Bad gluing at the edge of the saddle of a sopran ukulele
Hello, so I "won" an ukulele in an ebay auction. Sold as new and mint not played but for only a few times. It was made in late May 2018. Rather soon when I got it I find this bad gluing of the saddle: please see attached photos.
edge_of_saddle_1 edge_of_saddle_2 How worried should I be? What would you do, please? I havn´t contacted the seller yet. This is an in Europe (the UK) hand made piece. Regards Last edited by Henning; 11-18-2018 at 06:03 AM. Reason: add info

String tension on the tops of ukeleles is very minor, glued bridges hold extremely well.
Not uncommon for a builder to undercut the edges of the bridges to allow them to sit smoothly and neatly over the finished top, so it may be deliberate. Personally I do not think you have a problem there. Steve
