We just copied our last post from Uke Talk to start a different thread here. We found an old Kent Baritone uke in a pawn shop. The shop owner gave it to us for nothing. It 's pretty worn and it has a small crack on the lower bout but we decided to clean it up and try a set of new strings.
This is a project progress report and questions as well.
We decided to stick with the Worth Browns that we had already researched. After a cleaning with mineral spirits and mineral oil, we put on the new strings today. The G, B and E strings sound pretty good, but the D peg slips about a quarter turn so that the D string can't be tuned at all. We tried to tighten the screw, but the screwhead is stripped. So our question is, can we just replace the screw or do we need to replace the entire peg?
Also, how difficult is it to change the tuners from tension to geared? We have an old broken student guitar that we can use for parts. It has geared tuners. Could we just use four of those geared tuners to replace the peg tuners on the uke?
