I'm literally tearing up cuz this uke is wat keeps me sane during quarantine
I’m glad that you’ve had something to cheer you up and keep you sane ❤️😀❤️😀. This is a great community. Keep on strumming.

Same for me. We had 2 breaks in band from March - September 2020 and end of September 2020 - June 2021. My daughter got a ukulele for her birthday in November and I got myself one too, for Christmas. That way we can play together.
I play guitar. But I'm getting a uke just to play ballads....I dont know why
@@BOBANDVEG Do it! I did the same thing and it's just a wonderful experience of expanding your musical instrument repertoire.

Hi, just want to say I haven't changed my strings since I've got my ukukele three years ago. I didn't hear the sound getting worse, but mainly I was just too nervous to try and change the strings! Today, I watched your video, took heart (and the strings I got ages ago) and it worked really well! Thanks a lot...
Well, in fact I actually watched quite a view different videos, but yours was the one I actually used. Great job!
" This is generally something you want to do every 6 months "cough cough I haven't change my strings for a year
😂😂😂I know. You’re not alone ❤️.
Yer Yang But it still sounds good, right?
@@dragonmoth96 It still sound okay
Chill, mine for almost 5 years
I haven't changed mine for almost 3 years and now they're starting to break
This video is really helpful. I've already done it a few times, but I always forget how to do the knot (for the traditional tie bridge) 😀 so I'll come back here when I need to change my strings again 👍
awiealissa I’m just going to start mailing my Uke to Katie so she can do it for me 🤣
Any beginners out there who broke a string cuz they turned the wrong knob for a string trying to tune it.....
Just me? XD
I’ve done that!
Exactly what I did!
that happens to me alot but without breaking a string
omg me rn im trying to fix it
I've never changed my strings yet, I wouldn't be surprised if I do that. It's to be expected at least once.
so this is how they restring ukulele... i was wondering how do they do that... for tie bridged
I'm so happy that this helped you. Thank you for watching, and have a great day!
It's actually how to -like- change strings in general. You can use these methods for changing strings on acoustic and classical guitar too. That's probably is the reason why this video is one of the best of changing strings videos.
Thank you again Katie! I decided it was time to change the strings on my concert ukulele, and was guided through the entire process by watching this video. It is a traditional tie bridge and I finished so much faster for the instruction given here. Changed to a set of Aquila reds, and am very happy I did, but if not for you, I'd probably Still be trying to figure it out... LOL.
Just changed the strings on my ukulele and your tutorial made the process so easy! Thank you Katie for what you do!
Thank you thank you thank you. I only have slotted bridges on my ukuleles, but my students have tied bridges so this was SO incredibly helpful for having to restring a uke in less than 10 minutes before class.
Ah, thank you so much!! My uke has been broken for quite a while and I just got strings. I was totally nervous when I realized I didn't know how to change strings. I came across this video and I definitely don't regret it. Thank you so much!!
Awwww!!! This was so encouraging to read! I’m so happy that this helped you ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you so much for this short but informative video! I have been playing steel string acoustic guitar since forever, so I am very familiar with solid headstocks. But the tie bar bridge was new for me. I tried to put my strings on two other times following two other videos, but they just popped out of the bridge before I got them up to pitch! Third time's a charm though. Your technique of looping the end under the main string, then under the loop you just made, made all the difference!
Thank you! This is super helpful. I watched two other videos on changing ukulele strings but yours was the only one that made the loopdiloop clear. Thanks again!
I'm literally crying watching this vid it's helpful but I KEEP MESSING UPPPP
You can do it. It does take some practice, but most people feel the same way that you do. It's ok if it's not perfect the first, second, or even the 20th time. Just keep trying and it will get easier the more you do it.
I recently discovered I needed to do a string set change at 12:15 at night so the ukulele would be ready for "ukulele club" at my kid's school. I've changed many electric guitar and bass strings, even some acoustics, but never a tie bridge. I had it done by 1AM, but still needed break-in. My suggestion: use the existing strings as practice units for those portions you feel comfortable with, such as the tie portion. Trust me, you CAN do this. First, this video is good, so this is a fantastic start. Second, it's new to you so of course it will be a challenge, a challenge you can rise to overcome. Third, who cares how long it takes. If you want this to take 4 hours, then so be it. It's better to take your time and do the job right and to learn from it. Watch the video a few times, especially the parts that apply to your ukulele. I'm sure by now you've taken care of this and you're good to go.
Thank you so much! That was a very easy to follow guide which made the whole process a lot less scary. Now I've restrung my instrument it holds tune and sounds better than it has for ages! 😄👍
Great video...clear concise, very helpful! Thanks Katie!
I like tutorial videos that straight into the stuff. This one is not only straight into it, it is also very clear, thank you.
So happy that this helped :).
Excellent video. Thank you. The camera angles and your moving slowly through each stage reveals how to create knots that work.
