Topic: Frustated with new Baritone Uke purchase

I just bought a Mahalo Baritone Uke after a friend showed me his new one which sounds vibrant, and great. For some reason this identical uke just sounds a little flat and dull compared to his, Can anyone suggest why this might be?

Try putting a new set of strings on it.....or maybe take it to get set up

Re: Frustated with new Baritone Uke purchase

Thanks for the suggestion but understand this ukulele is brand new, with brand new strings!!!

Is it possible the frets need work?

Re: Frustated with new Baritone Uke purchase

Brand new strings that you put on? Or are they from the factory? If it's the strings that came on it, I second BHA's opinion. Just because they look new doesn't mean they'll sound new wink Try some Aquilas on it...  Are you comparing it to the same model?  Peace! -Pix
