Hey all,
I am nearly 100% certain this issue has GOT to be me, but I'm going to ask anyway.
I have a nice tenor uke (Chantus) which has a rather long scale. I broke a string, so I decided to change them all. I had bought some D'add strings, and got some Titaniums and also some of their Nyltech ones.
First set, final tuning, I broke the G. Couldn't tune it that far up. Okay. Fine. Put a new G, it worked. Got to A. Broke it. New A. Broke it. Opened a pack of Nyltechs, which I noticed had a smaller-gauge A, and have gotten it in tune with trepidation.
I cannot for the life of me remember the stock strings. Does this sound like it's me, or could it be a function of strings too high a gauge for their length? Any thoughts?
Maybe I ought to downtune a half step. Hmmmmm.
Koko
