This was a great video Bernadette. I was wondering...so many of us own Enya ukuleles with pull through bridge. Would you do a video on how to change the strings?
I'm so grateful for your channel!!! I was looking to get a keyboard but it's so big and my room is so small there's no where to put it. So I started looking around and went ahead and purchased a ukulele. There aren't very many channels like this one!! I just printed out today the handbook you have for the 30 day challenge for beginners. I love it!!! You are such an awesome teacher!! I pray the best for you, your family and your career!! Don't ever feel discouraged because you're doing great!!
I really needed a video on this topic cause I'm not a beginner , i play the uke really nicely but didn't know when to change my strings and I'm a huge fan of u ❤️❤️❤️if followed u since the minute i got my uke . ❤️❤️❤️
i love your videos. thank you for teaching me havana and i have been following you since i got a uke and thank you for teaching me this instrument love you!!! please like this🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Do you klean the frettboard with lemon oil when you change the strings? I have a ligth colloard frettboard and it looks not nice where I play a lot? What kind of things I have to do for my uke ?
I change the strings on my ukes as soon as i receive them. I like to know what type of strings are on each uke. And on some i like to change to a low G.
Where's the link to the inlay? I'm also curious to know how the sticker on the fretboard stands up to the test of time. Does it still look fresh after a lot of playing or does it begin to look like an obvious sticker when it gets worn a bit from a lot of playing?
Thanks Miss B..I think Ill try the strings you use. I feel sorry for all the lonely ukes hanging on your wall. I think Im a one uke kinda guy. Sorta like Willie Nelson and Trigger.
I hope you like the strings! I like them so far :) In the near future I’d like to start a ukulele group in my community so that these ukuleles get played 😃😃
One way to tell is if you tune your strings and it sounds off when you strum , hold a "C" chord 0003 and your tuner should register a "C" .......this I was told by someone , I tested it and it seemed accurate .... do you know if this is correct Bernadette?
Great t-shirt! 😄 I hate changing strings, because new ones won't stay in tune, as you said. I usually stretch them gently after tuning, then tune again and repeat a few times. Do you discourage this practice?
What to do to keep all our used strings out of the landfill? Can they be recycled ♻️ or is there an organization that uses them for other purpose? What can you tell me?
Bernadette, I have a tenor strung with Oasis low G strings.... it’s time to make a change.... I’ve only experienced the low G... can’t decide as to whether to stay with low G or go with high G... any thoughts???
I change the strings when I bring the Uke home. I don't like Aquila so I change to Worth or Fremont A.S.A.P. it makes the Uke Mine. I did not change the strings on my Martins.
Thank you for your tutorials they have been very helpful. I am a beginner to ukulele and about to restring my enya tenor for the first time. I need help!! Which thickness of string goes where? Am I correct with G thickest next C next E and A being the thinnest ? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you and keep up the great work with your videos. 😀
Hi Bernadette ! Hopefully you will see this as I really could do with some advice. I just received your Beautiful Sakura concert size for my birthday. I love it !! It has taken a few days to settle but I want to change the strings as they are Aquila and very squeaky and I want to add a wound low G. Can you recommend which ones to get as I have been getting lost watching so many videos and reviews so totally confused which to choose..can you recommend ? Thank you !! LOVE your videos
I never changed it, and i have my uke for i think 8 years. Didnt notice bad sound (maybe cuz my ears got used to its sound?), but perhaps thats why the notes fail sometimes? Maybe its time to change them lol
Hi ! I changed my strings last month and they are doing great. My previous strings were not sounding GREAT so i changed them. And - Is the music reading challenge discontinued ? Thanks :)
My strings stay in tune really well but don't sound as rich or as warm as when I bought the uke which I feel may be a sign its time to replace. Also my C string seems to drag the sound on and hum for a lot longer a time than the other strings?? What is this a sign of please.
Hi. I am wondering what kind of strings are on your Bernadette Bougainvillea Ukulele from Enya? I already have (4) Ukuleles and as of this coming March 23rd, it'll be 2 years learning the ukulele with no music background. I love this instrument, and I would love to buy this Bougainvillea Uke. My husband says "No", that I am crazy and that I already have more than enough Ukuleles! IDK, my birthday is coming up?!? Anyway, we shall see ; ) The Fluorocarbon Dr Moonbeams concert strings sound amazing! Bernadette, thank you for your incredible teaching methods. You're a joy to learn from.
I have a baritone uke that I can capo to get a low g sound but I can't decide whether or not to change my main uke's strings to a low g or keep it at a high g?
Thanks, I should do it! ❤️ My Enya EUT-MAD's strings don't sound bright and cheerful since the beginning. How do you think, what strings suits the best?
If you liked the sound of your MAD, I would definitely try fluorocarbon strings again! The ones I used in this video sound nice 👍🏼 If you want to try low G, then the oasis strings are nice too 😃

Oh this is a good question! I know some guitars get cleaned this way, but I am not sure about ukuleles. Let me investigate!! 🕵🏻♀️
That ukulele is almost as beautiful as you are 👍.
Thank you, Scott!! That is so sweet ❤️

That’s a really good question! I shall keep my eye on this sticker. Here’s the link! amzn.to/3sYc1c1
I was wondering that!

