Baritone Uke Strings

Post by Graham Long » Sat Mar 08, 2014 10:52 am

Hi,
I'm just about to fit the bridge to my first Uke - a Sassafras Baritone, just wondering how to fit standard Uke strings into a bridge with guitar type pins.
Cheers
Graham

On the end of the nylon string thread a small bead and then tie a knot so that the bead acts similar to that on the end of a steel guitar string. You need to make sure that it's a small bead that will do the job, but still fit in through the bridge pin hole. Then it's all the same as in a guitar.
