Hello everyone,
I bought my Kala KA-S about 6 months ago and for the last few months I've been having a problem with my E string jumping out of its slot in the nut. It only occurs when finger picking and the closer the string is picked to the saddle, or the harder I pick, the higher the chance of it jumping. I understand whats physically happening but am unsure how to stop it. I don't feel like I'm playing it too hard.
The dreaded TWANGGG *reposition string* whilst playing is starting to get old.
Is this something that happens with lots of ukuleles?
Is the E slot in my nut wide/deep enough?
Or is the Kala KA-S too entry level? (everything else about it seems great)
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem?
Here's a little demonstration video:
I look forward to any help, in the mean time I'll keep playing