Do you have a video on how to change the strings? I am completely lost on how I would even begin to change my strings. Thanks.
Thanks for the friendly reminder 😅

That works!! I also like to play a familiar chord to see if the ukulele sounds off at all. 😃😃
Great t-shirt! 😄
I hate changing strings, because new ones won't stay in tune, as you said. I usually stretch them gently after tuning, then tune again and repeat a few times. Do you discourage this practice?
This is how I stretch my new strings too!!
What to do to keep all our used strings out of the landfill? Can they be recycled ♻️ or is there an organization that uses them for other purpose? What can you tell me?
Its too bad about the decals, now unavailable.
Please make a video of how to actually change the strings & look after your ukulele 🖤
Bernadette, I have a tenor strung with Oasis low G strings.... it’s time to make a change.... I’ve only experienced the low G... can’t decide as to whether to stay with low G or go with high G... any thoughts???
I have an 8 string Luna ukulele low G wound strings different to tune...
I change the strings when I bring the Uke home. I don't like Aquila so I change to Worth or Fremont A.S.A.P. it makes the Uke Mine. I did not change the strings on my Martins.
That’s a great idea. I hadn’t considered starting with new strings. I like that! 😃
Thank you for your tutorials they have been very helpful. I am a beginner to ukulele and about to restring my enya tenor for the first time. I need help!! Which thickness of string goes where? Am I correct with G thickest next C next E and A being the thinnest ? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you and keep up the great work with your videos. 😀
Hi Mick! The ukulele has a high G sound, so the thickest string is C, next is E, then G, then the thinnest is A.
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic Thank you for your help & Very fast reply 😀
I've had my Sakura lele for a couple years and have been a total chicken. Had a friend change once but surely need to try this 😬
The sakuralele came with the Aquila carbon blacks. I really liked those strings :)
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic I really like those strings too. Time to buy more...
Hi Bernadette ! Hopefully you will see this as I really could do with some advice. I just received your Beautiful Sakura concert size for my birthday. I love it !!

Hi !
I changed my strings last month and they are doing great.
My previous strings were not sounding GREAT so i changed them.
And - Is the music reading challenge discontinued ?
Thanks :)
That might explain why my uke had lost its spring, the pep in its step. I've had it for well love 3 years. Never changed them 😳
My strings stay in tune really well but don't sound as rich or as warm as when I bought the uke which I feel may be a sign its time to replace. Also my C string seems to drag the sound on and hum for a lot longer a time than the other strings?? What is this a sign of please.
The link to the strings is for Saprono. I have a tenor. 🤔
can you recommend strings to buy ?
I switched to d'addario titanium strings on my lanikai and its been a week and they still dont stay in tune. Any tips?
How often are you tuning?
In the beginning I like to tune 10x a day!
Playing the ukulele a lot will help the strings stretch and set
Ok good to know! I'm doing 2 to 3 times a day. I'll up my game and push through to playing it more. It going out of tune has pushed me away from it.
Ah yeah, been there. It’ll stretch soon!! ❤️

Welcome to Uke Acquisition Syndrome (why buy just 1 when you can have 12 ??? ; )
Bernadette!🤗
Bernadette' beautiful beautiful beautiful hair!🤗😘🙏❤️🌹
Tom! 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you! That’s such a nice compliment!!! This is my natural hair texture, no brushing/drying/products used.
Bernadette Teaches Music That is incredible, so wonderful 🙏❤️🌹
I have a baritone uke that I can capo to get a low g sound but I can't decide whether or not to change my main uke's strings to a low g or keep it at a high g?
What are the best strings to use for soprano and concert please?
These... make sure to choose the right size for your uku amzn.to/3olWu1Y
Is it normal if my ukulele strings are clear but there r bits that r not? It's a bit hard to explain but it's like it's not "clean" but it is
Hmm 🤔 I have no idea! Has it always been like this, even when the strings were new?
@@BernadetteTeachesMusic no!, they gotten like this with time, I have an enya x1 concert size. I have been playing for only 2 months tho
Thanks, I should do it! ❤️ My Enya EUT-MAD's strings don't sound bright and cheerful since the beginning. How do you think, what strings suits the best?

Can I stretch my strings too far?
Yes. If you stretch too far or too fast, your string can pop/break!
Thank you,
U r Soo Beautiful ❤
