Edit: sorry for the duplicate post
Hi
I have now purchased and returned two different, highly recommended ukuleles because of pitch issues. When the strings are perfectly in tune, fretted notes are not. Fretted A on the G string doesnt match open A, fretted G on E doesnt match open G, etc. And the pitchiness gets worse the higher the fret.
As someone with perfect pitch, this bothers me a lot. These are decent ukes.. Kala concert and Luna Tattoo concert. So I went to Sam Ash, the only nearby store I know of that sells ukes, and tried every one of theirs. Mostly Kalas and Cordonas with a few others. All selling for between $100 and $300. And they all have the same issue!
This is so discouraging to me. Chords sound bad when notes are out of tune and I have trouble believing this is an issue across the board, but I dont know what to try next. I dont want to order on amazon again because even the ones rated 5 out of 5 stars seem to have this problem.
Suggestions?? Thanks so much!
