I have a Mahalo U-350 Deluxe Soprano Ukulele. When I play the ukulele it makes this bad sizzle sound when I strum it. I have no idea whats wrong with my ukulele. Maybe I need better strings, my current strings are plastic. Help please!
View attachment 63418 this is my action and the sound is more of like a shaking of a Maraca. It only makes that sound on the 2nd string up to down
Sounds like you have it tuned an octave too low and the strings are too loose.
Here's an on line tuner in case you don't have a clip on one yet. This will let you check that you're at the correct tension as Paul suggests. http://www.get-tuned.com/online_ukulele_tuner.php
I think many beginners don't realize that their tuner may be reading G,C,E,A ...
....but it is the G,C,E,A *an octave below* the one they want.
This would definitely make an open string buzz.
