Two separate independent local music stores told me that there isn't much setup you can do on a ukulele. The ukes come from the factory with a certain amount of setup done, and anything you do just won't make much if any difference. These are independent stores, NOT Guitar Centers or anything. One of the folks actually seemed to know what they were doing -- with guitars.
They told me this in answer to the question: "how much would it cost to do a uke setup". Thus, they had an opportunity to make money and instead they told me that it wouldn't make sense to bother.
So are online uke dealers who claim they do setup telling the truth? Or do these small local retailers just not know what they're talking about?
I believe it's the latter, but opinions, judgments, anecdotes of experience one way or another etc are all welcome.
