Thanks

There’s a music store near the main square in Melaque, that’s probably the closest.

I’ve bought guitar strings at Pollo in the past. I was surprised at the selection. You might check there.

I have some used metal guitar strings. If you find the right gauge to match your broken one you can have it. Almost sure to be a close enough match. Save you a trip to Melaque. I live in LM. Contact me on +1 575-613-5007 Ike

Ukes are not built to handle metal strings. Might be a disaster waiting to happen.

Thanks all
My family is coming in a week. They will bring me a new string.
