The Ultimate Guide to Ukulele Strings for Beginners

When you finally settle on that first ukulele after days of online research…

You think your problems are over.

That is…until you wake up one day and come to the obvious conclusion that your strings won’t last forever.

And the time will soon come (it probably already has) when you’ll need some new strings.

And with that, comes more annoying hours of online comparison shopping…

And figuring out which of the hundreds of string options are right for you.

Doesn’t sound fun does it? Trust me I know.

Which is why for today, I’ve saved you the trouble by doing the research myself and condensing it all down into a single post.

Give it a look through, and by the end, you will have found the exact strings you need…so you can finally stop reading and get back to playing.

Sounds good? Awesome.

Then let’s get started. First up…

No matter what style of music you play…

It seems like everyone develops a crush on the ukulele at some point.

But regardless of which of these categories YOU fit into…

Whether you’re performing on-stage, or just practicing at home through your headphones…

The first step after picking up your guitar has always been the same…

You gotta get in-tune.

While purists might argue that it’s better to tune by ear (and I’d mostly agree)…

In the real world, there are a million-and-one situations when tuners are simply more practical.

Which is why it’s always smart to keep one close-by.

However…with so many styles to choose from, finding the ideal tuner for your circumstance is a challenging task.

So to help you out, I’ve created the following guide explaining each of the different options, and how they compare.

First, let’s start with a brief history lesson…

In the beginning, we all make the same mistake…

You assume that all guitar stands are the same. So you buy the first one you see.

Or worse yet, you shop around, and buy the cheapest one you can find.

And virtually every one of us has at least one guitar bearing a scar from that mistake.

Because as we all discover eventually…a good guitar stand is one of the wisest investments you can make.

Not only does it keep your guitar safe from damage…

It also keeps that expensive condenser mic, and any other nearby equipment safe as well.

The only problem is…when shopping for a stand, it’s not always obvious how to separate the good ones from the bad.

So for today’s post, I’ll explain all the key differences in this comprehensive guide comparing the 7 most popular types of guitar stands.
