UKULELE SETUP

Ukulele Setup at UKE Republic is always included

OUR PRO UKULELE SETUP IS ALWAYS INCLUDED

The ukulele brands we carry will apply their quality control standard during the building process. Allowances are made for adjustment and improvement beyond that initial quality control and final factory setup. It's always possible that the factory could overlook issues in their last inspections. Also, instruments endure environmental changes while being imported and stored from great distances, significantly affecting the instruments' playability. 
​By keeping our pulse on the ukulele community and our years of experience setting up different brands of ukuleles, we have honed our standards to meet our customer's preferences and stay within the instrument's full playing potential. Our experienced setup technicians thoroughly inspect each ukulele to address areas that call for attention and make any needed adjustments. Our wish for our customers is to have joyful playing experiences. 
We setup every instrument in the order we received it. So, there may be a waiting period, and the wait times will vary depending on each instrument's needs to be addressed and any special request in addition to our standard setup.
