Ok, so my concert Uke is set up with a low G string.
Picking, it sounds fine.
Strumming, the low G seems to drone on, dominate, and muddy up the sound. I THINK because the top resonance is too close to low G.
Has anyone experimented with adjusting the resonance of a fully built uke? I'm thinking I could add a little mass under the top and drop the resonance down a bit, eliminating the droning, using something like blue tack or microsuction tape. (I have used the later under the bridge of my banjolele to smooth out the highs a bit).
What are your thoughts?
