Hi,
I'm still relatively new to ukulele's and certainly luthier work, but I have my first ukulele right here, a big Lauren Baritone. Now, I only paid $45 for this little piece of work, and due to my own incompetents, the bridge is lifting. Now, I know you get a bridge reglued professionally for about $45, but for that price, I'd rather just buy a new uke...... Now, I can barely play the baritone, so I'm not too worried how this looks/comes out. It's just me trying to salvage a cheap instrument. Is there an easy way I can fix this? I can visibly see the gap, but do I have to remove the bridge and reglue it, or can I just sneak some superglue down in there? Any tips, guides, etc?
Also, what's the word on putting regular strings/tuning (GCEA) on a baritone?
