On Dad's old Soprano . . . he still plays it . . the slots in the bridge have worn to the point where they no longer keep 4 and 1 secure. With a heavy enough set of strings he can get by, but I'm worried it might be too much for that old uke.
What's to be done? When I say "Old" I mean "Old" not "Vintage"--I seriously thought about staining a toothpick to match the bridge thereby converting it into a tie-on.
Are there such things as ball-end strings for little Ukes?
Ideas welcome...as I said, I don't think "ruining a classic" is an issue, though I'll check before I do anything permanent.
