1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nylon-family strings for concert ukulele. For players replacing worn factory strings or wanting a set with more projection than plain nylon.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert-scale ukuleles, 15-inch scale, standard GCEA tuning
- Restringing a beginner uke that came with dull strings
- Players who want brighter attack than standard nylon
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Soprano, tenor, or baritone ukuleles — wrong length and tension
- Players wanting fluorocarbon brightness or wound low-G depth
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-specific set
Gauges are matched to concert scale tension. On a soprano they go slack; on a tenor, tight.
Detail 03
Ukulele strings, not guitar
Tie-on ends at the bridge, no ball ends. You knot them yourself unless your uke has bridge pins.
Detail 04
Full set
All four strings included. No need to buy singles unless you break one later.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon-family strings stretch. Expect several days of retuning before they hold pitch.
- 02Confirm your uke is concert scale, not soprano — measure nut to saddle.
- 03Bridge ties need trimming; keep small clippers handy.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a soprano ukulele?
They're cut and tensioned for concert scale. On a soprano the tension drops and tuning stability suffers. Buy the soprano set instead.
02Are these low-G or high-G?
Standard concert sets are high-G reentrant tuning. If you want low-G you'll need a wound or dedicated low-G string.
03How long until they stay in tune?
Nylon-family strings need stretching. Tune often for the first few days, and stretch them by hand to speed it up.
04Do these have ball ends?
No. They tie at the bridge. If your ukulele uses bridge pins or a slotted bridge, check compatibility first.
