Just a tip I learned: when you've tuned the strings, put your index and middle finger under the string and push the string with your thumb, from the bridge to the start of the neck and repeat that, back to the bridge and retune the strings. Then repeat the pushing of the strings and retune.

Just what I needed right now as I broke a string at a rehearsal this morning - before our gig TONIGHT!! Luckily I'd already got a set of the same Aquilas and with your help managed to get the new string on in time to get back out for sound check. Another gig in a couple of days so I'll change the rest before then. Cheers and great instruction! All the best from England.

The baritone Uke can be tuned GCEA like the Tenor, Concert, and Soprano ukes. However, it requires a special set of strings. The first set of strings you had were the special set of strings. Most Baritone ukes are tuned DGBE. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT SET OF STRINGS FOR THE TUNING YOU DESIRE.

Thanks so much! I have new strings, I believe they are the same ones you're using here, except I don't think the package stated D-B-G-E explicitly, like yours did. It just said Baritone low D. This will be my first time changing strings on any instrument. I wanted to ask you if there was a particular reason for the order you chose for removing and replacing the strings here. I would have guessed I should just start at the top and work my way down, string by string...

There is nothing more scary than tuning a ukulele after it's be restrung. I changed mine tonight and was certain the strings were wrong as I could not get it to tune. So I cut them off...... Now I have watched this, I just needed to be patient. 😂 I was certain they were going to break

Was I not supposed to the cut the excess string by the tuners until I had them tuned to the correct pitch? I had tightened them a bit but not the entire way, I thought we were supposed to leave it a little bit off. Since I cut them, there wasn’t enough string to keep on tuning. I’m new to this so I don’t really understand the physics of it but oh well Edit: what happened is that the strings came off and loosened themselves because I don’t think there was enough string by the tuners. Is that it? Did I cut it too early? Why isn’t it coming off yours? Lol

I just changed over from Aquilla to ADdagio and I noticed the D seems very weird. I like the rest tho it’s Like it vibrates or something. Is this something normal. It sounds like it sends some vibrations through the hole of the instrument. Maybe I just to get used to the different tone? I almost hate it 😂 about to switch back

I'm no expert on strings though I hear some work better on others and there are many factors as to why.... tension, the instrument itself, etc. I know a guy who had went through many options before he found one that he was satisfied with. Best o luck!
