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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

New strings... Happy

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!!

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!

My daughter only uses Ernie Ball for her Ukulele! Easy to install, great sound which sounds very warm and great quality for the price. She states the strings do not hurt her fingers after playing for long periods of time. We would highly recommend anything from this company.

Item exactly as described. I prefer high quality in music. And the price meets quality here, so I had to get them. I highly recommend this vendor.

These are really good considering the price of them very easy to put on.

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.
