I just got a new KoAloha soprano and it is a fantastic sounding uke. It’s brand new, but it’s a pre-2016 model (likely with original strings).
So my issue is that I’m having trouble tuning the c string and getting it just right. Basically, a very slight twist makes it way too sharp and then I have to try again. After some research, I read that some switch to Gotoh tuners. So my questions to you all: 1) could this be an old string issue? 2j how can one tell if the tuner is the issue? 3) what could one expect if they switch from the KoAloha tuners to the gotoh ones? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks and happy playing!
