I bought one of these as my first uke, thinking it was way too good of a deal to pass up.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360710420378?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Now it just came in the mail and I have a few questions. First off, I'm having a difficult time keeping it in tune, especially the A string. Should I stretch the strings like I would a steel string guitar, or could that damage the nylon strings?
Along with the not staying in tune, could it be the tuners? They are either REALLY high ratio, or pretty crappy. Should I replace them, and with what?
The add says this thing was professionally set up just before shipping. Either that was a lie, or Ukuleles don't stay tuned and set up for long at all. How high should the action be compared to an acoustic guitar?
Thanks in advance for your help!
