make the same sound, but they don't - they sound out of tune. But when I just play all the strings openly, it makes a perfect C6 chord sound.
Are my strings out of wack over just a few days of casual play, is it the poor build of the uke, is it detonation...I'm so confused
