My new Concert size Kamaka keeps hurting me when I play it. The "A" string (C6 tuning) has a little piece of the string sticking out from the tuning peg. Unfortunately, it's pointed right down at my left hand, so when I go to play on the first fret, it pricks me. Ouch! I trimmed it back to about a 32nd of an inch, but the little bugger still gets me all the time. Is there any problem with trimming it off flush with the peg? There's a lot of string wound on the peg. Or, is there a more elegant solution that's escaping me? I never had this problem with my Soprano or my larger Ukes.
