Ukulele Strings
Ukulele string manufactures for standard, concert, tenor and baritone ukuleles.
Here are a few ukulele string sets to try out first. These are sets that have a good reputation among ukulele players. I personally like the Ko`olau 'Alohi strings.
- Ko`olau Guitar & Ukulele Company - Ko`olau 'Ukulele Strings
- Aquila - Nylgut 'Ukulele Strings
- Worth Strings by Worth Creations - A wide range of tensions
I bounce between the Ko`olau `Alohi Strings and Savarez Alliance (Red Card-R) on my tenor ukuleles. Savarez now makes a dedicated ukulele string set for soprano/concert and tenor ukuleles. No low G, so I'll use the D'Addarrio Pro-Arte J4304 for the Low G. I believe they are the same Alliance KF stings that I've always been using just in a ukulele package.
The Ko'olau strings are shaping up to be pretty good on my ukulele.
Ko'olau `Alohi strings are available right here on my site.

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!
Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt
P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!

If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
