Pete Howlett has commented several times on his blog about setup on ukuleles. On his most recent installment on FB, he comments about radiused fingerboards on ukuleles. (Spoiler: he doesn't offer them.)
Then he talks about setup and the action on his ukuleles. It's quite informative. Pete has some strong opinions about setup.
He believes the magic is at the nut, and is more important than the 12th fret.
Oh, and he mentions that the industry standard for string spacing is 10mm (3/8") regardless of nut width. I guess that explains the Ko'Aloha nut on their tenors.
Anyway, it's worth a listen. You don't have to belong to FaceBook to listen to it: https://www.facebook.com/no1petehowlett/videos/10157935071551031/
This is weird. I thought I posted this in "Uke Talk". It didn't show up for a day. Then it appears in "Ukulele Marketplace". Man, I gotta cut back on those mushrooms!
Don't know how to move it. I guess I'll duplicate it and close this one.
