Is the Uke already strung?

Yes it is, but not anywhere near tuned. It took quiet awhile to slowly tighten up the strings to the right pitch. But once it was tuned, it only took a couple more little adjustments to keep it there. I bought this for my son, a beginner, last Christmas, and he and his girlfriend have been very happy with it.

Yes, but it probably won't be in tune because new strings stretch for quite a while. Go to someone who knows how to tune it. If you tighten the strings too tight, they will snap, like a 100 lb fish on 5 lb test line.

Yes it is already strung. This is a wonderful little instrument. Has great sound. Would recommend buying a snark tuner. Ukuleles go out of tune a lot when you first use the strings. The Hawaiian looking bag fits it real nicely and provides some protection for It Lanikai FB-T Gig Bag for Tenor Ukulele 29.00 well worth the money it is not cheaply made

Was not a consideration. Purchased ours for my daughter, but I also have played this uke. The design goes towards that "paradise" feel of the instrument and the music. Everyone who has looked at it at shows has remarked to the beauty of the artwork.

Sorry, I answered the question about the wrong uke. I purchased this one as a gift for someone else. I did play it first before gifting it and I am pretty sure that it was Aquila strings as well. Everything else I said still holds true.

I bought the ukulele for my daughter. She says the more you play it and get the strings stretched, the less you have to tune it. She said it took a couple of weeks and she plays it every day.

Yes this is the latest. And is really nice. Make sure u put the right strings in it.

Yes, this is normal. It takes time for new strings to stretch out. This happens any time you change strings and it's true for guitars, ukes, basses etc... If you are careful and don't just yank or rip at them, you can lightly pull each individual string up to help break it in quicker by laying the uke on your lap or on a table with the strings up and put your finder under he drying about half way between the top of the neck and the bottom and just pull up on the string and hold it for about 10-30 seconds. Don't pull pull until it feels like it will snap just tug a little depending on the which string. The thick strings you might be able to pull a half inch and the thinner strings maybe a quarter inch do this for each string a couple times. Re-tune all the strings and do this 3 or four times and you should notice it going out of fine less and less each time. After a few times just start playing it and you will notice that it stays in tune much better. After a few days if playing, the neck and strings should be fully broken in and you should be able to go anyway where between a few days and weeks without really needing to tune it again (more or less time depending on how often you play it and how hard you strum)

The strings do just fine and produce a good sound, although every uke is a little different so you can never be sure if they'll be good. I'd suggest trying them and seeing how you like them, and if the sound doesn't work for you then pick up some Aquila strings.

The string that came with it were just okay. I play on a regular basis so I have extra strings and I just added some peg drops to the tuners. As with any new instrument it just needed a bit of use and it is great!!

Hi Lee. There are some models that are narrow enough to hold a uke. The wider fork..I dunno. You wouldn't want yer tuners to be bearing the weight of yer axe..only the headstock.

Mine came ready to play with strings installed. Not sure what other setup can be done.

I believe it does come pre strung. I had mine redone right away so I am not sure what the information on it was. It had nylon strings.

I'm not sure I understand the question. This uke is made with & without a pickup. So, if that's what you're asking... Both models are identical, otherwise. Hope this helps.

Yes. It's tuned like the four treble guitar strings, or like a ukulele, so chording is similar. Frets are a little small for my Big Hammy Fingers, though ;-)

it is already strung when it arrives. After a short while, I replaced mine. I bought an elementary guide and followed the instructions. Now I feel like a pro.

The strings are not only included, they are tuned properly. You will have to fine tune them when you play as you would normally.

Yes it is strung. We returned it though because it is not a true orange color as it looked in the picture.
