Hi all, nice community you have here! I'm hoping you can help me... i recently became the first-time proud owner of a ukelele. The tuning settled in ok after a few days, but I'm having intonation problems (not entirely sure i'm using the right vocab here, so bear with me) on one string only. The other strings are all fine on any fret, but this one is horribly sharp - i'd guess getting on for 50 cents at the second fret. My first instinct would be to change the strings, but given that all the strings are new (if cheap and cheerful) I'm wondering if that's likely to be a wasted effort, and if the problem might be something more fundamental? My main concern is that by the time I've sent off for some decent strings, re-stringed it, and waited for the tuning to settle in, I might be too late to return the ukelele if the problem IS something more fundamental. I'd welcome any advice that you can give me...
Thanks in anticipation.
