Hi !!

I'm Danny from Scotland. I am new to the ukulele so am only a learner. I have a Brunswick Concert but have now upgraded to a Kanilea Islander MST-4. JUst setting it up with Worth brown low G set... I'm sure I will have lots of questions !!!

Hi Danny!
I'm Scottish/Irish, but I'm stuck in the USA.
Welcome to UU. Just jump right in, there are lots of topic headings here.

Hi Nickie
Thanks for the welcome ! Looking forward to playing some great old Irish and Scottish numbers ! I'm taking the plunge and changing to worth B low g on my new kanilea islander solid mahagany tenor. I can't find any advice on string height as the action seems a bit high to me ???
Here goes....

As the Islander is built in China for Kanilea, the Hawaiian folks should have good enough quality control that it shouldn't' need a customer set up. I've never played an Islander, but I've never heard anything negative.
I think that the lo G string must have a higher tension, making it harder to press down to the fret. I recommend taking it to your dealer, and ask him to measure the string height all across. If the nut isn't filed out to fit the lo G string, it wont' be the correct height. You could try it yourself, the worst you could do is ruin the nut.
Maybe another Islander owner could chime in here???

Welcome, string height is usually between 3mm & 5mm at the 12th fret, personal preference, & about 1mm above the first fret.

Welcome Danny!

Hello Danny and welcome aboard! I am in central England myself, but have in-laws from a small town on the west coast of Scotland, who now live down this way.

Welcome, the world needs more lo G players. The knowledge here is un ending. And they even tolerate me.
