CHANGING STRINGS

Safety first! Always ask an adult to help you change strings.

Strings should be replaced when they become dirty or dull-sounding. Change one string at a time, keeping the other strings in place. This is better for the uke’s neck. Follow these steps to change strings:

1.Loosen the tuning peg of the string and remove the string from the uke.

3.Run the end under the string to make a loop.

5.Thread the end through the loop 2-3 times, then pull the end to tighten.

7.Pass the other end of the string through the hole in the tuning post, so that 2 inches of string stick out. Make a loop and run the end of the string through the hole again.

2.Poke a new string through the hole in the bridge, leaving 3 inches at the end to tie the string to the bridge.

4.Pull the end back over the top of the string.

6.Pull the longer end of the string to tighten further.

8.Turn the tuning peg to wind the string around the post. Wind the string above and below itself on the post.

9.Turn the peg until the string makes a sound when you pluck it.

10. Repeat these steps for all strings. Tune the strings, and trim any excess at the ends.
