    Song Help Request Need chord help!

    set up & tuning question

    hello, I bought a Cordoba 20TM tenor uke and I've noticed that even after tuning it, the strings seem to be out of tune with each other. I don't think the strings are slipping out of tune per se, they seem to hold pitch ok. the octaves from the G string and the A string are out. would a set...
