Hi everybody,
I have a short question as I am very cautious about my ukulele: When re-stringing your ukulele – is it safe to remove all four strings (for cleaning the fretboard) or should I do one string at a time to keep tension on the neck? I re-string the ukulele within a few minutes, and of course, lower the tension before cutting the old strings. Should be safe, I hope - I just want to be sure as the myth (?) of better not stressing the neck by removing all strings together still keeps hunting in my head ... I guess there's truth in it for some guitar scenarios, but not our ukuleles with relatively low tension? Especially if you don't have your ukulele lying around unstrung for days or weeks ...
I just want to finally have peace of mind as I'm still overly cautious and only doing one string at a time – which makes fretboard cleaning difficult.
Thanks in advance for any answers!
