Clear nylon
Soft under the fingers and mellow sounding. Nylon stretches a lot when new before it holds pitch.

GHS10 SET Standard Ukulele Clear Nylon Strings Hawaian D Tuning
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Clear nylon strings for a standard-size ukulele set up in D tuning. A cheap, low-risk replacement set for a beginner instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Standard (soprano) ukuleles tuned A-D-F#-B
- Players following older Hawaiian songbooks written in D
- Restringing a beginner uke that came with worn factory strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Tenor or baritone ukuleles needing longer strings
- Players who want C tuning without retuning and re-stretching
- Anyone wanting a brighter, louder fluorocarbon sound
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
D tuning (A-D-F#-B)
A whole step above standard C tuning. Chord shapes are the same, but the pitches and songbook keys shift.
Detail 03
Standard ukulele length
Cut for soprano-scale instruments. On a tenor there may not be enough length to reach the tuners.
Detail 04
Under five dollars
Cheap enough to keep a spare set in the case, which matters because nylon breaks most often at the bridge knot.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon needs several days of stretching and retuning before it stays in tune
- 02Ties at the bridge; you may need to knot them yourself
- 03Higher D tuning puts more tension on a small, lightly built soprano body
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I tune these to standard C instead?
Yes. Tune down a whole step to G-C-E-A. Tension drops and the strings feel slacker and softer than they would in D.
02Will these fit a concert or tenor ukulele?
They are cut for standard soprano scale. A concert may work if there is enough length; a tenor or baritone needs a longer set.
03How long until they stay in tune?
Plan on a few days of daily retuning. New nylon keeps stretching; the pitch will keep sagging until the stretch is out.
04How do these attach at the bridge?
Most sopranos use a tie bar, so you knot each string yourself. If your uke has bridge pins or slots, check clearance first.
