In Search Of A Ukulele - Tiki Music

It sounds worlds better than before but not full and rich. Basically it sounds like what it is - a cheap ukulele. Perhaps I can learn a little more on this "beater uke" and then upgrade to a nicer mid-priced model sooner rather than later. Still, I'm not having fun learning on this crap-tastic uke. I don't like the sound. Perhaps I'll file down the nut grooves a bit - the strings sit way too high off of the neck making playability more difficult than it should be. Peace, Peter
