My only uke is a Fender U'uku and i bought it in a shop where it was the only uke around.The guy at the shop had no idea about how to tune the thing so go figure about setting in up.
G is even and fine during the first 20 minutes of playing (not hard strumming), then i have to adjust it to get it in tune again.The first three frets from this string gives me a perfect G#, a perfect A and a perfect Bb, the same with the rest of frets here.
C is inconsistent as hell.I have to tune the damn thing every 5 minutes if I want a decent intonation and to get a perfect C i have to screw the tuner in and out a lot, i mean, it's pretty imprecise.Then, when i finally have it in tune the first three frets give me a slightly sharps C#, D and Eb.
E is pretty easy to tune, stays in tune for around half an hour and the tuner is sensible enough to find the perfect intonation fast and easily then the three first frets give me a perfect F, F# and G, so no big deals in this department.
A is also very easy to get in tune screwing the thing and also stay in tune for half an hour or so.The first three frets give me a perfect Bb, a perfect B and a way too sharp C.
In general isn't too bad but coming from the highly in tune demanding world of saxophone myself, the minimum out of tune notes are a kind of pain in the a**.
Well, i'm mostly worried about that wild C string.What can I do?.
Also, when I strum A without pushing any fret it gives me a kind of Banjo coloured sound, is that normal?.
