Hi There,
I recently bought my first Ukulele - A Bushman Jenny Concert which was shipped to me in London. I am really please with the sound, and so far enjoying playing (the lessons on this site have been a massive help). However, the Uke is not perfect and I need some advice.
The frets are very badly finished, especially in the upper register (especially when compared to my Taylor guitar). They are sharp edged and uncomfortable. Additionally the tuning pegs are super stiff and very hard to use, although the instrument does stay in tune well.
Can the issues with the frets be rectified? Could I fit grover guitar style tuners?
I have not been able to find any Ukulele specific luthiers in London, and wanted an opinion before consulting guitar luthier. As I said this is my first Uke and I am make comparisons to a guitar - which is probably not ideal.
Many Thanks and sorry for the long post. Thanks for all the inspiration.
