Hi, I'm new to this forum so 'hello'.
I have bought a second-hand K1 Kanile'a Tenor Uke (Gloss). It sounds beautiful, looks beautiful etc, etc.
I have just one issue with it, which is... when I play the C string on the first and second frets I get a buzz. I only get the buzz on these two frets on the C string and only when I play it hard. Otherwise it is as clear as a bell.
I've read through the buzz sticky thread and can't find this precise problem, which is why I'm posting here.
I have put new strings on it (Worths) but the problem was there when I got it (it had Aquilas on). I tried taking off the saddle and putting a strip of an old library card to raise the action but that didn't make any difference. I'm wondering if I need to raise the action even more, or whether it could be a fret issue.
Or whether I should just play it more carefully and not worry about it...
Has anybody had a similar problem and solved it? Any advice?
Thanks so much,
Matthew (Old Timer)
