I picked up a used Ohana SK-25z a few weeks back and have been playing it quite a bit. When I first checked the Uke, the intonation was perfect. Last night I noticed that it just didn't sound right. All strings are in tune but when I start to check the notes lower on the fretboard I noticed that the C string has an issue at frets 2-4. It seems to go sharp for those four notes and then it seems to settle back in tune the lower I go. It's very strange but I have been bending that string on fret 3 for a week or so with a little riff.
So my question is this. By bending the note at fret 3, have I created a bad string?
I have not changed the original strings because the previous owner put Worth clears on it and I do like them. But I am sensing it's time to order some new ones.
Thoughts?
