hey all,
My ukulele has a bad case of the fret buzz, and I'm not sure how to treat it. It's actually a really nice instrument and puts most other ukes that I've played to shame as far as playability. http://www.kalaukulele.com/KA-C.htm seeing as there is no truss rod to adjust, I have nothing to tweak. It is tuned properly (in other words it's not tuned so low that the tension in the neck is pulling back to far on the strings). some other relevant information: I got it new last Christmas (11 months ago). Never changed strings. Could this be affecting it? I jam on it nearly daily for a bit, so it has seen a bit of use, but it certainly hasn't been beaten to death. I'm going to take it to my local shop to see what they have to say, but I'd like to get some opinions/advice here. thanks, -Chris EDIT: one more bit of info: This has been going on for a couple of months, so I'm pretty sure it's not the changing of the seasons, colder and drier winter, type deal.
