My wife and I are in Hawaii on Oahu and have rented a car for a few days for some general sightseeing and to take in a Hawaii Warriors football game. Yesterday we had plans to drive up to the north shore to visit a shrimp truck and perhaps drop in to Hawaii Music Supply to "just look around". Really, I was just planning on looking. I've already bought two ukes from HMS, a KoAloha pineapple that stays safely at home and a Kala travel soprano that gets lugged around on holidays. I checked my email just before we walked out the door and there it was, an email from HMS about a big sale they were having until November 1st. What's a man to do? They obviously knew that I was here and they obviously knew that I needed a new uke. So off we went. Saw some nice beaches, ate some delicious shrimp and showed up at HMS with a hankering for a tenor. We walked in and were greeted by Aaron and Kimo Hussey who was there visiting and apparently trying to convince Aaron to do a ukulele clinic in Canada as we Canadians are, as I believe Kimo said, very nice people and Canada is a nice place to visit. Thanks, I resemble that remark. OK, I'm starting to ramble again. I don't say much in person but get me on a forum and I ramble.
I ended up with an Islander tenor Uke AT-CUT. Great price and great service from Aaron. Kimo recommended that I try low g tuning on it which now leads me to a question. The non tuning peg end of the strings isn't the knot the string and thread it through the hole style that I've seen before. Can anyone give me some tips on restringing?
Thanks. Picture below since I've heard it didn't happen without pictures. Thanks to my wife for the use of her beach towel as a backdrop.
