Hi Guys,
I bought a Redwood S10 Uke for £12.99 GBP or $21.33 USD. I got the the Uke home and ordered a Eno ET-36 Mini Clip Digital Tuner.
The tuner arrived the next day and I attempted to tune the Uke by clipping it onto the head and selecting U for Ukulele.
I had all sorts of trouble until I watched a video on YouTube. i wasn't aware that there was several notes on one string, once I established this, I was away.
Anyway I tuned it up to what I thought was correct, but it still doesn't sound right.
The A string sounds dull and think it should be higher as the Uke is a Soprano which I would thought have played higher notes.
I might take the Uke back to the store but involves a 90km round trip and try and get somebody to have a look at it, I was thinking maybe the strings need changing but I just don't know.
I know that it's possible to have a Uke that just won't tune as I read in a mail order catalogue that somebody had this problem.
Has anybody got any advice?
I am a complete noobie.
