hi everyone, newbie here
I just got my first real uke a few weeks ago used off craigslist.org, and it sounds great. However, the action is definitely higher than I would like. I mean, it's higher than my guitar. It's an old Harmony baritone.
I guess my question is, do you think this can be adjusted? If so, would a guitar shop be able to do it, or would I have to take it to a ukulele shop? I'm currently using aquila nylgut strings, the kind designed for concert tuning. I've also wound the string around the tuning pegs several as you would when stringing a guitar, though I think I just read that this is wrong and a common mistake guitar players make. Is that wrong and could it make a difference?
It's still very playable, and sounds very good....but any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
