Any way to dampen the c string in sound as it overwelms the other strings because of it loud boomyness.

I've had that problem with Oasis strings on a soprano uke - could be the brand, or could be a bad pack of strings. I've also had that problem consistently with all non-wound low G fluorocarbon strings - using a wound low G solves that problem. Outside of the Oasis, I've never had it happen with a C string, but I know others who say it's a constant problem and they opt for a wound C instead.
I have the same problem.At times when I have been suffering from some booming in a single string I have found that a little careful filing of the nut slot has fixed the problem. A nut slot that is a little wide will cause some vibration, generating some booming. Measuring the string gauge with vernier callipers and then using an appropriate nut file to adjust (gently deepening) the nut slot has done the trick for me.

OK, I'm having to think about this because its a post I made 9 years ago.I have the same problem.
Can you maybe explain a little bit in detail how you fixed it? Did you meant that the nut slot was too wide and flat, and this caused the booming?
