Hi,
I'm new here. I'm a pianist but recently got myself 3 lanikai Ukes, a baritone, tenor and concert. I've played a little guitar before so expected that for a while getting enough pressure on strings would cause some temporary discomfort.
But while my baritone is relatively easy, the tenor and concert Ukes require substantial string pressure despite not having wildly high action. I'm assuming this discomfort will disappear after a while. I'm doing daily excercises playing semitones on single notes with JUST enough pressure for the note to sound, and being careful to place my fingers in the right part of each fret. While this is helping I wonder whether lowering the action will be of much help, or whether it is just a matter of time and practice?
