I'll be traveling more with my Ukuleles in the future and thought that others' opinions and experience might help me decide whether to loosen the strings or leave them at pitch when ukes are shipped or taken along on a flight. In the past, I've left the strings at pitch while transporting in a polyfoam or hard case. I've also received shipped instruments, sometimes with strings slacked and sometimes at full tension. What is your opinion? Is it best to loosen the strings on a uke as a flight carry-on or just leave at pitch? Also how should the strings be prepared when shipping or receiving a ukulele via UPS, et.al. ?
