Aquila AQ-138 Kids Soprano Ukulele Strings – High G & GCEA, 1 Set of 4, New Nylgut, Sweet Tone, Stable Tuning, Precise Intonation

Ok, I bought these things for my daughter to learn on her Kala "Makala" ukulele. I didn't have a lot of expectations for these strings since they were marketed for kids. I put these on and after about 2 days of stretching, they are sounding really nice! They are bright and help to have a pretty good sustain. Do understand all strings take days and even a few weeks before they really stop stretching. Playing on the strings helps break them in a little faster. Don't get discouraged and it's not really a bad ukulele or bad strings when they just keep stretching.The string colors are vibrant and it will help me teach my daughter as I can call out a color instead of a string number. As opposed to clear flourocarbon I have on my ukes, these Kids strings are much easier to see.A side note, the original Aquila strings that were have said to come from the factory with the Makala uke were the source of my intonation problems. These "Kids" strings helped to fix it.TLDR; These are marketed for teaching kids but aren't just for kids. At about double the price of normal Aquila New Nylgut, they sound great. Aquila hit the spot with these! 5/5

Installs easy. Brighter sound than I expected, feels a bit tight at first tuning. Had to do a lot of stretching and tuning the first day but it seems to be sticking pretty fine after. The original nylon uke strings were a tad bit thicker which I felt was better for first timers.These strings feel sturdy and have a nice soft feeling yet wound tight which makes for an interesting balance. Don’t think there will be any soreness from playing so that’s nice. Biggest plus is the color coded strings for young learners.

If you're learning uke or teaching absolute beginners - take the confusion out of the process. With colored strings, teaching/learning is simplified. Aquila are NOT substandard strings. They also make strings of uniform color. Great strings - they stretch out pretty quickly (few days - a week) and hold tune reasonably well. All ukuleles need to be tuned every time you play them - so if you select these for a 1st string, don't think there is anything wrong with them if you have re-tune.

unlike the ukulele ITSELF, these strings actually came with a color-coded indication of the notes to tune a uke to, on the musical staff! being someone who knew music but not ukes, ukulele instructions said GCAE or whatever and i was like… which one? ended up tuning too high and broke a string, hence these much more approachable replacements.

I put these strings on my grandson's starter ukulele. Helps a lot to be able to say put this finger on the yellow string. They offer pretty good sound. I also bought a couple of sets for ukuleles I have at work for my students to tinker around on. Definitely good for teaching newbies.

Cute but break easily
