I just put D'Addario J71's on my tenor Mainland about 3 weeks ago and they were settling in nicely. Then yesterday or the day before, I noticed the uke sounded muffled. Then today, it was absolute out of tune, sitting in the case. Now, it is warmer, but still....
As I tried to tune the A string, it refused to cooperate and got lower lower. Then snappo!
Defective strings? Defective me?
It was rather fortuitous because I have some sets of South Coast strings to go try out and had to take off the newly installed D'Addarios anyway (did Dirk put a whammy spell on my old strings to speed up my new install? Hmmmmmm.) Nah...
But really, what gives?
