I’m not taking crazy pills right?

That’s a factory mistake that can happen with cheap mass manufactured instruments?

You're not taking crazy pills. The strings, played from top to bottom, are G C E A, all within the same octave.

The one in the E position was making the C sound.

Those are the last two left so I’ll tune them… and then maybe that can tell me if it arrived strung wrong

I'd take the ukulele to the shop and make them switch the strings. It's a manufacture defect they need to know about.

and get a free 2 min lesson out of them

I got it online. I really don’t want to go to the shop for reasons

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, I hope you can find a good string swap guide online then.

Thanks, hopefully YouTube sorts me out
