If the string is fretted properly, I'd say this is impossible for technical reasons - a shorter string will have a different frequency. Not much, but still a noticeable half tone.The sound on 10, 11 and 12 frets are the same.
What is the reason?
That could be possible if those frets are badly set and you have a very low action - ie when you fret at the tenth, the string actually touches the fret two or three further up the neck
Did you mean when you hold the tenth you get the same note on a string as you get on the 11th and 12th? If so, i got what you mean!
That's exactly it
That's exactly it
In which case the problem is as we described - either the frets are too high and misplaced or the neck is bowed or mis set in the ukulele.
I would almost suggest the action being way too low, but if that was the case you would get buzzing strings all over the place. Either way it needs a repair or a replacement, and for the money a LU21 costs, I would suggest the latter.
Hello, folks!
I got myself a Lanikai LU-21 and I like it, but there is a slight problem
The sound on 10, 11 and 12 frets are the same.
Send it back....it should be under warranty... for and exchange...good luck..
Shouldn't be a problem, at least not a problem from Lanikai's side - don't know about your russian dealer though.....I'm not sure about Lanikai warranty availability here
