If it's the strings, a new set will sort you out. So, to answer your question, no, it shouldn't happen, although it does on cheap ones. I also bought a cheap uke for a godson that had an appallingly stretched string out of the box, so clearly something went wrong at the factory. This can happen if you are using the strings it came with if the uke was knocking around a shop for a while being abused by customers. If you got it from a shop it is probably worth taking it back and getting them to either demonstrate that it can be set up correctly, or to replace it - even if it's cheap it should be tunable or it is not fit for purpose.Īnother factor is possibly the strings I have before accidentally tuned a string far too sharp on a ukulele, and it was completely impossible to tune that single string afterwards it needed to be replaced. 24.34 Buy It Now, 19.75 Shipping, 14-Day Returns, eBay Money Back Guarantee.

I have had various ukes of varying price, and an inability to be tuned correctly across all strings seems to be a common factor of the cheap ones or at least a highly variable ability I presume because they don't bother checking machine head quality or intonation but just knock them out at speed. 20 Old Time American Tunes Arranged For Ukulele Rob MacKillop Soprano Ukulele B 1 of 1 Only 5 available See More. I can't find your model, so don't know how relevant this is. You can just barely see the screws in the following image, as small silver dots at the outside edge of the black tuners: You have to find a balance for the screw, between being too tight and too loose. If you overtighten it, it will be difficult to turn the tuning pin - do not force it! Just loosen the screw a bit, and you'll be fine.
Be careful here: you aren't assembling furniture, and the screw does not need to go in as tightly as you can make it. The solution is rather simple: find a small screwdriver, and gently torque the screw until the pin is able to hold a tension. I've even seen it to the point where the pin is incapable of holding any tension whatsoever, and the string just sits there flopping loosely. If this screw is too loose, then the tension of the string will eventually unroll the pin, and the string will loose tension, causing it to go flat. On my ukulele (a Fluke), there are small screws in the ends of the tuning pins that control the tension of the tuning pin. I can't speak to your particular model of ukulele, but I'm going to hazard a guess that your problem is similar to one that I've had in the past.
