- If your ukulele's jack socket has become loose, here's a way you can tighten it up at home. Tools are handy but not essential. I used a 1/4 inch dowel rod, but if you don't have that to hand, a chopstick will do the trick!
Brilliant. I have now fixed my loose MISI pickup Jack thanks to this excellent video tutorial. Thank you.
Oh great! I'm glad it was worth making.
Useful to know..thanks Matt! 👍🏻🎶
Ty so much for this video . My Ohana Koa wood uke had this problem. Great step by step instructions and I was able to fix it without taking it somewhere!!!
Fantastic! I can imagine once you'd fixed it - the sense of pride almost made you pleased the problem had occurred in the first place!
Different ways but all work fine! I put a small Allen key in the hole to screw it up to the body, then put the nut cover on with rubber lined pliers!
Nice, small Allen key would be ideal - I'm always losing mine on the carpet though!
Thanks for showing , just had my one done if I’d seen this could saved £15 ,
Think a locking washer between nut and washer would stop it loosening again cheers 😅
It'll probably happen again... I do my own once every few years. Next time, chopsticks on standby!
are there any permanent solution
interesting!
always gave it to my luthier suspecting it would be quite tricky an affair … and it is!
Can I have my uke with chopsticks please! 🍜 So if the jack socket has gotten a little loose because it doubles as a strap button and the strap gets twisted sometimes, (that happens to me a lot actually) I can't just quickly fasten it by turning it by hand cos that could twist the electric wires inside? Is that correct? 😯
No you can tighten it that way, I do with mine (every time I use it, just in case). It's only when it is spinning around and around that it's a problem.
@@WorldofUkes Ok, good. Thank you! Phew, that's what I hoped you'd say. I did return (exchanged I should say, though the one I kept isn't perfect either) a Victoria Tenor Soundwave not so long ago because it didn't work when plugged into an amplifier. It played like a dream otherwise. I could have maybe checked it out myself using this method?🥢Didn't buy it from you, obviously. I'm fairly certain it wouldn't have happened otherwise ☺️
Thank you so much for this excellent video but what a pain in the ass. I will never buy another instrument again that has the end jack and the strap pin as one.
The problem is, the ones with a jack input off to one side - they're weaker and prone to splitting if you, say, stand on a jack lead. No perfect solutions sadly.
