About Ukulele Strings

Ukulele strings are specially designed to suit the light tension, short scale length, and tonal range of the ukulele. Whether you're replacing a broken string or upgrading for improved tone, the right set of strings can make a noticeable difference in sound and playability.

Ukulele strings are typically made from nylon, fluorocarbon, or composite materials. Each offers its own tonal character:

  • Nylon strings have a warm, mellow tone and soft feel. They're widely used for soprano and concert ukuleles.
  • Fluorocarbon strings are brighter, more focused in tone, and hold tuning more consistently—popular with solo performers and modern players.
  • Wound strings (usually used for low G or baritone sets) add volume and low-end definition.

Different ukulele types use different string sets:

  • Soprano, Concert, and Tenor ukuleles are usually tuned to G–C–E–A (standard tuning).
  • Tenor ukuleles can be strung with a low G or high G, depending on playing preference.
  • Baritone ukuleles use a different tuning—typically D–G–B–E—and require their own string sets.

Most ukulele strings are labelled by instrument size and tuning rather than gauge. It's important to match the string set to your ukulele type for correct intonation and feel.

At SWAMP, we stock ukulele strings from trusted brands including D’Addario, Martin, Aquila, and Alice, with options for all common ukulele sizes and tunings.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced player, the right set of ukulele strings will enhance your instrument’s tone, tuning stability, and responsiveness.
