Detail 01
Titanium monofilament
Denser than plain nylon, so it pushes more air. Brighter attack and a bit more sustain at the same picking strength.

D'AddarioEJ87C Titanium Concert Ukulele Strings
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Titanium-formulated concert ukulele strings from D'Addario. A step up from stock nylon for players who want more projection and a slicker feel.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert-scale ukes that sound thin or dull with stock strings
- Players who want more volume without playing harder
- Restringing a factory uke that arrived with generic nylon
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Soprano, tenor or baritone ukuleles — wrong scale length
- Players wanting the softest, mellowest traditional nylon tone
- Anyone needing a low-G set out of the box
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
Concert scale
Cut and tensioned for roughly 15-inch scale. Too short for tenor, unnecessarily long for soprano.
Detail 03
Smooth polished surface
Less finger squeak when sliding between chords, and a slightly slicker feel than textured nylon.
Detail 04
Single-set packaging
One full set of four strings. No spares, so buy two if you break strings often.
Detail 05
Under $7 per set
Cheap enough to try without commitment. Restringing is the lowest-cost way to change a uke's voice.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon-family strings stretch for several days — expect frequent retuning at first
- 02Nothing else included: no winder, no clippers, no spare strings
- 03Check your uke's scale before ordering — concert only
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my soprano ukulele?
No. This set is cut for concert scale. D'Addario makes an EJ87S in the same titanium formulation for soprano.
02How long do they take to settle in?
Plan on a few days of stretching and retuning before tuning holds. Gently pulling each string after installation speeds this up.
03Are these brighter than regular nylon?
Yes. The titanium formulation is denser than plain nylon, which gives a brighter attack and more projection.
04Is this a high-G or low-G set?
Standard high-G tuning. If you want a low G you would need a separate wound or fluorocarbon low-G string.
