I have an Uke that sounded great. Great action and string height. I just did not love the tubby sound of C string (fluorocarbon) sound. So I switched to Thomastik CF 27 steel C. The sound was much better. It gives the whole set a balanced sound. But it buzzed when picked at open string. It was too closed to the first fret. No such problem with a fatter Fluorocarbon C string.
Is there a way to raise just the C string a little bit? I don't want to shim the whole saddle, that would change the action of all other strings.
In violins, Luthier sometimes put a "thing" (I don't know what it is called) between the bridge and the string. I am thinking of putting it either at the nut or at the bridge. It may help solve my problem. Anyone know what it is called and where can I find one?
