Does this come with decent strings? Or do i have to buy some separate?

A reviewer with more experience than I recommended new strings, and they were only $5, so I bought them. The strings that came with it sound OK. I would not buy an A style again. I know the A is cheaper, but the F style, with the horns that you can rest on your leg while you are playing, and that you can easily tie a strap to, is what real professionals use. I spend Half my time trying to balance the A style. It's like trying to balance a cup with a curved bottom. The body has pretty good workmanship for a $60 product. It's all wood.

They are high quality strings like from a music store. This is very nice quality, especially for a starter. I am an activities director and have had 2 different muscians use this instrument in their performance. They plated it just fine.

Mine came with Aquila strings. I don't know if they are all like this or if I just got a good one, but my uke has an amazingly bright sound.

no, you provide your own but it does have good quality strings. So often with lower priced instruments you need to replace the strings. You will also want a good chromatic tuner for guitar and bass such as Fender Accessories 009-1160-000 Clipon Chrome Tuner for only $7.11 right now on Amazon.

I do like the strings that came with the Prince silver 03. I'm a 4.0 player and I happy with these strings.

Mine came with the strings - they were already on the violin but very very loose when I received them. I just had to tune them and they were ready to go... but this model seemed particularly annoying to tune compared to my usual / original violin.

Mine did and it also came with extra strings. Seller is great...very happy with the process.

yes it does come with string, but i still ordered a few extras. Hard to string, I had to get my husband and son to string it because I didn't have enough strength. Love this item otherwise

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 believe the strings that come with the guitar are composite core with brass wrapping. I suggest buying new strings, as a few of mine had some damage, and were already stretched from being on the guitar, out of tune.

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin.All the best!

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.

Extra pair. It's a good thing, too; I broke one of the pre-strung ones the first day by over-tightening it. (I am new to stringed instruments.) The spare has kept me happily playing for months.

Yes, but you should use lighter gauge acoustic strings, and you'll have to cut more end off after you wind them since this guitar has only 15 frets (fewer than full-sized guitars). The Martin strings that came on mine were very good, so you probably won't have to do this for a while - and if you don't want to do it yourself, places like Guitar Center will do it for something like $10 or $15 (plus the cost of the strings). (15 frets are more than enough, by the way, 99% of the time for the songs you're likely to want to play on it.)

Regular strings are good - a little shorter of course, to fit the neck, but they are fine.

One string each of G, D, A and E. It's a good set to work with, although I am just a beginner. Also the price is very good compared to other companies, on-line or in store.

It comes pre-strung. The strings that came with mine are very nice with a bright, clear tone, although some reviewers said they had to buy better strings to get the right sound. The strings, like any new strings, will fall out of tune for the first week or so, but after that, they hold their tuning pretty well. I loved this instrument so much that I bought the Kala baritone uke as well. My husband, a professional musician, was very surprised when I told him how much I paid for my Kala. He would have guessed the price at about $300. I hope you enjoy your uke as much as I have.
