Just watched your latest video.explaining what your plan for the future now you are closing the shop.lets hope the engraving will be the best thing for you .also I was so surprised you mentioned me and my health problems .all the medication I am now on certainly helps.i am still trying to get some of my strength back but I have been told it will take some time .still now the weather is good at the moment I can at least get out for some exercise.also I am sorry your health is still causing you some problem.please look after yourself.mythoughts are with you.lol.

Does lowering the action change intonation? I have a low budget uke with high action. Intonation is high pitched at all frets. The saddle is not snug and leans toward the nut. I am prepared to lower the nut slots, install a compensated bridge, and upgrade to Flourocarbon strings. Your thoughts... RT in USA
@rojobemusic3754 Ай бұрын
@@rtucker1004 The short answer is yes, lowering the action will help with intonation... slightly. And again, the upgrades you're talking about will help... slightly. Certainly can't make it any worse right? Provided the alterations are accurate
@rojobemusic3754 Ай бұрын
Think of it this way; if the action is too high, you have to push the string down further which stretches it more than normal resulting in a 'sharp' or higher pitched note

I have the same guitar, fg300a, and it has the exact same tuners. The gears are worn down and two of the buttons gave out. Am changing for sealed tuners that require a lot less muscle to use.

You could paint the pins with ca glue to make them fit tight also applies to the saddle! Obviously let the glue dry before you put them back in lol

I would lay it on a flat surface against a stop and use a wedge to push it together! Should close up nice and tight. Good luck.

I just got my Bat King Baritone last week. I'm brand new at music, so I'm having trouble fretting right now. Some of these triple cords are hard for us newbies. I chose a Uke because the strings are farther apart and I was sure that even I could pull this off. It looks like it will be a bit of work.
@rojobemusic3754 5 ай бұрын
Yeah, just like learning anything new, it just takes practice. I would recommend 20 minutes per day every day and before you know it you'll be playing music. And by the way; you have absolutely chosen the right instrument to begin your journey!

Re: The Nut. I don’t understand why people don’t just knock off the nut and sand the bottom down instead of using special files? (The stings should sit at the height of a fret wire as if it were a fret wire.) The pressure of the strings (at the nut) should hold it back on, but use a bit of glue to keep it from moving from side to side.
@rojobemusic3754 9 ай бұрын
I've done literally hundreds of string action adjustments on countless different instruments and i can tell you this; every job is different and there are always several different ways to do each one. Sometimes i will sand the bottom, sometimes i will file the slots and sometimes i will make an entirely new nut from scratch. It all depends on what each instrument requires and i will base my decision on experience.

I'd try adjusting the truss rod before lowering the saddle and nut.
@rojobemusic3754 10 ай бұрын
The truss rod is only for adjusting the neck relief, i.e. underbow/backbow. It won't do anything about string action, doesn't have anything to do with it. That can only be altered by adjusting the height of the nut and/or saddle. Also bear in mind I uploaded this video almost 2 years ago and the work has long since been done, successfully, by lowering the nut and saddle.
@stoneyrunva 10 ай бұрын
I realize the chronology of the video. Comments may help the next person. When lowering the nut and saddle check the neck to see if it needs adjusting. Oil it. Sometimes these chinese made ukes will sit in a warehouse long enough for humidity and temperature changes to affect the neck. It can impact action. It can also dry out revealing sharp frets or a shrunken or bowed neck. It's a nice uke for the money. Thanks for the video.@@rojobemusic3754

I have the spruce top kmise baritone. I replaced the strings with Martin 630 Baritone strings. I like the sound. I haven't tried a Batking ukulele but I appreciate the comparison. I wish they would remove the cheap looking koi fish or whatever it is and simply put holes in the face of the instrument.

That's no way to file your nails.😁 2) Create a pair of long post tightening handles, for the jack, to stand above the jack. 3) Find a way to permanently attach a digital caliper, to be able to make, accurate, micro adjustments. The "iGaging EZ-Cal X-Large" Digital Display Calipers" is the best ~$35 you will ever spend. Available on the big "A". (YT does not like the real name) 😁✌🖖
