I dunno. I've sorted through a lot of relatively inexpensive ukulele's, and generally found that if you want to find one with good intonation, you have to spend a fairly substantial amount of money.

Also, I'm sorry to say so, but just learning to play chords may be part of it, but it's not really "learning music."

My great grandparents on my father's side came from Scotland (Orkney, to be precise) and my grandparents on my mother's side came from Sweden. I was born in California, have lived all but my first nine years in Washington State, lived in big cities, grew up listening to pop, classic, and jazz on the radio and got interested in American and British Isles folk songs and ballads while I was in college.

Although I've seen and heard Native American chanting, drumming, and dancing in movies and on television a couple of times, the only time I have ever seen and heard it live was once, and the people doing it were a young non-Native American anthropology professor and his half-Native American wife doing a demonstration at a folk arts festival.

And yet, there is someone on this thread who has told me several times on other threads that I should not be singing the songs I sing. I should be doing "Amerindian chanting and drumming," because, as an American, he tells me, this is my true cultural heritage.
