Father gave me a 50+ year old Hy-Lo baritone uke. First thing I did was stick some new strings on it. After changing strings, the action seemed a lot higher. I placed a ruler on the frets tonight and the neck is bowed. Did I possible cause this changing the 50+ year old strings? Is it possible to straighten? It is not an expensive uke so I don't want to spend a lot of money but if there is a cheap fix, I would like to try it. It would mean a lot to me to be able to make this playable since it was my dad's. Thanks.
