I have a new 8 string tenor with slotted headstock. After a couple of months of playing I had a high C string break (at rest) while waiting to play after taking outside. Replaced and tuned to pitch. 2 weeks later I had same string pop (at rest) after bringing inside from playing. I gonna let uke sit longer in the case after taking inside/outside. Appears to break at nut or first fret so I will get a loop and look at that first chance. Til then:
Looking for tips from 8 String Tenor players on the care of the thin octave strings. Ex: Do you let them sit at half pitch for a bit before bringing to pitch?
TIA!! Mark
