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

I am a professional guitarist and have used many strings over the years, including EarnieBall’s expensive competitors. I find myself continuing to come back to their Slinky line for all of my stringed instruments because their value and tone are hard to beat. These ukulele strings fit my concert ukulele perfectly and stay in tune very well after initial stretching. Because of the nature of nylon strings, make sure to put about five fingers width between the strings and the fretboard when installing to make sure the nylon wraps around the tuning peg enough times and holds tight. The first wrap goes above the hole and the remainder go below it. The ball ends make the securing on the bridge a breeze. No more tying and praying. Great product and great company. They don’t pay me to write this, but I’ll stand by them as their quality consistency is unwavering. There’s lots of string in each package so this would be easily compatible for a wide range of neck lengths.

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.

Fantastic quality. Amazing sound. Simple to install.

I was looking for a low G string for my ukulele, and I came across this listing. First impressions were pretty good, as I was just expecting a singular low G string to come in, but they actually sent me a whole set of strings (including the low G)! The "Nylon Ball Ends" on these strings made them quite easy to assemble, and my only complaint would be that they don't explain the entire assembly process, but instead show the straightforward parts on their "manual". The strings sounded really good overall and I highly recommend!

I recently purchased a new tenor ukulele due to my old one breaking, and had to find some good quality and affordable strings. These exceeded my expectations! They not only were affordable, but look and sound amazing. I ordered the black low G ones they were easy to install and I didn't have any issues with them wanting to snap or break. Now that I have had them for around a month they don't seem to have broken down in a bad way and they play just as well as when they were installed! They are also staying in tune well. If you are looking for some good ukulele strings look no further!

looks and sounds good.

These strings are easy to install for those who wish a fuss free way to change strings. Sound is middle of the road.

Update: My first string broke while tuning. All the others are fine but now I have to order another set because of that. Smh. Just what I needed! Can’t wait to string up my uke! Quality looks great. 🤙🏽 I will update if there are any issues but so far all looks good and comes with easy to follow directions if you don’t know what you’re doing!

Love the rich tone on my ukelele

Parfait, ce jeu sonne très bien sur mon ukulele. Et vive la corde grave !

Great. Lovely tone and easy to fit. That low g sounds just right.

Ho preso queste corde di riserva. A vista i materiali sono ottimi. Questa marca è una delle poche, se non l'unica, che produce corde adatte sia per lo strumento di formato "concerto", sia per il formato "tenore". Per me questa caratteristica è un bel vantaggio, soprattutto per chi ha entrambi questi strumenti. Mi riservo dì aggiornare la recensione quando monterò le corde sullo strumento. Data la marca, mi aspetto un suono molto buono.

Super, voller Klang, gute Haltbarkeit, Klasse
