I have a new Kamaka Tenor (HF3) and the intonation seems to be off...
This is my first nylon stringed instrument and first uke (been playing guitar for several years) so maybe I am missing something. As I fret down the board the notes get progressively sharper. If I fret at he 7th fret on the C string which should be G it is audibly sharp and checking it with a Snark it is 2-3 "divisions" (can't tell exactly how many cents off this is) sharp.
Is this a setup issue or is it related to the strings needing to stretch or something I just don't know about? While my guess is that it needs some setup...I thought I should check with those more knowledgeable than me before diving in (probably would have someone do this professionally)
Thanks for any help!
