My daughter did in fact break a string on the 1st day but I equated that with her novice playing but since her teacher changed it, we haven't had any problems.

My two children play with them all the time and we haven't had a problem with them. One or two were on stands. I think one did break, but I am not surprised with the way they play, most things do break.

Hi all I know is my son thats 15 years old got these for Christmas 2013 and they are still working and he loves them and uses them everyday. He is not the best at taking care of things so i would think that they dont break to easy. Hope this helps.

My 14 month old plays w the strings but it would be pretty hard to untie. I had a hard time w it! Ha! These are great.

I got these as a present from a friend who researches products ad nauseam and put them on a Taylor 514(cedar/hog). I think they sound great - lush and full but different than other strings, for sure. They also seem like they are lower tension and are much easier to play. I did have some issues with the low E pulling out the bridge pin but I would re-set it and keep going. That string just broke but after 6 months or more of regular use. I bought another set of these to put back on. I even bought some Plectrums to try on a Taylor 816 but haven't tried yet.

No, they don't break easily. I have given them to four sets of foster care kittens with no problems. I think the reviewer who reported that her kitten broke one of the springs after which it ate a piece is talking about some other kind of spring. Or perhaps a human at her house broke one but left it in a place where the kitten could get it after which it ate a piece of the spring. Not only could a kitten not break one of these springs but neither could an adult cat.

These are excellent strings, they are easy to put in and take out, and easy to tune. You can play any style with these strings. They do not snap easily. We have used these strings for several years. The top violinists in my daughter's orchestra use these strings.

We have not had any piece break as they are made of high quality durable plastic. I personally don't think that they would break out of ordinary day-to-day use. You have to smash them with a hammer perhaps. The only issue we had was when one of my daughters put in the transistor the wrong way around and that transistor got fried. I was able to fix it myself by replacing the PNP transistor inside it.

In previous reviews we had read that the strings that came with it were not the best quality and most people just replaced them right away. We found the same thing with ours--the string was nylon, but very low quality and we bought new string first thing. We also read in the reviews that this was not the best quality ukulele out there, but that it was a good quality one for someone who is just starting out, but doesn't want a toy to learn on. We've found that to be true as well.

Not true. It comes with strings and is playable as received; although minor setup is suggested. I use mine almost daily for (nearly) silent practice.

I don't know what kind of strings they are, but I can tell you that once they get stretched out to hold a tune they actually sound pretty good. I did buy some aquilla's for backups, but I haven't used them yet and I am really enjoying them so far. Had it about a month and a half. Really good quality instrument for the money by the way.

I have had them for about 6 months and have had no issues. I do imagine if they are dropped they would break.

I don't think I can recommend these strings at all had bad strings out of the package the g string buzzed then snapped while tuning . also you may have to adjust the truss rod to compensate for the tension i use martin strings and a heavier gauge better tone

I'm not sure what the stock strings are, but I bought some highly rated uke strings when I bought this uke and I haven't replaced them yet. I thought I would have to, but the stock strings have been alright. I'm sure they are not as good as the strings I purchased, but they haven't been too bad.

No the strings won't be tuned I'd advise in getting a tuner especially since it being new strings they won't stay tuned for long. But eventually they stay tuned.

The strings are what you'd expect on a cheap uke. The strings are cheap. If you are planning on just playing it for fun as a "starter uke" then you will probably be able to deal with them. However if you change the strings it will give it a better sound (not much better, but it will improve). I put a set of Soprano Aquilla strings and they sound pretty good. The body is cheap, so no strings will make it sound awesome. But new strings help.

I got the beats for my sister and she takes really good care of them so I can't really say that they break easily because they haven't. But the way they are made and what they are made of I would not be surprise for them to break easily.
