This was a great video Bernadette. I was wondering...so many of us own Enya ukuleles with pull through bridge. Would you do a video on how to change the strings?
I'm so grateful for your channel!!! I was looking to get a keyboard but it's so big and my room is so small there's no where to put it. So I started looking around and went ahead and purchased a ukulele. There aren't very many channels like this one!! I just printed out today the handbook you have for the 30 day challenge for beginners. I love it!!! You are such an awesome teacher!! I pray the best for you, your family and your career!! Don't ever feel discouraged because you're doing great!!
I really needed a video on this topic cause I'm not a beginner , i play the uke really nicely but didn't know when to change my strings and I'm a huge fan of u ❤️❤️❤️if followed u since the minute i got my uke . ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Miss B..I think Ill try the strings you use. I feel sorry for all the lonely ukes hanging on your wall. I think Im a one uke kinda guy. Sorta like Willie Nelson and Trigger.
I hope you like the strings! I like them so far :) In the near future I’d like to start a ukulele group in my community so that these ukuleles get played 😃😃
I change the strings on my ukes as soon as i receive them. I like to know what type of strings are on each uke. And on some i like to change to a low G.
I change the strings when I bring the Uke home. I don't like Aquila so I change to Worth or Fremont A.S.A.P. it makes the Uke Mine. I did not change the strings on my Martins.
i love your videos. thank you for teaching me havana and i have been following you since i got a uke and thank you for teaching me this instrument love you!!! please like this🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Do you klean the frettboard with lemon oil when you change the strings? I have a ligth colloard frettboard and it looks not nice where I play a lot? What kind of things I have to do for my uke ?
Where's the link to the inlay? I'm also curious to know how the sticker on the fretboard stands up to the test of time. Does it still look fresh after a lot of playing or does it begin to look like an obvious sticker when it gets worn a bit from a lot of playing?
One way to tell is if you tune your strings and it sounds off when you strum , hold a "C" chord 0003 and your tuner should register a "C" .......this I was told by someone , I tested it and it seemed accurate .... do you know if this is correct Bernadette?
Great t-shirt! 😄 I hate changing strings, because new ones won't stay in tune, as you said. I usually stretch them gently after tuning, then tune again and repeat a few times. Do you discourage this practice?
What to do to keep all our used strings out of the landfill? Can they be recycled ♻️ or is there an organization that uses them for other purpose? What can you tell me?
Hi Bernadette ! Hopefully you will see this as I really could do with some advice. I just received your Beautiful Sakura concert size for my birthday. I love it !! It has taken a few days to settle but I want to change the strings as they are Aquila and very squeaky and I want to add a wound low G. Can you recommend which ones to get as I have been getting lost watching so many videos and reviews so totally confused which to choose..can you recommend ? Thank you !! LOVE your videos
Hi ! I changed my strings last month and they are doing great. My previous strings were not sounding GREAT so i changed them. And - Is the music reading challenge discontinued ? Thanks :)
I never changed it, and i have my uke for i think 8 years. Didnt notice bad sound (maybe cuz my ears got used to its sound?), but perhaps thats why the notes fail sometimes? Maybe its time to change them lol
Bernadette, I have a tenor strung with Oasis low G strings.... it’s time to make a change.... I’ve only experienced the low G... can’t decide as to whether to stay with low G or go with high G... any thoughts???
Thank you for your tutorials they have been very helpful. I am a beginner to ukulele and about to restring my enya tenor for the first time. I need help!! Which thickness of string goes where? Am I correct with G thickest next C next E and A being the thinnest ? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you and keep up the great work with your videos. 😀

My strings stay in tune really well but don't sound as rich or as warm as when I bought the uke which I feel may be a sign its time to replace. Also my C string seems to drag the sound on and hum for a lot longer a time than the other strings?? What is this a sign of please.
Thanks, I should do it! ❤️ My Enya EUT-MAD's strings don't sound bright and cheerful since the beginning. How do you think, what strings suits the best?
If you liked the sound of your MAD, I would definitely try fluorocarbon strings again! The ones I used in this video sound nice 👍🏼 If you want to try low G, then the oasis strings are nice too 😃
Hi. I am wondering what kind of strings are on your Bernadette Bougainvillea Ukulele from Enya? I already have (4) Ukuleles and as of this coming March 23rd, it'll be 2 years learning the ukulele with no music background. I love this instrument, and I would love to buy this Bougainvillea Uke. My husband says "No", that I am crazy and that I already have more than enough Ukuleles! IDK, my birthday is coming up?!? Anyway, we shall see ; ) The Fluorocarbon Dr Moonbeams concert strings sound amazing! Bernadette, thank you for your incredible teaching methods. You're a joy to learn from.
I have a baritone uke that I can capo to get a low g sound but I can't decide whether or not to change my main uke's strings to a low g or keep it at a high g?
😘😘😘 If you have any tips that will help us identify strings that need to be changed, please comment these below!
Thank you so much for providing this information.
I love your tutorials. ❤️

1-2 times a year?? Wow... I have been using my only uku for 4, 5 years now, playing 3-4 times a week. But it still sounds good.... Haha...
I really needed a video on this topic cause I'm not a beginner , i play the uke really nicely but didn't know when to change my strings and I'm a huge fan of u ❤️❤️❤️if followed u since the minute i got my uke . ❤️❤️❤️

I'm so early wow and this video helped me so much thanks 🌈😘
I was wondering that!

