Tenor Ukulele Strings

Ratings

The biggest of the standard tuned ukuleles. As well as being longer than the other strings, they are also thicker.

Tenor ukulele strings are often low-G, so make sure you check whether the strings are low-G or re-entrant before you buy them - I've ended up with strings I didn't want before.

The low-G string will often be wound (nylon strings with steel wrapped round them to make them thicker). In some cases, the C string on tenor ukuleles will also be wound. Personally, I don't like these as they create a different tone from the pure nylon strings.

Ken Middleton playing tenor ukuleles first with Aquila strings (the cutaway ukulele) then with Worth strings (the normal ukulele).

    Hard for me to tell the difference between the strings, but I sure like listening to him play.

    Awesome playing. Adds real class to the instrument. Turns a beach-bum party animal instrument into a classical master piece!
