The funny part is that I went to a guitar store and the reply I got was “it’s the nature of the beast, you’ll never be able to have those in tune same as the open strings”.
I’ve had the uke for a few months now, don’t think I can return it. Will need to google someone that can adjust it locally, that C string hasn’t sounded right from day one but I felt it was just me being a complete beginner.
That’s the nature of most shops most of the time. Palm off whatever product you have to whoever you can get to buy it; if there’s an issue later well either the customer is using the product wrong or all those products are like that so the customer just needs to get on with using it as it is. I’ll always try to support a good and honest local shop and realise that some customers ain’t saints either but mostly I’m now sceptical of whatever any sales person says.
