So I finally got my new Worth strings in the mail yesterday. But I've been hesitant to remove the old ones because the C string tuner was so terrible, that I was afraid it wouldn't survive a string change. I was gonna wait until I get my tax return incase it broke ad I had to get a new Uke, but I'm impatient.
So I take my old strings off, and the nut pops off in two pieces!! Haha. This is just a cheapie Mitchell MU-70 uke from Guitar Center, so I know it would eventually break. But I thought it'd be the tuner. I'm okay with all this, not even interested in fixing the thing, because this gives me even more motivation to go out and get a Tenor ukulele. Probably be a relatively easy fix with some glue, or just order a new nut if possible, but whatever.
Hoosierhiver's "Mainland Ukes" look really good, so I'm going to get one with my tax return, if there's enough after paying bills. May have to settle for like a Makala from MGM though, which would be fine.
I know we've all had uke problems before, but has anyone loosened their string and their nut just falls off? Haha it was so surprising. I'm just glad this wasn't like a Koaloha or something... then I would not be this positive about it. Then again, if it were something that good then this wouldnt have happened... haha.
Any other recommendations in the 150-200 range for a tenor? There's no Uke shop here so I have to go off of word of mouth if I can't get a Mainland Uke.
