However, most people wouldn't notice that, so I'm going to give it as a pressie to the church's play group, and let the little kiddies bash the tuneless thing to death. Next
time, I'll try one out in the actual shop so I can tell what I'm getting before I buy. My advice... NEVER by a musical instrument without playing it first. You never know what you'll get.

Hi mgran. Thanks for your uke story. I love the way they sound. And I'm so impressed you knew it was a quarter of a semitone flat. I bet you have perfect pitch.
Thanks everyone for being so supportive.
It's just, you know when you're already having a really bad day, then something like this happens it makes it stand out so much more? It's silly... But I have been worrying a lot about money lately and this felt like something nice for myself - then, well, bad coffee sure tastes bad.
Anyway, it is so nice to hear from so many who have been there with making a purchase that doesn't turn out well. I will take the darn bag back and - what ever happens happens. Outta my hands then.
