It's a confusing feature that allows for an alterative stringing. but you can still tie the strings in a regular way - just use the holes that are most in line and ignore the other holes - it's what I always do. These things make me so angry as they just confuse people!
That does happen from time to time - they get wedged - bit of wiggling tends to free them or a very (very) small allen key or screwdriver blade gently done
Ball end strings would benefit people with arthritis who can still strum and hold the odd chord, but never underestimate rheumatoid arthritis where not everyone would be able to tie a knot in nylon strings.
true - but I wouldn't recommend ball end strings on a tie bar bridge. If ball end strings seem better - buy a pin bridge uke. Trouble is - I'm not sure I know of any ball end string packs for ukulele - so you are still going to need to tie beads on to regular strings (they tend to be re-packaged classical guitar strings)
I’m referring more to the concept rather than their availability. It was your comment “anyone can tie a knot” which prompted me to respond. I love you’re reviews etc, but I’m also involved in a local group of people who just enjoy the uke. Some have difficulty with finer motor skills and would find this very task nigh impossible. All the best Baz.
This is so straight-forward unlike all the other video, Thanks!
My pleasure!
I cannot thank you enough; )
My pleasure!
Thank you :) So, I can read the braille on your shirt, but not the little printed letters. I'm so curious. What does it say after "STREET"?
Don't quite remember as don't have it any longer. Was something about skating and the name of the brand (Salomon)
thanks
No problem!
The tuning posts on my uke have two holes in them. Could you advise me on how to string them? Thanks :)

GotAUkulele oh OK, great! Thanks a bunch
I cant get the string out of the bridge. Im pulling on it but afraid the bridge could break… not sure what to do
That does happen from time to time - they get wedged - bit of wiggling tends to free them or a very (very) small allen key or screwdriver blade gently done
Thank you. The wiggling was successful!
@@sonjahackenberg5251 Excellent!
I love to ukulele this video is on learning instrument app .I am learning
That's great!
My bridge has no holes (like for changing the strings) What to do?
It must have either slots or holes. Impossible to have nothing, what model is it?
@@GotAUkulele ah yes i just discovered that is a string thru ukulele. Anyways thank you! It's a filipino brand :)
use a figure eight knot, easy to tie
fat enough to not pull through slot
Any knot will do so long as it's fat enough. Some people attach beads to the end of the strings. It's all good.
