I got a new uke the other day. One of the nut slots is too narrow for the fat Aquila strings it came with. When I'm tuning, the string sticks in the groove and I need to lift it out with my fingers to get the string to settle on a pitch.
I have no tools for widening the slot. I don't want to shell out money for a set of nut files, nor do I want to wait for a set to arrive in the mail. Can I fix this issue with stuff I can find cheaply in a normal hardware store? Any tips for doing so?
