My baritone uke broke a "D" string. (Baritone uke stringing is: DGBE)
So, I replaced it, and then I got a HUMMING sound!.
Its probably due to my inefficient stringing!..
How can I rid it of this HUM?
 
check your nut. I assume you are using the same types and diameters? If the string is binding in the nut slot, it can cause a buzz. Also check your saddle to be sure it is seated correctly. Or if it is buzzing on the frets, go down and pluck on each fret to see where it starts and stops to determine which fret it's hitting, then check that one to be sure it hasn't popped up and seated properly.
 
how to get rid of the hum? teach it the words!

Make sure you have the right string. Proper string tention on G string especially important. See Southcoastukes.com, setup and string guides sections.
