I just got my Islander MSS4 uke from HMS! So excited and I've been playing for the past hour.. I'll put up a review in about a week or so as I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow.
I've got an issue/question and I'd like some input from pros and noobs alike. I've gone from a non-setup Lanikai LU21C from Amazon to set-up Islander as above, but now I'm noticing that I was actually playing BETTER with the "cheaper" instrument!
More specifically, I'm getting buzzing on the E string on barre chords (most likely my technique, string doesn't buzz when I single fret anywhere on the fretboard) and random buzzes when I'm trying to play normal, non practice speeds
The only other soprano I've played was a Martin S1 from a music store, which I've had no issues like this.
Do you think it might just be the difference between concert and soprano?
Maybe a set-up uke requires more precision as the action is set lower, etc?
Maybe I just need more time with the instrument?
Maybe all of the above?
I'm pretty new to the world of ukes, so any input or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