I change the strings when I bring the Uke home. I don't like Aquila so I change to Worth or Fremont A.S.A.P. it makes the Uke Mine. I did not change the strings on my Martins.
That’s a great idea. I hadn’t considered starting with new strings. I like that! 😃
Thanks for the friendly reminder 😅

Hi Lavanya!! Thank you so much for being here. I am so happy to be your teacher ❤️❤️

Thanks beautiful. You're so helpful. 😘💕🌹
Thank you so much!! It is my pleasure 😃😃
Do you klean the frettboard with lemon oil when you change the strings? I have a ligth colloard frettboard and it looks not nice where I play a lot? What kind of things I have to do for my uke ?
Oh this is a good question! I know some guitars get cleaned this way, but I am not sure about ukuleles. Let me investigate!! 🕵🏻♀️
Where's the link to the inlay? I'm also curious to know how the sticker on the fretboard stands up to the test of time. Does it still look fresh after a lot of playing or does it begin to look like an obvious sticker when it gets worn a bit from a lot of playing?
That’s a really good question! I shall keep my eye on this sticker. Here’s the link! amzn.to/3sYc1c1
One way to tell is if you tune your strings and it sounds off when you strum , hold a "C" chord 0003 and your tuner should register a "C" .......this I was told by someone , I tested it and it seemed accurate .... do you know if this is correct Bernadette?
That works!! I also like to play a familiar chord to see if the ukulele sounds off at all. 😃😃
Great t-shirt! 😄
I hate changing strings, because new ones won't stay in tune, as you said. I usually stretch them gently after tuning, then tune again and repeat a few times. Do you discourage this practice?
This is how I stretch my new strings too!!
question: when should i change the strings on my gear???
My ukulele strings: *just break in my face*
Please make a video of how to actually change the strings & look after your ukulele 🖤
Do you have a video on how to change the strings? I am completely lost on how I would even begin to change my strings. Thanks.
I've had my Sakura lele for a couple years and have been a total chicken. Had a friend change once but surely need to try this 😬
The sakuralele came with the Aquila carbon blacks. I really liked those strings :)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I really like those strings too. Time to buy more...
What to do to keep all our used strings out of the landfill? Can they be recycled ♻️ or is there an organization that uses them for other purpose? What can you tell me?

Hi Mick! The ukulele has a high G sound, so the thickest string is C, next is E, then G, then the thinnest is A.
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Thank you for your help & Very fast reply 😀
Bernadette!🤗
Bernadette' beautiful beautiful beautiful hair!🤗😘🙏❤️🌹
Tom! 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you! That’s such a nice compliment!!! This is my natural hair texture, no brushing/drying/products used.

The link to the strings is for Saprono. I have a tenor. 🤔
I have an 8 string Luna ukulele low G wound strings different to tune...
That might explain why my uke had lost its spring, the pep in its step. I've had it for well love 3 years. Never changed them 😳
Its too bad about the decals, now unavailable.
can you recommend strings to buy ?

Do ukulele strings go “false”?
Hi. I am wondering what kind of strings are on your Bernadette Bougainvillea Ukulele
from Enya? I already have (4) Ukuleles and as of this coming March 23rd, it'll be 2 years learning the ukulele with no music background. I love this instrument, and I would love to buy this Bougainvillea Uke. My husband says "No", that I am crazy and that I already have more than enough Ukuleles! IDK, my birthday is coming up?!? Anyway, we shall see ; )
The Fluorocarbon Dr Moonbeams concert strings sound amazing! Bernadette, thank you for your incredible teaching methods. You're a joy to learn from.
Welcome to Uke Acquisition Syndrome (why buy just 1 when you can have 12 ??? ; )
I have a baritone uke that I can capo to get a low g sound but I can't decide whether or not to change my main uke's strings to a low g or keep it at a high g?
I switched to d'addario titanium strings on my lanikai and its been a week and they still dont stay in tune. Any tips?
How often are you tuning?
In the beginning I like to tune 10x a day!
Playing the ukulele a lot will help the strings stretch and set
Ok good to know! I'm doing 2 to 3 times a day. I'll up my game and push through to playing it more. It going out of tune has pushed me away from it.
Ah yeah, been there. It’ll stretch soon!! ❤️
What are the best strings to use for soprano and concert please?
These... make sure to choose the right size for your uku amzn.to/3olWu1Y
Is it normal if my ukulele strings are clear but there r bits that r not? It's a bit hard to explain but it's like it's not "clean" but it is
Hmm 🤔 I have no idea! Has it always been like this, even when the strings were new?
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic no!, they gotten like this with time, I have an enya x1 concert size. I have been playing for only 2 months tho
Can I stretch my strings too far?
Yes. If you stretch too far or too fast, your string can pop/break!
Thank you,
U r Soo Beautiful ❤
