I apologize if this has been answered before but I'm not much on searching.
I have a Bushman concert Uke. I've had it for about five years and it's always been an excellent instrument. A couple of weeks ago I changed strings and installed new Martin strings. Now, even though I tune the open strings perfectly, the notes when fretted are too sharp. The chords sound horrible.
The strings are tight, stretched and stay in tune when open.
The C string is especially bad when I play a D note it's almost a D#.
The G and D chords sound especially bad.
Since this sounded fine before I changed strings I am wondering if it's something about the way the strings are not sitting properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
