Found a Kala Pocket uke at a very fair price at the site of a European web store. Actually I bought 4 of them for some stringing experiments I am carrying out. All four are quite good, only at one of them I can feel the ends of the frets in my left hand. Not that they stick out 0.5mm or so. They are just noticeable.
My suspicion is that this uke spent a long time in a too dry storage room. I am used to maintaining good recorders with bore oil, but I have no experience in oiling fretboards.
Will the fretboard come loose because the glue is challenged?
Which oil to use? I use almond oil with the recorders, but I don’t know whether it will make the fretboard sticky.
I have bee’s wax balsam that I use for furniture. Would that work?
