Anyone use these on an Oscar Schmidt OU2e? Do they make a significant difference over the strings that ship with the uke?

The OU2 I purchased in early Dec came with Aquila Nylgut on it. If yours doesn't have them why not try them and judge for yourself, for $6-8.00 what's to loose. Many reviewers seem to like them and my local music store spoke highly of them.

Most definitely. They adjust very easily. I use these for my soprano uke, tenor uke, tenor banjo, and all kinds of guitars. Some basses might have too wide a neck to fit though.

I haven't tried these yet, my preference has always been D'Addario but I'm going to order them anyway. As to the question, for acoustic I would NEVER tune them up. If you like open chords, just get a capo and raise it up as much as you want.

I have found on my Martin that the strings are not very loud so I prefer to use a hard pick. I dont finger pick much but these strings are definitely quieter than others I have used. They have a different sound to them, I would suggest trying a set to see if they work for you. Ive been using them for over a year now and been happy with them.

I upgraded to Thomastik Dominant Violin String set Ball End strings. I'm a novice and it was easy to change strings, I had no issues with the fine tuners.

Dimitri and David W. have given you good dimension info.The image shown does not match the description of this uke. I actually ran in to this problem when I ordered one as a gift for my husband recently. I ordered from the image and was expecting an OU2T and received and OU2P that I had to exchange. The OU2P is the pineapple shape. The OU2T is the tenor body with a waist. You can see the difference between the shapes here: http://www.oscarschmidt.com/products/ukes/ I pointed out the error to Amazon and they have apparently not fixed it. :/

It will probably work fine. I found that larger diameter strings tended not to get hooked on the openings for the pads of your fingers. Consequently, I liked these better playing the Dobro than Banjo.

I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm. When I tried to bend one a bit it snapped in half.I've had a classical guitar, as well, the strings are definitely thicker than a ukulele's, I think that these MIGHT work.I also don't have very strong fingernails, I used to bite them and only stopped a few years ago. But, after trying it out, I would say to grow them out a bit and shape them into rounded points. Then try picking. Your nails should eventually get stronger, and the shape really helps. It's way better than using a pick, especially for Spanish guitar. Arpeggio is nearly impossible with a pick.Whatever you do, don't give up. I bought them for my ukulele, but they were much too firm.

Well, I do not think so. I have checked with my 3 classical instruments (from different makers) and the string spacing are almost the same. The difference is not a major issue, I always played only classical guitar and the feeling when playing with SLG130NW is very similar.I am very happy with this Yamaha guitar. Pls consider a good acoustic amplifier (mine is a Behringer Ultracoustic ACX 450).

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.

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.

I don't know specifically, but I don't think there is anything unusual in the size or shape of the Oscar Schmidt concert uke that I bought, and it fits perfectly in the case.

Either strings will work just fine. I prefer the bronze strings as I feel the have a richer tone and sound

I have these strings on a non baritone Schecter Hellraiser Deluxe set up and tuned to B Standard tuning. It is absolutely amazing to play and sounds incredible. I took my guitar to a reputable luthier and guitar technician to get it professionally set up with the baritone strings about 2 years ago and it still plays wonderfully.
