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

tighten further.
5. Thread the end through the loop 2-3 times,
then pull the end to tighten.

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:
