Hi everyone,
Am new to ukes, have had my solid mahogany tenor since 2/14/15 (the price was ~$250 if that says anything about quality or lack therof not sure), and today noticed that the back has a crack going halfway up - it has been treated very carefully so am assuming this is from the very dry and cold weather we've been having.
Wondering - is this normal due to the dryness or is it a bum ukulele? I didn't know enough to get a humidifier, and anyway like having it out because I play it often throughout the day. Not sure if I should try and exchange it?
Any thoughts on how to mitigate the damage if I can't exchange it?
Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
