I'm going to put my head on the line here...
I saw some Dolphins for sale in a local music shop and seeing as everyone was raving about them, I thought I'd pop in just to hear if they were as good as everyone says. The one I played sounded terrible!! The sound was ok, but the intonation was bad bad bad.
As a beginner myself, I'm not that interested in amazing sound quality - I'm lucky if I can strum my way through a song in one piece, let alone make it sound nice. But good intonation is a must. My first uke (horrid intonation) gave me little incentive to play, as each time I picked it up it made me wince with pain at how out of tune it was.
Did I just pick up a dud? Is it possible that the Dolphins on the UK market are substandard to those for sale in the US? Does anyone else out there dislike them?
