Shortly after I got my new ukulele I decided to change the strings. As I was getting the A string up to tension (still about a full step flat) the string broke. And when I looked down at the bridge I could see a short (a little less than a cm) deep scratch in the uke in the area immediately behind the hole for the A string. Since the uke was brand new and since I just removed the old A string I am 100% sure it was not there before the string broke.
Is this a common occurrence? I have a hard time figuring out how this even happened. The top is cedar which is supposed to be soft. But I was still surprised that a string could have done this.
I could post a picture if that would help.
