Troubleshooting

Ukulele won't stay in tune.

Check the tuning pegs and ensure they are tightened properly. Stretch the strings by gently pulling them up and away from the fretboard, then retune. If the issue persists, consider replacing the strings.

Strings buzz when played.

Check if any of the strings are too close to the frets. Examine the neck for any bowing or warping. You might need to adjust the action (string height).

Sound is weak or muffled.

Ensure the strings are new and in good condition. Check for any obstructions inside the soundhole. Make sure your fingers are pressing firmly on the frets.
