Hi folks, my husband bought me this gorgeous new Carvalho Portuguese-built solid koa tenor for Christmas. I love it, can't fault it in any way, and I'm very picky on ukes - but I wanted to put a low G on it. I had noticed that the string attachment was exceptionally neat....taking the existing high G string off, I found that the string would not pull out, the end was invisible and stuck - and it turned out that the strings had been inserted from the inside of the uke! I managed to pull it out from the inside after a bit of fiddling about. (See pics).
I was wondering, how unusual is this? There's no way of putting a new string on the same way - so I've done the usual timber hitch to put the new low G on. Thanks!
