Hi, I want to buy this set, but I am concerned about a comment on this page thats says the strings doesnt come on the original package, is it true?

The ones I ordered did... Excellent quality and amazon was the cheapest place I could find them.

My strings came in what I would consider to be the original packaging : just as shown.

My Dominant strings came in separate unsealed envelopes . I believe they were bought in bulk because all envelopes were not sealed. Also they didn't come in the box that includes the envelopes. They are the right color combination. The Pirastro E string is the Gold Wondertone string ($6.15) and not the one shown.Here is the one Pirastro E string I received....Pirastro Wondertone Gold Label Series Violin E String 4/4 Size Medium Ball End

The Strings are what they say they are. Sometimes they put all the strings in one packet instead of individually. Pirastro Gold E is a better string than the normal E string that comes in Dominant.

I have absolutely no idea what strings came with the guitar. When I buy a new guitar I always discard the factory installed strings and string it with Ernie Ball #9. I have used those strings for years and they are so comfortable I never used factory strings on any. I have a Fender Jaguar, Gretsch DE and Gibson Les Paul, all with Ball strings.

good beginner guitar! i would change the strings the originals aren't that great... the strings are higher off the fret board than most of my other guitars but it isn't too noticeable while playing

I don't know what kind of strings but they are decent. If you are new to the guitar, you will probably want to replace them with some light gauge 'silk and steel' strings, which will be easier on your fingers.

Yes. They r in original packaging. And the sound is perfect. It cost about 4 days on the way.if there is any question contact me.

They are originals. Actually the string is really good, I play a lot and it last like 6 months so yeah definitely this racket is really good

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

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 forgot the brand, but they were clear nylon for a tenor ukulele. if you plan on buying the ukulele, buy a different set of strings and wind them up yourself. strings that come with the ukulele dont stay tuned even if under heavy usage for 2 weeks (had to tune them every 2 or 3 hours). I mean, its expected with new strings that they wont stay in tune on its first time being used, but cmon? two weeks?? yeah, i bought a different set and it worked out fine.

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. :)

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.

Congrats on receiving one! They look steel, but they are nylon. Well at least mine were nylon, you can tell by the sound if you're familiar with steel string as well as the end's near the sound hole. For new players, steel string "cut" into your fingers much more than nylon. Have fun!

Yes it comes with strings, but as with all newly purchased stringed instruments, you should buy a spare set. It won't be exactly in tune when it arrives, as temperature and humidity and other variables play a part in the tension of the strings. All stringed instruments should be tuned up every time you pick it up to play it. I'd suggest investeing in a cheap digital chromatic tuner that clips onto the instruments pegheag, like a Snark or similar. A new set of mountain dulcimer strings and a cheap clip on tuner shouldn't run you more than about 15 or 20 dollars USD.

This may be a problem with the way the strings were applied to your instrument as opposed to the strings themselves... or you could have gotten a couple with manufacturing errors (it happens sometimes). Check your bridge, your pegbox, and your tailpiece, see if there is anyplace the strings look "off". You can always remove and re-string those two strings as well to see if that might fix it.At worse, just contact the seller, explain the issue, and get another set. Ask for a prepaid shipping label to return the current strings if they want you to return it.

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

Sorry, I answered the question about the wrong uke. I purchased this one as a gift for someone else. I did play it first before gifting it and I am pretty sure that it was Aquila strings as well. Everything else I said still holds true.

This product comes with two bridges that are made by the manufacture. No name on the bridges. I bought this product and it is an amazing deal for the quality and tone of the instrument! I suggest buying new strings, the ones that come in this set are cheap and dull sounding! Dominant Strings are suggested by this professional of 20 years!
