Okay, so I got a new uke for Christmas (a Mitchell MU-70), and it sounds fantastic. I've played it a handful of times before today, including once after replacing the cheap strings that came on it with some Martins.
All was going well until this morning. When I grabbed my beautiful new ukulele (Penelope) out from under the tree, her A string was hanging by a peg.
After numerous attempts to re-string her with the same string, I opened up another pack of strings I was saving for my other uke. However, even a new string with a different knot kept popping up from the bridge.
I think the A string part of the bridge is broken. (It even looks slightly chipped in that area).
Does anyone know if there is any way for me to fix this myself? I'm going to trek over to the store where I bought it tomorrow, but they don't know a lot about ukes.
Is there some way to fix the bridge without replacing it entirely?
Thanks in advance.
