Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Titanium-material strings for baritone ukulele in standard DGBE tuning. For players restringing a baritone who want brighter attack than nylon.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone ukuleles in standard DGBE tuning
- Guitarists on baritone uke — DGBE matches a guitar's top four strings
- Players wanting more cut and projection than plain nylon
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Soprano, concert, or tenor ukuleles — wrong scale and tuning
- Players wanting warm, mellow nylon or gut-like tone
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Baritone-specific
Gauges are calculated for baritone scale, roughly 19 to 20 inches, tuned DGBE — lower than other ukes.
Detail 03
DGBE tuning
Same intervals as the top four strings of a guitar. Guitar chord shapes transfer directly.
Detail 04
Tie-on ends
No ball ends. You knot each string at the bridge, the same as a classical guitar.
Final check

- 01Confirm your uke is baritone, not tenor — scale length and tuning are different.
- 02Expect a few days of stretching and retuning before pitch settles.
- 03Only strings are included. No picks, winder, or clippers.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I tune these to GCEA?
They're gauged for DGBE at baritone scale. Tuning up to GCEA raises tension well past what these are designed for.
02How is titanium different from nylon?
Titanium monofilament is denser, so it reads brighter with more attack and projection. Nylon is warmer and softer at the pick.
03Will these fit my tenor ukulele?
No. Tenor is a shorter scale tuned GCEA. These are sized and tensioned for a baritone in DGBE.
04Do they have ball ends?
No. They tie at the bridge like classical guitar strings. Leave enough length to knot before trimming.
