Is there much that can be done? I just picked up an Ohana concert uke (dont have the model number on me), and now that the strings have had a chance to stretch, it has become increasingly obvious that notes go noticeably flat past the tenth fret (flat, not sharp, go figure). I definitely do want to use the very highest frets, but I have no idea if the instrument's intonation can be improved, as it doesn't have a truss rod. So should I just exchange it for a better set up instrument, or would a competent tech be able to fix it? I suspect that nothing can be done, but I figured I may as well ask around, right? Thanks!
 
Yes good question!
I Also had this on my mind. There are some modifications to the saddle or action and many other things.
Like Ryan said that Jake altered Aldrines uke..

Q: What are possible modifications that we can do to our ukulele?? If so, how?
