I had to repair my beautiful 8 string tenor ukulele.
I Loved playing it. It had a lovely sound until one day ....
 |
| I opened the case one day and saw this! The bridge had popped off. A combination of poor workmanship and tension of all those strings. |
 |
| I had to rack my brains and search the internet for a solution. I didn't fancy the idea of just gluing it back on. It would probably pop off again. I looked at other instruments with many strings and noticed that the mandolin had a tail piece. That seemed the best solution. |
 |
| Now she is mended. All the strain is taken by the tailpiece. Bridge glued back with Tuffbond. A new set of strings and she plays as well as before. |
