DC-Ukulele CH : Few problems : for the price a great ukulele

Nice little ukulele for the price, once I had sorted out the wiring issues. It looks good and feels good with a nice smooth neck with good fretwork.

The intonation is a tad out as you move high up the neck, I only notice it as I use it for melodic picking and for £49 I can live with it.

The tone control was acting like a volume pot and the the instrument was humming really loudly.

I found that it was wired incorrectly : I also found that they were using the audio pot (A]

For the tone and the linear pot (B) for the volume . It would normally be the other way round.

I completely rewired it the correct way : painted the cavity with conductive shielding paint and as recommended by another reviewer I changed the tone capacitor to a 2.2NF value

Result : everything now works as it should , I have a usable tone control and the ukulele is as quiet as a mouse even plugged into a high gain amplifier.

Some reviewers have no problems, so I guess it could be down to whoever wired the instrument at the factory.

I have fitted it with a new set do Aquila strings. I also fitted it with a worth, Brown low G string. This works and it sounds great.

For £49 it’s a bargain given that I had to change the wiring .
