Love this tutorial. Just what I needed. Very relaxing too if you don't mind me saying. One question about the low G string. I'm new to the Ukelele so experimenting and developing my knowledge. I got a wound low G fitted. I know the take a little time to settle but the squeak does irritate me. Would you recommend an unwound low G and if so which one. I've seen U codes so that's an added bit of info to baffle me. Advice much appreciated. 🤗

Thanks for the comment :) - Fremont soloist flat wound low G is what I use/include with my custom orders :) Hawaii music supply sell them. If not, just google it :)

Thanks, Beau. Looks good. I’ve been using metal beads and it’s a pain. I like your method better.

Glad to help

Beau, what kind of bridge patch do you use. Carbon fiber? Many thanks!

[@BeauHannamGuitars]

On ukes, 0.018” x 1” carbon fiber from here. www.cstsales.com/a-carbon-fiber-shear-web.html

Thank you very much for this video. I did not know what type of bridge I had, in fact I did not know they had different names. I had to search until I found a video with one that looked like mine. I am changing out my G for a Low G on my tenor because I love the sound. I hear I should change all my strings at the same time as a rule, but I can't wait lol. I am still learning, and play a couple of times a week gently. (for about a year and a half now) How often do you recommend I change my strings, and how do I know when it is time? Thanks again Beau!

Usually, all strings get worn out around the same time- especially with ukes as most ukes are strummed. Low G strings do tend to wear out quicker as they are wound and the metal dulls or fatigue and unwraps. If it does that, put a new low G string on without replacing the other 3 strings......But like i said, sometimes it all happens at once. How often you change just depends on how much you play them. The answer is even more complicated as some people prefer the sound of worn out strings as they give a warmer tone.
