Stringing the Uke

 

➊Insert string through bridge hole from the side closest to the sound hole, and pull through at least a few inches. NOTE – (make sure you got the right string). 4g 3c 2e 1a

 

➋Wrap the short side that you just put through the bridge hole around the long side of the string, then wrap it around itself twice (or once on the C and E string). Hold the short side pointing down against the bridge and pull the long end tight until locked.

 

➌Set the tuners, or tuning keys, with the holes pointing towards the top and center of the headstock.

 

➍Take the long end of the string and put it through the correct nut slot and pull until taught(do not put through nut slot yet). Pinch string where it enters the nut slot and pull back a distance of 2 frets, creating relief.

 

➎Insert string through tuner from the inside and wrap string around the tuner head once over the excess string and then under until tight. Tune to pitch!
