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
Black color
Cosmetic. Black strings read more clearly against a light soundboard and hide finger grime longer than clear nylon.
Detail 03
Ukulele-specific set
Gauges and tension are balanced for a short ukulele scale. Guitar strings are not a substitute.
Detail 04
Under five dollars
Cheap enough to change strings on schedule instead of pushing a dull set for another month.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the set matches your uke size — soprano, concert, tenor and baritone differ
- 02Nylon stretches for a day or two; expect repeated retuning at first
- 03Strings only. No tuner, winder, or cutters included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do black nylon strings sound different from clear ones?
Any difference is small. The bigger variable is the gauge and tension of the set, not the dye. Choose black mainly for the look.
02How long until they stay in tune?
Fresh nylon keeps stretching. Plan on retuning several times over the first day or two of playing, after which it settles.
03Will these fit my baritone ukulele?
Check the size the set is packed for before buying. Baritone uses longer, heavier strings than soprano or concert and needs its own set.
04Can I use these on a guitar?
No. A ukulele set has four strings cut for a short scale. Use a classical or steel-string guitar set instead.
