in the bridge, leaving 3 inches at the
end to tie the string to the bridge.

loop.
6. Pull the longer end of the string to
tighten further.
5. Thread the end through the loop 2-3 times,
then pull the end to tighten.
8. Turn the tuning peg to wind the
string around the post. Wind the
string above and below itself on the
post.

1. Loosen the tuning peg of the
string and remove the string
from the uke.
9. Turn the peg until the string makes a sound when you pluck it.
10. Repeat these steps for all strings. Tune the strings, and trim any excess at the ends.
Safety first! Always ask an adult to help you change strings.
Strings should be replaced when they become dirty or dull-sounding. Change one
string at a time, keeping the other strings in place. This is better for the uke’s neck.
Follow these steps to change strings:

7. Pass the other end of the string through
