Hi. I was hoping you could advise me on what to do. When I went to change the strings on one of my ukuleles last night, the saddle came out of the slot on the bridge. I assume it was just tension fitted int there and the change in humidity here in Wisconsin caused the wood to shrink enough that the slot widened. If I slide the saddle back into the slot myself, it is still very loose and will just fall right out again. Unfortunately the nearest uke store I trust is 5+ hours away and I will not be able to get there anytime soon. Can I just glue it in? If so, do,I just center it on the bridge and use wood glue? Or should I wait and take it to someone who knows what they're doing. I know nothing about building ukuleles and don't want to screw anything up. This is my favorite uke and I'd rather wait than ruin it.
Thanks for any advice. Andrea.
