Shoulda put the word "diameter" in the title, as opposed to width. Ah well, I can't seem to change that in the edit.
I don't even know if that topic title makes sense. And this might be a dumb Noob question, but I'll try anyway...
Every uke I've acquired in the last 15 months came strung with Aquilas - (or Aurora; made by Aquila, correct?).
On every uke, the first and second frets are sharp - only on the C.
Seems odd.
Which makes me wonder if the ratio of the width of a C string to the others in a set of Aquilas is greater than the ratios of C strings to others in say, Martin, or Worth, or any other brands.
I've had one uke adjusted to widen the groove in the nut for the C string. But then, if I restring with another brand, would that throw things out of proportion again?
Or could every uke ostensibly really be out of tune at the frets?
Sorry I don't articulate this as well as I'd like; arrrgh.
