Saturday morning while walking through my music room I found a ukulele string on the floor, it had a knot in the end so I knew it was used. I had recently done some string changes and assummed it was one of the strings I took off. Late Sunday night I picked up my fluke from the rack and went to play. The "A" string was gone and I could not figure out what happened. There was a little wrapped around the tuning post. It appears the string broke about the first fret. I have broken strings while tuning and/or strumming, but have never seen one break while sitting in the stand. I live alone (no pets either) so it was either a gobblin or just a strange happening.
