Hey all. I have a new Anueue (say that three times fast!) concert uke that has a buzz. I won it in a contest so paid nothing for it.
Now, usually I like a good buzz, but not this one. I've tried changing strings and diagnosing the problem myself, but to no avail.
So, I dropped it off this a.m. at a local luthier:

I am not any expert but it sure seems like he does good work. Walking in there is everything that Guitar Center, Sam Ash, etc. are not. It smells nice and even though it is very small, it's a lovely place to be.
So, I'm spending money on an otherwise free uke. We talked for a moment about how he is working to educate people that you might expect to pay more than $75 for a real live musical instrument.
I am doing my part to overcome the myth that the ukulele should be a cheap instrument.
