I was changing out some strings on a few ukes and had a couple of strings snap on me as I was tuning them up to pitch. Now every time I change out a set and tune up, I dread it because I'm afraid of the string snapping again or worse, damaging the uke. I've used the Aquila red sets before and this was the first time I've had any snap on me. I know several people have said the reds snapped on them too so I'm sure it was string related. I'm using different sets now but I still have that anxiety whenever I tune up and hear that creak of the string stretching.
Anybody else have this problem? Should I tune up slower...let it sit for a few mins and then tune up all the way? Or just get over it and tune the thing up like normal?
