Realistically, there is no best ukulele string for everyone. I love these strings on my laminate mid-range ukulele. The girlfriend thinks they are too harsh for her solid-acacia ukulele and she replaced her strings with flouro-carbons. If you read the ukulele nerd forums, you will see long discussions about ukulele strings and different people disagreeing about which strings are best even for the same brand and model of instrument. Bottom line is the best strings for you are a personal decision, based largely on what sound you like and what kind of music you play and what is your skill level. Strings are cheap enough and easy enough to install that, as soon as you develop a good enough ear to tell the difference, you may as well try a few on your ukulele and figure it out for yourself. As with all ukulele strings, they do take a while to settle in. I had to tune them after every 15 minutes of playing for the first couple of days. Every 30 minutes for the next few days. Once an hour for the next week. After a month, I only have to tune them a couple of times a week (or when the room is much cooler or warmer). Note that Aquila "New Nylgut" strings can come in either a brown package or a yellow package. Apparently, they are the same thing, but the brown ones are last year's version. There is a different darker brown package labeled Aquila "Super Nylgut" that is a slightly different formulation for a somewhat higher price. Most reviewers say the price difference is not worth it.

Good all purpose uke string. Much better than the older Aquila Nylgut. Like all strings, it's sound will differ depending upon what material was used in making your instrument body. You may find it sounds better when finger picking or strumming. I will be using these strings on my banjo ukulele (banjolele) to keep the sound bright but check the twang a smidge. That's the plan but I won't really know until the strings are on and I've played them for a while.

My husband had purchased a cheap Ukulele for me at Half Price Book Store ($24.99 with beginner book) to play with. I am wanting to learn to play a musical instrument and having been working on and off trying to learn the acoustic guitar but the guitar is big and bulky feeling. I am a children's book author and have songs to go with all of my stories and I think the Ukulele may just be my perfect fit. I looked online about ukuleles and saw that someone said you could put real strings on a cheap ukulele and voila excellent, or almost, excellent instrument. I am not musically inclined (hoping to change that) and have never changed strings on an instrument before. I was able to follow a wiki website and a you tube video and was able to change the strings out and then tune it with a Snark electronic tuner. Amazing difference! I am so excited now because the ukulele seems to be the right "size" for me, and I also ordered a book with a DVD, Ukulele Primer For beginners Book & DVD and this is an amazing book and DVD combo for the beginner. I had to research online to see what kind of strings to buy and even the book/video I purchased had mentioned this brand of strings. I feel so thankful that in my lifelong journey it has brought me to the ukulele. I think I will really enjoying playing it and you never know how far one can go in life if you do not put yourself out there and try. So here I go, and wish me luck!

Been having the super crappy First Act soprano ukulele for years now (don't look at me like that, bought a Makala concert in March, learned to play it and have since bought 8 more ukes, all costing MORE than $15 each, so there). Figured I'd put some decent strings on this painted red thing so my friends could have a uke to misuse while leaving my others alone. I woulda learned how to play ukulele long, long ago if I had known enough to put strings as good as these on it back then. This hunk a junk is now playable, didn't think that would happen. It has terrible wood, frets, tuners (one's hanging on by just one screw, like this for years), everything just sucks, but it now holds a tune for several hours and is louder and way less toy-like sounding. And incredibly, intonation is almost perfect, not sure if that's the strings though, maybe I fiddled with it and it accidentally helped. Kinda sounds like the Makala dolphins I've played but with less bass. They probably include these or very similar Aquila strings standard on alot of ukes now (like my Caramels). If you want the most badass strings on earth for an entry to intermediate ukulele get the Aquila supernylgut 103u's, they are fantastic. If your uke wouldn't really benefit from those kind of extreme dynamics, is really cheap or if you just want to save a couple bucks, these are very good, just don't expect the performance or super fast break in time of the 103u's.

My kid over-wound the A string and popped it. This is on his $20 ukulele, and not long after I told him what would happen if he tuned it too high :( Anyway, after checking a local music store and drooling over their Cordoba instruments, we learned they wanted $40 in labor plus the cost of strings. I ❤️ brick & mortar stores but only the good ones! Anyway, to Amazon I turned, finding these for a really attractive price. Not being a more than a very novice ukulele player, I can't comment on the quality of these versus a another brand. I can say there's a huge jump in quality over what came installed on it, though. These stay in tune much longer, and genuinely make this cheap instrument sound noticeably better. That's a win to me.

These are must have strings if you have an inexpensive ukulele! Often the strings on these are the least expensive string available. Changing to the Nylagut made the Uke sound much more authentic and warmer! Just don't forget - string one is farthest away from you!

I had several ukulele players say I HAD to buy these, to get superior sound. But actually, I haven't noticed any difference. Also, I don't care for the way the white color looks on my hand-made uke.
