what are the manufactured strings on this Uke?

There was a tag tied onto the uke that explained what the strings were. I don't have it handy but as I recall, Aquila was the brand. They called them "nygut" strings, which are supposed to simulate the qualities of gut strings while having the durability of nylon. I like the sound and feel of them and I don't have to retune them that much.

My guess is you have one string not quite perfectly tuned. Are you using a clip on tuner, a tuner app or another instrument to tune? Recommend using uke app for each string, or clip on tuner.

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

I believe all newly purchased ukuleles come with strings, but sometimes low end ones that need to be replaced if you want a clearer/cleaner/better sound. Aquila strings are among the best, I think.

Mine came as a high G string. I'm not sure I'd put a wound G string on this uke, but if you used a heavier unwound G you could probably do the low G tuning. Hope this helps!

hello chip, the snark is an all instrument tuner so it should work fine for your Uke. It's a great tuner, easy to read and quick to give you a reading.

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.

Made in China.......but it is an amazing ukulele for the price. The sound is good and it appears to be a much more expensive ukulele. I love it and it is the right size for me to handle.

Sorry, first Uke so don't know the answer. Holding the tune fairly well so far.

They are steel strings. The guitar is a steel string guitar. It comes with a set on the guitar and also an additional pack. My pack of extra strings was the same as the picture, manufactured by Yamaha.

Hello Joe, I can't remember. The quality was so bad I returned it, ie Frets were unfinished, frets were laid out incorrectly so that C became C# etc.

Not here. I can't imagine why one tuner would behave any differently than another. Your diagnosis is, sadly, probably correct. In addition to Amazon's return policy the uke carries a five-year limited warranty. You can call the manufacturer at (800) 877-6863 to make a specific enquiry. They are great instruments, by the way, and I think you'll find it worth your effort to get the matter resolved rather than moving to another brand.

When I bought it a year ago it was steel. Light weight steel strings I believe (easy on the fingers but the quality of sound suffers a little).

Yes. Geared tuners. The uke keeps it's tuning once the strings are broken in. Nice instrument, easy to play!

I contacted Oscar Schmidt and asked them if it would fit my particular model of uke. They responded promptly.I would try the same and give them your uke info.

I don't believe so. Nothing in the product description says so, and the uke comes by itself (well, and a gig bag). I wouldn't worry much about it though. Just be careful with it, and you should be fine.

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. :/
