This is a question I probably should have thought of a while back.
I have a small problem with one of my ukes. It is beautiful, has a wonderful sound, the whole package. But there is one problem. When I play it, especially the first string, I can easily move the strings as I am fingering them, sometimes pushing them over the edge of the fret board if I am sloppy.
I know I can work on my technique, and I am, but it just hit me that maybe if I got higher tension strings, there would be more resistance to this movement and it would not happen as much.
Is that a possibility? If so, do you all have any recommendations for higher tension strings? Linear, if that makes a difference, although I usually use a Fremont blackline or another type for my low G.
Thanks in advance.
