Now chaps, a bit of help/advice please from the experts amongst us.
Bridge; The one on me uke is smooth, should I file in some slots for the strings to sit in?? Strings: should I change them (as someone suggested in another thread), what's the best/acceptable ones to use?? PS: Great site, Puggs, WMCA has never sounded so good [;-) :D Title: Re: Ukulele Post by: Pugwash on May 27, 2009, 04:16:08 PM Bridge; The one on me uke is smooth, should I file in some slots for the strings to sit in?? Strings: should I change them (as someone suggested in another thread), what's the best/acceptable ones to use?? Yep it is a good site. The Uke Wednesday Songbooks are good as well. Get some Aquila strings (ebay) they're ace. All the bridges on my ukes are smooth. If you want to bring the action down you are better sanding the bridge underside making sure you have a perfectly flat surface. Oh and do it very slowly with lots of testing ;D Title: Re: Ukulele Post by: Addie on May 27, 2009, 07:57:38 PM Can i bring mine even though i can't play it for love nor money? ;D
Title: Re: Ukulele Post by: Fat Boy Stan (Stanley) on May 28, 2009, 09:49:01 AM Thanks Mr Pirate, will be taking your advice. I think I will leave the bridge alone then, if it aint broke, etc.
