Ukoo FAQs
Your Ukoo is equipped with high-quality tuning pegs that enable precise tuning. The tightening of the pegs must be checked to ensure the stability of the sound and, of course, to avoid unwanted noise.
You can use a 10 mm wrench or an "English" wrench. Avoid using pliers so as not to damage the head. The swivel does not need to be overtightened, but it should not move.
Tuning is important when you're learning to play the ukulele, so you should pay close attention to it.
If your model is equipped with a preamplifier, you must insert the batteries into the battery compartment on the underside of the instrument near the connection socket. You will need 2x CR 2032 batteries (included in the set).
This video shows you how to insert the batteries correctly.
With your Ukoo, you either have a preamp with an integrated tuner or an external tuner that is included in the set. Once the batteries are inserted, this accessory makes tuning much easier.
The standard tuning of the soprano (21″), concert (24″) and tenor ukulele (26″) is: A4 - E4 - C4 - G4
Once you have set this up, you can finally learn to play the ukulele!
Traditionally, the ukulele is played without a strap. That's why we don't drill any holes in the instrument, because if the strap is not wanted, then neither are the holes.
However, if you are a guitarist or have not yet learned to play the ukulele, you may want to have a strap for more stability. For this reason, we have designed the material so that it is easy to handle and you can attach a strap yourself:
- Take a look at the following pictures and see where we have drilled the holes
- Drill two holes with a 2 mm drill bit, making sure that they are as perpendicular as possible to the surface of the instrument.
- Screw on the two knobs and that's it!
If you do not have a drill or are not familiar with how to use it, ask friends and acquaintances for help, there is sure to be an experienced DIY enthusiast who will be happy to help you. We will also be happy to answer your questions.
