I've lowered the string height at the nut on three ukes, lowered the saddle and changed the compensation on another uke (all professionally built) and built two ukes myself. So I can adjust string height and compensation. I want to teach my friend how to do this and I also want to buy a chap uke for my daughter. I am thinking Lanikai, Dolphin, Diamond Head, etc.
Here is the twist - I want one that is not very well set up so I can teach my friend to set up a uke. So please tell me about a cheap mail order place that will sent me a uke that has not been adjusted. I want a sturdy uke, one that won't fall apart, but I hope the compensation and string height are both wrong!
