Slotted Bridge...Wound String

[frets alot]

Probably a dumb question...
Can you (would you) put a wound string on a uke with a slotted bridge?

I’ve done it. I don’t think it should be a problem. To be honest I never considered that it could hurt a slot bridge.

I don't see a reason why not. If the knot is too big to fit under the slot just let it sit at the end of the slot and it will be fine.

This is a D'addario .028w in a slotted bridge. A knot with a larger diameter than .028" may not fit under, and/or the string may be too wide to go into the slot without damaging the slot.

I've had no problem with mine and it's had several on.

Yes, for sure. I’ve done it on my Moodyville tenor with slotted bridge. Just do the know carefully and make sure it fit snug!
