I'm relatively new to the uke world but it's obvious that poor action and bad intonation are very common complaints. Obviously this tends to be worse with cheaper instruments but I'm wondering about instruments in the $1,000 and up category.
In the guitar world, once you get an instrument set up well, the intonation typically stays pretty good but the action can change quite a bit with swings in humidity. I'm wondering how typical this is with ukes.
So question 1: Once you get a decent uke set up well, does it stay or do you have to keep adjusting action and/or intonation?
2. Once you settle on a brand and gauge of strings, do you tend to stay with it? I'm wondering about this because I've seen some massive differences in intonation between brands of strings.
Thanks.
