Hi All!
We bought our first "high end" Ukulele, (a Kanile'a) and are not used this type of pin bridge. I bought it second hand at a fair price, but we noticed how the string is cutting into the bridge. Maybe? Because I am not sure if this is perfectly normal, or is an issue of the strings being overtightend at some point which then caused it to dig into the bridge.
Of course, we already own it now, so it is what it is, so my next question is if this is NOT supposed to be like this, if you think it will cause an issue? It seems to hold the tune, although we just bought it so that remains to be seen I guess.
(BTW, these are plastic pins, is there any benefit to upgrading to bone or ebony? Its an Oha model.)
