I known about this. Your finger tips turn black because one of your strings is unplated, aluminum wound. The black is aluminum oxide. It's not necessarily cheap.
And all these years I thought that high school chemistry was a waste of time. I should have paid more attention.Your finger tips turn black because one of your strings is unplated, aluminum wound. The black is aluminum oxide.
If I play the uku for more than a few minutes my fingers turn black from the strings. Why is this? Cheap strings or is this just something that i am going to have to deal with?
Change the strings.The C string is wrapped but why would that cause my fingers to turn black? Its my strumming hand that turns black so i dont think its the fretboard. It happenes the most when i pick the instrument rather than strumm. So now if thats the case how can i fix it?
