I actually returned it and got another one that looks exactly the same from Martha Stewart (which was the original one I had)

Good afternoon Christine D., while this was my second purchase of this item I was unaware of a "string" issue as the reason for my second purchase was that after much use the first item just had to be replaced. All this to say, I've been very pleased with each of my purchases as I enjoy a good salad on a daily basis.

I have had no issues with mine and I got it in 2011. We are big salad eaters and use this several times a week.

The strings are installed. Suggest you get a digital tuner so you can tune it though.

Looks like they fixed. But be careful because some sellers (like Office Depot) look like they use same product name w/ picture of headphone jack version.

Sorry, I'm no help on these issues. Maybe the product has been changed since my purchase but I've not had these problems.

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.

Honestly, I think that the anti-rust thing is a marketing ploy. I mean, if it does what it says it does, It keeps the strings from rusting. Really? If you keep your strings long enough to rust then maybe you should consider changing them sooner. :)

If the strings are not holding tune and the adjustment knobs are not moving then the strings need to be replaced. Download jamPlay app. It has a tuner that works well.

So glad you wrote this. I've had the same situation with my Teton since replacing the original strings--nothing but frustration, no matter which brand I've tried. Now I know where to go to get my guitar sounding right again.

I registered mine with the company within the first 3 days, and I believe it does, they will fix it at Oscar Schmidt as long as u own it, it is unbelievable for the price, I got mine for about 135 bucks........ukulele mike swears by these watch his u tube videos, bought a more expensive one for my daughter from musicians friend and I love mine better, hers was like 175$ darcy

In my version, I have notices a couple of typos, but nothing huge, yet. I have not been bothered by them, and if there were many typos in previous editions, they have corrected them for this one.

There is problems with it according to Raven's review posted today (I believe). According to that post, you can go to their website and they have an update.

Our purchase was several years ago. We have not had any problems. I'm sorry I can"t offer a solution.

I have not had to replace any strings. Try Googling for replacement strings.

No...but I've looked on the page and have seen a few OTHER complaints concerning durability. I have on the other hand heard of good success with contacting the Bolse people. Ask for a new one.
