How To String a Ukulele (quick and simple) [Hix Bros. Music]

[@conartist267]

I never bring the individual strings to pitch while the others are off. You put the string on and you bring them up slowly together to keep the tension as even as possible across the neck. You do have to be careful because uneven pressure can assist in necks twisting.

[@sunnyseal8876]

Yes, he clearly shows how to make it go over then down when putting these strings on so they don't slip at the pegs. That's what I needed to see. Thank you.

I appreciate new ideas, methods, and ways to improve whatever I do in life. Hix brothers just introduced me to a different approach in changing the Ukulele strings. Mahalo brah from this Hawaiian Braddah!

[@brenttrek]

New ukulele owner, wanted to get some better strings on it. Watched a handful of stringing videos and just wasn't getting it right at the peg. This saved my day.

[@DefaultMale_]

Only 8 years late! Thanks a lot though! This was way more helpful than any newer video out there.

[@RickSuaz]

Thanks a lot mate,this video is the best out there. Not all Heroes wear Cape.

[@secretdaisy6484]

This is really helpful. I was going to have this done but I'm confident I can do this reasonably well. Thanks.

[@BuNNDoGG]

string number three which would be our second string??? How does that make sense? Maybe explain the 1st string is usually highest pitch but... ukulele? different.

[@CoastGuardLeo]

Thanks for your description. I am totally blind so these good verbal descriptions help. I'm waiting for mine to get here so I will just take the strings off slowly so I can better tell what you meant by the tail and wrapping. I was once a bass player.

[@luckym0nk3y]

Thank you very much for this informative video! Im off building my uke. So long!

[@pianowithkady]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@mikearmstrong7318]

Peter, Great explanation on the stringing segment of this operation. Since I'm brand new to this instrument, can you enlighten me as to what sequence the strings are installed. For instance, I have a baritone uke so the tuning is D-G-B-E. Is the D string at the top or bottom? My wife has a soprano uke with G-C-E-A tuning; so is the G at the top or bottom? I must restring both instruments since they're ancient and don't seem to hold their notes more than a strum or two. I'd like to do this right the first time. Thanx for your help!

[@Makanimusic]

Very helpful video. Now we know how to change the strings! Mahalo nui loa for your kokua!!!! (thanks for your help)

[@denisenadeau5243]

really helpful

[@davidedolcini4762]

For cutting the strings on the peg how many frets will you count on soprano, concert etc? Is the lenght of the strings the same for different brands? BTW thanks for the vid

[@RavenMadd9]

what brand ukulele is that ?

[@camcordertv]

Amazing video... thank you

[@JCDealy]

Nicely done! This is a watch later video, Thanks. ;-)

[@elipsesdotdotdot2674]

Is it tenor/baritone or do you just put your strings on in the wrong order?

[@jordanr2244]

theres no oder to put strings in.

[@beverlyparrish9846]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, NOW I KNOW HOW TO STRING MY UKULELE!!:)

[@mikelheron20]

Perhaps I'm mean but I don't cut the strings so that I can keep them for spares. (Better than nothing in an emergency).

[@jordanr2244]

spare? you should never use the same string..it will sound like shit

[@haniyyahn]

good explanation

[@ZForce72]

drumhead soundchecks?

[@josephwoods3552]

Wow, just showed up in my youtube feed 8 years later. Nice demo, but hey peter, strings are not tools

[@maryhoran21]

I was gonna string my ukulele myself but after watching this I think I'll mess it up haha I'll just go to my music store and have them do it

[@ZaddyGotchu]

steel wool on frets??? this guy is crazyy. id never torture my instrument like that

[@brandonspaulding6887]

While immeditaly it sounds horrible, 4 is so fine that you can touch both heads of a 9 volt battery to it and it will catch fire.

[@MrFrampo56]

Brandon Spaulding Wow! WTF? You are soooo insane !

[@timbedgood937]

Just doing mine today. Gives the frets a nice smooth polish. I clean very will with Dunlop 65 after that. (Actually I use Naphtha in between the steel wool and oil but I'm hesitant to say it because some people freak out about using Naphtha on a nice Uke.

[@johnpaulwindow5045]

I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about easy ukulele songs for beginners try Basarto Ukulele Blueprint (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my partner got cool success with it.

[@juliencloud23]

...it doesn't seem like you completely know what you're doing, man. Never cut your strings before you're done restringing.

[@mikeyelric1300]

Allison Larabee also don't you wrap the string twice at the bridge to prevent slipping?

[@juliencloud23]

Anaphora, I wrap it three or four times just in case.

[@juliencloud23]

I meant knots. Haha. You can wrap it once and use multiple knots

[@Feverm00n]

I’m wondering if he did it that way bc it looked like he was using wound Low G and C strings? Maybe they get put on differently??
