I'll be upgrading from my cheap beginner ukulele soon and was wondering how to inspect new ukes for proper sound and setup. I'm most likely getting a mass produced uke, and from my understanding, these tend to have lots of variability in their build quality. My main concern is how to check that I've got a good one as I have no clue on these things...
So far I've read about the 12th fret intonation thing. But what else can I do? Do I just attach a tuner and pluck each string at each fret to make sure it's all in tune? Should plucking each fret produce a perfect tune on the tuner?
