High g question....
When played "open" the sustain is shorter (i.e. decays faster) than when played up the fretboard. There "is" some sustain, but I can best describe the sound as plunky or with a slight "thud".
Other strings played open have very good sustain and resonance, and when the -g- is played fretted 1-12 the sustain/resonance is similar to the other strings.
Strings = Worth Browns, well settled
'ukulele = Ohana CK 50G (concert, solid cedar top, solid rosewood back and sides)
bone nut and saddle
action @ 12th = 2.5
'uke is new (although build date is 2018)
I have searched and read a few dozen posts on the forum, however, most "thud, punky, dud, dead" threads deal with sustain deficiency when fretting.
String position/height in the saddle seems the same for all strings. I can't check the break point however, it's just too small .
Any suggestions or ideas?
