Thanks very much for this. Living in Canada in a wood heated house, humidity is a huge factor. Just one thing - I wish you would recommend people go to their local music store to buy things rather than Amazon. I have found that it is mutually beneficial to have a relationship with a local business with human beings that can help you. I realize this is not possible during lockdown, but when this is over they will really need our business.

I think he was saying if you buy on Amazon you’re more likely to have issues with your set up. It sounded to me like he was cautioning against that not advocating for it.

When you want to tune to A don't tune to something else. Truly this is advanced expert advice. Thanks I would have never figured that out on my own, every time it called for me to tune to C I would tune either b g or m. Thank you so much for the amazing content you provide KZbin viewers.

Hey Terry :) Good tips... yeah fluorocarbons can sure take a while to settle in. I need to lower the action on one of my Ukes for sure. Is there a good range in terms of mm height above the fretboard at the nut?... and maybe one or two places higher up the neck. Cheers Peter.

I am a total beginner, actually I can play classic guitar and I thought it would be an easy task to tune the ukulele, however I noticed when I tried to turn the tuning pegs the string itself would pull it back and turn it in the opposite direction. I tried to solve it by stretching the strings and then tried turning the pegs again with no success...and ended up snapping the string instead as I turned the peg more than I should have...Does anyone else here have similar issues?

Hello there, I don't know if you have an answer by now, but I had the same problem. My ukelele doesn't have geared tuners, it has the basic horizontal ones, that come out straight at the back. Often the tuners slip, but they can be tightened with a screwdriver, tightening the screw at the back of the tuner head. I hope that makes sense!

When playing with frets sound gets muted help!
@jyutzler2 жыл бұрын
Problem #1 is bad intonation. It makes most cheap and/or vintage instruments nearly impossible to play properly. Sometimes a luthier can fix it, sometimes not. Problem #2 is fret height. Kalas seem fine at first (at least as practice instruments) until you realize that the action on the first or second fret is too high. You can't lower the nut too much because that will cause buzzing elsewhere. Problem #3 is cheap ukuleles having a sharp corner where the body meets the side. I've had to literally file them down to keep them from cutting into my arm. Straps obviously obviate that but since so many ukes lack strap pegs, I've decided that it would be better for me to learn to hold them with my arm. Problem #4 is the peg not being tight enough, causing the string to detune when you play it. I pack a small screwdriver in the case for these times.

@@daisysmum1810 ok so you have to tune it higher, it needs to be an A4. There are two different types of notes on the lele such as low and high, since I originally had my A chord at a low hz it made the string loose. All you have to do is tune it up to and A4, it'll feel super tight and you'll think the string might break but it won't :)
