Ernie Ball Concert & Tenor Nylon Ball End Ukulele Strings Wound G, Black (P02327)

I have ten ukuleles in my house that are all different when it comes to size, tone woods, construction, and features (tuners, bridge, nut, saddle, etc.). Here’s one thing I know: every instrument responds differently to strings based on all the construction variables. I put this set of low G and black nylon strings on my solid spruce top uke to mellow it out a bit, and now it is perfect. With the previous fluorocarbon strings it was just too snappy sounding. The Ernie Ball black nylons give it outstanding sound with good projection, clear ringing with each note, and the black color is a sweet look to boot. Interestingly, I had a set on a high gloss solid mahogany tenor ukulele and I thought the sound was just ok. Not bad, but not great. It’s important to note that It’s hard to call a string “bad” (like reviewers often do) when it’s just not the string set’s fault that it is poorly matched with the instrument. That being said, it’s a crying shame that many of the instruments being sold these days come with the thick synthetic nylon marketed as similar to old school gut. Sure, those strings are durable and have good tuning stability, but they are thick and stiff, and the tone is often dull with a C string “thuds.” Those strings actually ARE bad, but I understand why uke manufactures include them on entry level and value ukuleles — it prevents new players from breaking strings b when they are mistakenly using guitar picks, or they are writing bad reviews because the instrument goes out of tune easily when new. Like all nylon, these E.B.’s will take some time for them to stretch out and stabilize. That is not a flaw, but the reality of nylon strings. I am pleased with these Ernie Ball strings and will keep using them on one or two specific instruments. Price is right and they are easy to play. BIG BONUS with these is the ball ends. It makes stringing a snap. I wish more string guys followed suit.

I recently purchased a new tenor ukulele due to my old one breaking, and had to find some good quality and affordable strings. These exceeded my expectations! They not only were affordable, but look and sound amazing. I ordered the black low G ones they were easy to install and I didn't have any issues with them wanting to snap or break. Now that I have had them for around a month they don't seem to have broken down in a bad way and they play just as well as when they were installed! They are also staying in tune well. If you are looking for some good ukulele strings look no further!

Very durable these strings are quality. The sound is beautiful and it stays in tune.

Installed these on one of my ukuleles. They have been easy to install and tune. Love the low G string! Nice quality and great tone!

Sound quality a plus and they feel great! Value for your money for sure. They look fabulous! Tend to get more!! I love the end ball feature!!

Great sound. Will be getting Ernie Ball in the future next time I need a pair of strings

I have a Kala low G cutaway tenor ukulele. I've tried ALL the other brands with nylon, fluorocarbon, wounds,etc but didn't find the sound I was looking for. Tried the Ernie Ball black liw G strings and that was it. Nice loud, warm sound. Easy to install with ball ends. No excessive stretching. Tuned right up. Nice feel under the fingers while playing. Going to order more for my next string change.

I have always used Aguila and have tried all their different styles. I had the Red last time and they were nice at first but then wore out quickly and wouldn't stay in tune. I decided to try the Ernie Ball ones. Immediately they look and feel much higher quality than the Aguila. The sound is medium loudness and very smooth, play is buttery, they broke in fast and look great. I like the look of the gold wound 4th string with the other standard clear strings on my Uke. So far loving these and probably going to stick with them from now on.
