Changed strings and now have back bow in neck?

I have a growing number of ukes with shimmed saddles. Just last night, 20 minutes of work with a cheap razor saw and a file and I had a piano key ivory shim fabricated and installed under the saddle on my Kiwaya KTS-4K.
It works so well I rarely bother to make a new saddle.

That’s my go-to remedy attempt for fret buzzing. If a slice of credit card stock slipped under the saddle gets rid of the buzz, as it often does, and everything else is OK (intonation, action, etc.) then I’ll make a more permanent shim out of ebony or ivory.