Immensely helpful and so much better than every other video or manual I watched/read. Was able to change the strings on my slotted bridge and my pin bridge ukes thanks to this video.
Thank you so much for watching, and I’m so happy that this helped you. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for the tips this is my first slotted headstock i did not know about the direction of wraps. :)
Thank you so much. So neat and perfectly explained! ♥️
a big thumbsup for this video, easy to follow.😊
Very clear presentation. Kapisch.👍
Followed this instruction and worked perfectly. Don't have all the gadgets but manual winding seems to be good enough. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the time stamps ❤️
Thank you for this informative video. I’m just learning to play and needed help quick. I’m glad I landed on your page. Made it easier for a beginner 😊
THANK YOU!!! I struggled for 40min, then I finally decided to look for a tutorial and yours saved my day and my uke :)
I just bought a new ukulele, and I had to switch the strings, because I'm lefthanded, so this helped me a lot. Thank you very much!!!! 💖
Jojo mc you didn’t have to switch strings, instead you could have tuned them the opposite way.
Reanna Jiles no no no noo don’t be stupid
@@ming-zhiwang8409 They are literally plastic strings, no big difference in size.
I'm left handed as well and have started learning. I think you might as well learn the right handed way since you're starting fresh. There's a lot more resources available for right handed people. And to be honest you'll need to have good coordination for both hands to play
@@pinkegg3179 yeah, but I already play guitar left handed so....
its 3 am and im here fixing my broken ukulele string. when it broke i almost screamed. a piece of my heart died today.
Oh no! did you resolve your problem? Everything OK?
Just restrung my beloved uke with lots of help from you? Really chuffed! Keep up the good work!!
First off, nice "GUNZ".💪😁😉 Great DIY on string changes and some great tips I never thought about. Thanks🤙
HAHAHA! LOL. I had to roll up my sleeves...A.K.A take off the safeties for this one :). I'm happy that this helped you :). Mahalo!
thank you so much. you taught it so well-never thought the loop de loop method is actually pretty easy!❤️
So happy that this helped 😀😀😀😀.
Very helpful - thank you!
Hi, Katie! I haven't yet had to change strings, thank goodness! But it has been a constant fear that I would break a string while playing and wouldn't know how to do it. This came at such a great time. I am bookmarking these! Mwah! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💋 💋 💋
Yes!!!! I made it to someone's bookmarked list!!!!! I'm happy this helps 🧡🧡🧡🧡.
Thanks so much! Super easy tutorial to follow!
Thank you so much I really needed this🤗
This was brilliant. Thanks
This was a great video especially since there aren't many other videos on changing the slotted bridges. You said to turn the tuning peg down and counterclockwise to tune up the new string. I did that and broke a new string when I cut the excess from the top. I was changing string 4 (G). I realized turning the peg down wasn't counterclockwise on that side of my uke. I've got it now! Thanks so much!!! I enjoy your channel! :)
Also wOwie this was so helpful, I recently got a Loop-De-Loop bridge ukulele and I was unsure of how to change the strings, so thank you!
thank you! this video was a great help!
Thanks so much--I have been putting it off and now it really just MUST. BE. DONE ; )
Thanks for much for the video. Just recently got myself a ukulele that is in need of re-stringing. It has a slotted bridge ... this video provided me all I need to know !
Thanks a million !
Yeah!!!! So glad that this helped 😀.
Thank you so much dear❤️
It’s really very helpful ❤️
Good job❤️
THANK U. i couldnt find any other vids that explained how to change one with a slotted bridge, which is what i have
Thank you helped a lot with my Juarez's. Many Many gratitude, Pranam.
Thank you. Was curious about the pin bridge.
This was super helpful, thanks!!
My summer activities have kind of stalled my ukulele progress. Your videos inspire me to get back in the groove of learning!
You're so sweet! I totally know what you mean! I have project pieces that I've been working on for guitar and ukulele to help maintain my skills, but I keep getting thrown off my routine ;). I hope you never stop playing.

Thanks!
Glad this helped 😀.
Very helpful! Thank you! 💜
Awesome!! TQVM!!
super helpful i restrung my ukulele thanks to you!
I'm new to the ukulele family. I've been fearing whenever I would need to change the strings. This tutorial was extremely helpful and I have more confidence that I can handle. I truly appreciate all the tutorials you make. Thank you,
I am so happy that this video made string changing less intimidating :). I can't express how grateful I am that you watch and that these videos are helping you. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate you :).
Very helpful Katie, Thanks alot!
I'm so happy that this helped you :). Thanks for watching and have a great day.
Very helpful!! Thank you ❤️
I like the music playing, loop da loop, da da loop da loop lol
I just restrung for a lower G on the 4th, I love it, and it works!
Great tutorial 💞
Hi Miss Katie,this is a really must see tutorial.Love music,love your instruments.
