Doing my part to ensure kids get access to functional ukuleles during their music lessons in school. Back in my time, we were blowing recorders for music. It was limited excitement & nobody looked forward to the lesson. These days, kids get to play ukulele, harmonica & keyboards in school. How things have turned.
Didn't know the Mahalo brand equipped their instruments with branded accessories / parts.
One of the ukuleles had its nut dislodged & that's how it is with kids; rough handling is inevitable. Music lessons offer the opportunity to teach them handling responsibilities & also to respect others' property; these instruments belong to the school, definitely not theirs. They have to exercise care so that the subsequent user get to experience a functional instrument. They must remember that this 'subsequent user' might be them.
In addition to a re-string, this care package included a re-moisturizing of the fretboard (some were mouldy), tightening of loose parts & a general wipe down.
Done. All in a day's work & it's been a pleasure to help.
