Okay, I'm here to admit something that everybody's gonna laugh at, but that's okay. Here goes. I've played ukulele for over six years and until last night during the superbowl power failure, :sigh: I had never strung a uke. There. I've said it.
And the most terrible thing about it? IT WAS SO EASY! I had been paying those guys at the local guitar shop $12 a pop to basically rob me. Oh well, you live, you learn. I had watched two or three videos on youtube about it, until I saw one Aldrine posted for UU. Then it clicked in my head. Worked like a charm. Did it in less than 30 minutes, and that didn't count putting my little girl to bed in the middle of the process. And I re-did one of the strings, just because I wasn't satisfied with it. Not to mention, I didn't have a string winder.
Which reminds me, a string winder is on the shopping list, because winding grovers takes a while and my wrist was hurting by the time I finished.
Alright, I opened the can of worms. You all can take pot shots at me now. I'll pwn it.
