Ugh! I just got my first baritone ukulele delivered today, finally sat down with it this evening, tuned it up, played it for about an hour and my D string snapped.
I've never had a string snap on my concert or tenor uke. Is this common with baritones? Since it was the 'D' it was one of the wound non-nylon strings (or at least, didn't feel nylon). I have a digital tuner which has never failed me in the past so I'm sure it wasn't tuned too high...
It came from a reputable person, was shipped properly with the strings really loose. Basically, I'm wondering if this is something I can expect more from my baritone, if I happened to get some bum strings or if it was something I did wrong...
Either way, very frustrating since I only got an hour in with my new, beautiful uke and it's going to be shelved until I get new strings now.
