Hey guys,
I know VERY little about all this stuff, but i think I may have a problem here. I had put on Aquila Strings on my Kanile'a Tenor so I could have more projection than I had with my Worth Browns on it. (The E string on the uke with the Worths also went +18 sharp on the 12th fret and I thought the flourocarbon might have stretched oddly) So I get the Aquila strings on it, and let them settle for a couple days, but I was awestruck on how awful the intonation was. The G string went up +22 on the 12th fret (it was about 5 with the Worth strings), the C was +9 (it was +2 or so with the Worths), the E was +10 (better then it was with the worths) and the A was +9 (it was only +2 with the worths).
So I decide to stick with the worths as the uke is very playable (the E string was a pain) and I take off the Aquilas. Then the problems get worse.
The saddle popped right off and I assume the fiber like material underneath is the undersaddle pickup. Now I tried placing the saddle back on, but it popped right off!
So right now it is just sitting on my bed and waiting so I can know what to do with it. ANY help is greatly appreciated with both of these issues. Thank you!
