As you guys can see she is a tad crippled. I bought her last year and she plays like a dream -when she has all her strings that is. I got her re-strung by the shop I bought her from with D'adario Arte fluorocarbon/silver wound strings so I don't have to deal with the stretchy stock strings.

After a few weeks the thread-through bridge ate my wound low D string. Assuming it was a fluke or a manufacturing error in the winding of the string I bought a new set of the same strings and re-strung my low D.

In a few weeks the same thing happened. Now I am no luthier so I'm not about to go at my bridge holes with a file to smooth it out.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a low D string set that does not include a wound string since my fluorocarbon strings have not snapped.

I prefer the sound of fluorocarbon but I'll take any recommendations at this point.

I live in the UK so getting Uke Logic strings imported is extortionate or really hard to hunt down in shops.

( Also before anyone asks no I do not store her tuned, I always reduce the tension before putting her either back on the wall or in the case. )
