Where does the string break? Near the head, saddle, or after it does that weird angle?
Did you check for rough spots and debris in the bar's groove? (Sand, ugh.)
You might also want to try "lubing" the groove with a pencil. The graphite helps the string glide through the groove.
I'm not sure what strings you're using, but I've found that really light strings don't do well on the Risas.
One brand that I tried, I broke the A strings of both sets I had on hand. With another brand I broke an E within a couple of days.
Which brand do you find best for these?
I think the Worth Brown BM strings are good for this uke.