Thank you! I tried to cover as much information as I could without being overwhelming. This is actually the second time that I filmed this one, and I had to re-film it because the first one was 20 minutes long! I decided to make a voice over style tutorial, and it turned out WAY better :).
Excellant video, Katie....You always put so much effort in your videos and I really appreciate your endeavors...... Showing 3 different types of stringing methods is great!....I have not seen anyone explain and show this better than you just did....Really, really good work!!!!.......Oh gosh, am I going to have to buy a Ukulele with the pins now (I don't have one of those)?...lol...you made my Thursday, Katie!...:)
That was perfect! Thank you!
So happy that this helped you.
I did it! Thanks, this was really helpful!
OMG THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for the video. At first I inserted the string twice through the tuning post to secure it according to other advice but quickly pulled it out because it was scraping off some of the string's outer coating. I then followed your method. I didn't cut my strings - other advice said to leave it which I agreed might be useful if a string breaks. I will keep it like that until the strings settle at least.
I watch your video each time I change my strings. Thank you!
Wow there's so many usefull information in this video . Thank you for it so much!
Thank you so much for watching!!! I really appreciate it.
this really help me with my first ever re-string!
please do a tutorial on the little Styrofoam neck holder!
Yes please!
This is better than all the other ukulele string changing videos out there!
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching and have a great day.
Thank you! Your instructions were very clear and changing the strings of my ukulele definitely looks less intimidating now!
That's awesome! Tying to make this process less scary was the goal! I hope this helps you tackle that project.
I'm building a concert ukulele from a traditional neck and a wooden jewelry box that I've had lying around for 20 years. Your video is very instructional to me...
That was very helpful ... thanks :)
YEAH!!! Do happy that this helped :). Loop de loo, pull it through!
Thank you for this. I watched another tutorial that omitted some important details that you did cover.
I did it! Thank you for your guidance. Great video.
I’m glad this helped you.
Thank you so much! I've had a job finding how to change a 'uku with a pin bridge.
great vid, thank you
you are a great teacher with a great demeanor
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that this helped.
This video is really necesary to me becouse in a few weeks i have to change my strings. Thanks ❤❤
Thanks. Great advice !!
I'm so happy that this helped you! Thank you for watching!
so amazing thank you so much
this was so helpful thank youu
I'm new to ukulele but thanks to you and your videos I'm learning slowly but surely. Your words of inspiration have also helped me overcome a bleak period in my life. Can you post a video of that fabulous DIY neck stand? 👍🎶
Great video. It was perfect helping me restring my baritone uke. Please make a video on the DIY neck stand please.
Thanks.
Thx. It is helpful.
Thanx, it was really helpful!!!
Thanks for watching, and I’m so happy that this helped you!
Beautiful video. That Bondi Ukulele looks Deeeee-Licious. I secretly have a ukulele crush on Katie. Big time 🥰❤❤❤
The vedio is really helpfull and it answered my all questions , thank you.
I'm so happy that this helped you :). I so appreciate you watching and for leaving me such an encouraging comment. Have a great day!
Logan you are my hero
Ahhh ty so much now I don’t have to get it changed I can do it myself 🥰😁😁
danke ... hat mir sehr geholfen :)
Great tutorial! I know I will be referring back to this one often, (or at least as often as I change strings). According to the information given here I am almost due for a string change on my concert uke, which I received in late April. I have played it every day since. I wish I had a tenor as well so I could keep one tuned with a low G string, but will have to wait to make that happen. Thanks again for all you do to instruct and inform us. Blessings.
I hope this helps. I know changing strings can be boring or cumbersome, but everyone breaks a string ever once in a while, so I thought I'd make a video. It makes me happy that you'll find it usytoday and for the days to come. Thanks for showing your support. It means a lot to me.
I love your support of the ukulele community with these informative videos, and sharing of your knowledge and experience. Thanks again.
Thanks🤗✌
You make it look so easy

Yes please put a video in the uklele prop thing!
Thank you for an excellent video. I'm not a musician. I'm building a tenor ukulele for my son-in-law, and this video is very helpful.
So glad that this helped!
Thank you for all your videos. I find them all very helpful. I bought some carbon D'Addario strings for my tenor ukulele and needed this video for instructions on the Loop-De-Loo method. But when I was putting on the thinnest A string, the loop came undone and I had already trimmed the length from both the top and bottom since I thought I was finished. I put the string on again using the Loop-De-Loo method and when tuning, it untied again! So I improvised and tried a Loop-De-Loop-De-Loo method and that held. Just wanted you to know. Again, thank you for all your videos. I always look forward to new ones.
So glad that it helped, and thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, I have found that some strings are more slippery than others, so I'm happy you found something that worked for you :).
Yes! please make a video on how to make the neck holder!
Thanks, I'm new to the ukulele and this really helped. ;^)
