Hey everyone, well my lack of experience with instruments is going to cost me, I didn't think it was that dry here but I guess the colder temps this year and the furnace running more has caught up with one of my uke's. Specifically my Fender Pa'ini which is a solid mahogany tenor uke, I had a string break a little while back so I went online and ordered some aquila strings and waited for them to show up, after I changed the strings the buzz came with the new strings and I couldn't figure out how come I had a buzz on those strings when I didn't before, I built up the nut with a business card that I cut a strip off of and that took care of the buzz. Now I believe it to be that the neck warped a little causing this. I pulled the Uke out last nite to play on it some and it has a crack on the top of the Uke.
I have inspected my other uke's and see no signs of drying issues but then this was my only solid wood uke. Suggestions on repairs for cracks (actually one pretty good crack) and warped necks? also, does anyone use case humidifiers? Is this instrument toast? On a side note it still sounds pretty good and is in tune!
thanks,
Charles
