I'm pretty much a Baritone guy, and one thing has always bugged me, basically because I don't know why some ukes have a position marker at the 9th fret, while others (most, actually) have a position marker at the 10th fret. I have a Kanile'a, Bushman,and Favilla that all have a position marker at the 9th fret. Most of the more recent ukes I've seen have a position marker at the 10th fret, and I have a few of those as well.
Does anyone have a guess as to why this inconsistent fret marker placement exists? Does it have anything to do with the age of the uke? I know it seems inconsequential, but I've always been curious about the anomaly. Anyone have the answer (or a good guess)? Thanks.
