would it be safe to put tenor aquila strings on this uke?

I do not play, I got this as a gift for my nephew and I did buy him new strings, but I am not certain what kind they were, I will contact him and find out. It sounds great.

They might be a little long, but should be fine. I put concert Aquila strings on mine, with a low G.

Yes, I have used mine on a baritone ukulele. Eventually I installed an internal pickup on my baritone and it was easier than expected. By the way the baritone uke is a really great little instrument!!!

Short answer - yes. I've had mine for about a year. I have used it with nylon strings on a traditional classic style guitar and at the other end of the spectrum, D'Addario Light gauge .012 - .053 bronze on a Dobro and on a National Resonator baritone with a .068 bass string. I'm about to order another so I can keep one in each case. It has become my favorite capo, bar none, and I have had no problems with it. It is infinitely adjustable, clamping down to whatever amount of pressure you squeeze it to. When not in use, I often clamp it to the boom of my microphone stand.

I have used my Hercules for a uke and it fits pretty well. (Maybe a hair wide, but doable.) The only thing I have ever seen the Hercules struggle with, but it still works, is a 12 string or a classical guitar. I now have my uke on a standard String Swing, which will not support a classical (2 inch neck). That works great and is a little cheaper, but NOT as secure in the least.

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.

Hi Lee. There are some models that are narrow enough to hold a uke. The wider fork..I dunno. You wouldn't want yer tuners to be bearing the weight of yer axe..only the headstock.

no reason why it should not work with a baritone uke. tuner is very easy to use and does the four thin strings of my guitar very acurately. that is same (standard) tuning as baritone uke i.e. dgbe. have had no problems tuning guitar or tenor uke with this one.

I don't see any issues with using this product to hang a tenor Uke... I am not sure which U-bass you have, if it is a 4 string acoustic body style, ..should not be a problem, if it is the solid body electric 5 string Ubass (like a Kala), I cannot be sure.. I have had my Ibanez 5 string bass on mine, as well as HD 28 Martin acoustic, Tele's, Strats, and my F5 Mandolin.... I would think these will handle any musical instrument, unless it is a "headless" model...

I wouldn't, mainly because electric strings don't have projection as acoustic strings thus defeats the purpose of an acoustic guitar. You also have string tension and intonation to worry about too. I would go with custom lights or lights acoustic guitar strings if you wanted a lighter strings on your acoustic.

Install a Piezo pick-up on the uke and you'll be home free. A keyboard has 5 times the range of a string instrument so a uke and a keyboard would be no problem at all.

You sure can. I wouldn't use the factory strings because they rattled when I first got my bass, so I replaced them. Turn the bottom knob all the way counterclockwise, or whatever you like, and you'll get some nice sustained notes with little effort, just right for laying on as much vibrato as you can stand. Keep the action low on the fingerboard and you can have a lot of sound with very little bow and plucking effort, unless callouses are your thing. Enjoy.

With a 6-inch gap in the base and nearly 2-foot span between base and neck holder, I would say NO. Unless you have a jumbo Uke.

I assume it can.. might not sound right because its speaker is meant for magnet type of pickups. so it would not sound like a uke or other acoustic instrument

I'm pretty sure you'd just put regular strings on it, although with the variety of 3/4 size guitars out there, they may make strings specific.

Geraldine, I use the stand for a soprano, but see no reason a tenor uke wouldn't also fit. Good luck. Richard

You're not going to damage it. Those are standard strings. I use them with all of my guitars. Trust me, you're good. If you want to ask me some questions about getting started, post your email in a response and I will happily guide you through it.
