Need experienced players opinion on a problem.
I have played guitar for a while and wanted to get a ukulele to play around with - to do some arpeggios, classical, lead, and strum of course.
So after some research and viewing demos on theukulelereview website of the Kala STG I decided to buy it from theukulelesite since they included a setup.
I opted for the full setup, which was almost three week wait, but I was in no rush. When the Kala arrived I noticed poor resonance and sustain on the C string on the 5th fret, and some on the C 4th and 6th fret and also some on the A 6th fret.
Watching the video I saw on the review website demoing ukes under $200, in the first demo of the Kala STG, the player was using the C 5th fret and it sounded great.
So I am wondering if they performed any setup whatsoever on the Kala.
Before deciding to return the Kala I guess I will go over my concerns with a local ukulele shop, to see if it can be corrected with a setup, or if it's a problem with the ukulele structure.
I'm thinking the nut should be higher.
I'm in the So Cal area.
Cheers
