I bought a uke a few months ago and I noticed that it has an unusual bridge and restringing method. You thread the string through the bridge into the body of the uke, grab the string through the sound hole, put a bead on the end of the string, tie a knot and then cinch everything up. It basically seems like you need an endoscope to do this and I'm wondering if there's a simpler way besides groping around the small sound hole with a long tweezers and a small flashlight? What is the purpose of such an arcane stringing method - does it produce much better sound? Enquiring minds want to know. TIA, g2
