Question about a restrung uke
Hi guys!
I have a question about my ukulele. I've been playing for just over 1 year now, daily, sometimes multiple times a day, whenever I can really. I've gone back into education following a major life incident which led to me needing to change my career. Honestly, having a play around on my uke helps me unwind. It's a lovely serene instrument. :3
Anyway, a few months ago, I took my uke to a local music shop to get it restrung. It had been sounding bad for a while, and being a disabled person, I have issues with my dexterity which means that I found it awkward to do myself.
They did the one string with me and then let me, being determined to do it myself, go and try to do the rest alone. I still had trouble, even after being shown how to do it.
I go back to them and ask for them to do the other 3 remaining strings.
I was told then that it wouldn't sound quite right immediately and that I'd have to retune it a few times.
It's sounding worse than ever... I'm getting quite concerned now.....
It's a real echoey, vibrating sound. It sounds similar to how it would sound if you hit it too hard, except it seems irrelevant of how hard I hit it.....
Any advice on what could be wrong and what I could do to help remedy it?
Thanks guys
