Hi everybody,
I'd like to have a re-setup of one of my ukuleles by a luthier as I think there's still a little more room for a nicer lower action, especially with the G string as I have changed from High-G to (a thicker, still non-wound) Low-G. However, I just put new strings on it and didn't thought this through when I already clipped the excess length at the top – meaning: If those strings are completely removed from the ukulele, they are too short to put them on again.
Can the luthier do the setup (mainly action on bridge and/or nut, I think) with only loosen the strings, but still keeping them on? Or do I have to wait for my next string change not? It's not that I am cheap, I would "sacrifice" this set of strings, but the problem is that this is one of the last sets of my beloved Southcoast strings which aren't produced anymore ...
Thanks a lot in advance for the info, really appreciated!
