Hi,
I just got my new KA-ATP-CTG-CE from Mim a week ago, and Mim also helped to install Worth BT Brown strings. I've been really happy with it.
However, today when I started to tune it (they are out of tune in like less than an hour, I guess that's normal for new strings?), the A string was broken. Then I watched some changing string videos, and I feel that' not that complex. So I'm thinking of changing strings by myself (also I think I need to gain these skills anyway). But I still have some questions:
1) My experiences with uke is just less than one year. I'm still not that confidence that I can do it perfectly. Do you think I'd better reach out to a luthier in person to learn it first?
2) Do I need to change the A string only or it's better to change the four together?
3) Is there any recommendation on stores that sell strings?
4) Any recommendation on tools? Like the "Planet Waves String Winder & Cutter" by Andrew in his video.
5) Any tips for a newbie like me?
Thanks a lot!
