Why does my ukulele sound weird even though its tuned?
This is normal. New strings need time to stretch and “settle” into place. That said, watch out for old strings too. While older strings might not stretch as much, the quality of the sound will go down, and if you inherited an old ukulele from your grandparent’s attic, then, definitely change the strings!
Why is my ukulele echoing?
The absolute most common cause of a buzz is a high fret or frets. This could be just one note on your uke buzzing, or it could be several notes on one string in a row. Even if your uke had no high frets when it left the shop, they could develop over time with changes in temperature and humidity.
How do I know if my ukulele action is too high?

If the strings are too high, the instrument becomes uncomfortable to play, if the strings are too low, it can cause fret buzz. Typically, the cheaper ukulele makers like to set the action really high, so they avoid fret buzz. This solves one problem, but causes an even bigger one.
