I hope this will be OK here but if not sorry.
I sold my vintage soprano here & want to be sure to ship it correctly. Should I loosen the strings a little or allot?
I plan on making my own box & use packing but would like advice.
thanks in advance!

I like to use three layers of cardboard glued together to make panels that are quite stiff and, hopefully, resistant to puncturing.
 
I have always doubled boxed with cardboard 'stiffeners' between the inner and outer boxes.
 
Loosen them a little. I've received ukes form overseas and the strings were only loosened a little.
 
that is what I was thinking because the strings may help stabilize it in transit.
Thanks
