these strings are cheep and cheesy, any guitar player would know to replace factory strings for all but the best of brands, these strings sounded ok to tune out of the box, but would not hold up over time,do your self a favor just buy new strings they are not hard to put on nor expensive.

Definitely. Easy to play and sounds good. Best to start on an instrument such as this which offers quality without breaking the bank.

I think that the strings are ok. Any way, because I am a beginner I di not feel confortable with these strings so I got the Martin Silk & Steel strings, and they feel great in my fingers!

Longer than you. These strings are the best. They will last for months. No joke, they are very good strings.

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

The strings do not hurt my fingers. You do have to practice and toughen up your fingers over time. It is so much fun and it doesn't matter what uke you pick...strings are Aquila and that is a separate brand from the uke!!!

What they were saying about the strings is that they are steel. which is usually used for more experienced users, because beginners tend to make more mistakes which can cause damage to your fingers. both nylon and steel are going to punish you for your mistakes (which well cause you to grow as a musician) but its just that nylon string aren't as damaging, but harder to tune the reason being they tend to stretch a lot before settling . but if the player serious about playing then most likely they'll eventually upgrade to steel strings any way. So i would just leave the stock strings and let the player of the instrument go ahead and learn with the stock steel strings.

The strings are okay. The high E could be a little better though. If you are looking to buy this guitar I would recommend that you change the strings once you get accommodated to the feel of the instrument.The strings are pretty good quality for a 30 dollar guitar and they are playable.

They are great strings for any acoustic guitar. I would go with the EXP10 extra light for a beginner. They will be a little easier on the fingers.

Quite well once the strings stretch ... this is the best low cost instrument I've ever played, and I've been playing guitar over 40 years...hope this helps.

When I purchased it for my grandson it came with GHS strings...not the best but OK. When he becomes more serious about playing I'll replace them with aquila strings. I ha v e played it a few times and it sounds surprisingly good for such an inexpensive instrument. A great choice for an entry level uke.

I think it depends on your preference, but to me, it's not a matter of how the strings sound, but how easy it is to play them. Since I am a beginner, light strings are best for me. My guitar teacher swears by D'Addario.

The strings are of questionable quality at best... I got a bad set too. I think shopping another brand is step one.

I like these strings (Martin SP) in light gauge (high E is .012). The sound is good and I've had 'em on my Gibson for a few weeks now. I tried Ernie Ball Earthwood lights and the high E is a little thinner (.011) and they sounded alright also. Extra light strings might not have enough bass for a Martin dreadnaught, but probably good on the OM and smaller models. Happy pickin'!

I'm sure you could. They should be easy to find in your local music store or on Amazon. The strings that came on my daughters sound just fine, however, they do tend to come out of tune easy. Maybe that's a problem with the tuning keys though. My husband's the guitar expert, not me. lol!
