Maybe you’ve been practicing a lot, and now your uke needs restringing. Perhaps you just bought a new instrument, and you’re not so happy with how the stock strings sound. Either way, a new set can make a noticeable difference in the intonation, but which one should you choose? Today, we’ll share five of the best ukulele strings to help you decide.

Product Recap
Aquila’s black 115U Lavas and pearl-colored 107Us provide a feel and sound that’s as close to actual gut strings as you’ll get without getting any animals involved. But if you play a baritone uke, the Nyltech EJ88B from D’Addario would be a decent alternative. If, however, you want a basic nylon set that gets the job done, Fender’s California Cost series would be the way to go.
No matter what set you choose, don’t rush to judgment. Let your strings settle for a week or two before deciding if they’re good enough.
