Hi guys, i have a question. If i file down the nut slot would it change the sound or cause any problems? because its kinda hard to play the fret right next to the nut.
 
It's not so clear on what you mean here.

Is the nut itself just too tall and making it difficult to play which makes you want to file down the slot it fits in so that it fits in lower?

or is there a specific string(s) and you want to file out their particular slot(s) in the nut to lower things?

Either way it sound like you're looking for tips on setting up your action. Seeso presents some tips in this thread

also what kind of uke are we dealing with here? With a cheaper uke you might be able to improve a few things here and there with different strings and a set up, but they'll never be spot on.
 
Ya its the nut thats pretty tall, and its a pretty cheap ukulele that my grandma gave me (Savannah SU-100 soprano), thanks :D
