THANK GOD finally someone who doesn't put their fingers right in front of the camera when tying the knot
Bruhh ikr
lol
THE LARGE VERSION --
VERY HELPFUL ! thank you!
That's what she said
+georgyorgy2 lol
+georgyorgy2 Yeah just not to you
The 2x4 version made it much easier to understand. Thank you.
This is hands-down the best uke stringing tutorial on UA-cam. I've been playing for over a year now and this is how I learned to string my very first ukulele. I always recommend this vid to friends who are just starting out. THANKS SO MUCH CORDOBA! 💛
otherworldly hey man i’m a beginner, should the G string of ukulele look thiner than the c strinf of ukulele?
the enlarged view was great, although the white rope washes out a little against the background. Thanks!!
Thanks for the enlarged portion. VERY helpful. I wish you had done an enlarged version of how to secure the string around the tuning peg. No one that I've seen has addressed this clearly.
This is the best string tutorial I have found, way better than the others on UA-cam.
Wow! As several have pointed out, this is indeed the best demonstration of what can be a frustrating task for beginning Ukulele players. Greatly appreciated how easy your steps are to follow. And that large wood block in the latter part! That really, really helped show in detail what needs to be performed. Thanks so much!
Thank you very easy guidelines, on tying at the bridge, winding clockwise or counter & cutting the stings so no buzzing. Better than other tutorials I watched.
Finally... directions I can follow! Thank you!
...must be from FloriDUH.
The enlarged version was cool..
Sugar Caine underrated comment😂
😳
Cool? Try indispensable!
pro tip : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Kian Leon yup, I have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
Thanks very much for this string-change tutorial. The oversize mock-up made it easy to learn the proper technique for securing the bottom end of the string to the bridge. As other commenters have mentioned, this is the critical step that is often obscured by the installer's hands in other similar videos. I just changed the strings on my uke myself, for the first time, and it went off without a hitch (though it did take me 55 minutes, start to finish). The uke community is much obliged.
Way nicer than the first one I saw. Especially because of the enlarged clear image plus detailed instructions
Helped a lot, thank you for the bigger demonstration.
The best "how to video" I have ever seen! Very well done! Clear, concise and cogent.
The best Uke re stringing video. Broken down well into easy stages. Well done, much appreciated!
I just bought new uke strings today, so pleased I found this simple video.
Thanks for the clear demonstration.
I was pretty stressed to restring my ukulele with this kind of bridge, but this video is so clear and easy to understand! thank you!
Thank you for this short and very informative how to! I think I will do the change out tonight!
i tried so many tutorials, but this is the only one that found a good solution to show how the strings are attached (with a rope, its wonderful and you can see well)
Thank You so much for this. I no longer fear changing the strings on my ukulele, and as EVERYTHING you read tells you the first thing to do with a less expensive Ukulele is upgrade the strings, this is a massive help.
Love the enlarged example. Thanks so much!
This was my first time changing strings on a Ukulele, and I was worried about the knot on the end. This video made easy work of it and I am pleased with the result!
Thank you for a very thorough explanation with great demonstration. Restrung my Ukulele without any trouble
thank you so fucking much oh my god all the other youtube tutorials were poor quality and this seriously saved me from a fucking mental breakdown at my computer screen THANK YOU LOL
I know what you mean! This made it so clear.
totally agree........"here let me tie a knot with this string and have the camera 10 ft away and have my hands in the way so you cant see anything"
+Mike Burdette xD
This video is such a blessing. It always gets me through the parts I struggle with. Thank you.
That was beautiful - going the extra mile to show the enlarged version - very cool.
Got it perfect my first try because of this video! Thank you.
Thank you for the video. It's short, clear and right to the point. The additional demonstration on the larger block of wood was very thoughtful. Very helpful!
8 years online and still so good and helpful
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I love my uke so much and I didn't think I would be able to fix it. This helped me a lot!
Thanks for the video--very clear and easy to understand!
What an awesome video! I especially love the large version for the tie block section. Well done.
This is the BEST video on UA-cam and it is very clear how to change strings. Cordoba guitars put out a great instructional video
This was so helpful! Even when I thought the video couldn't possibly get any better, it did! Thank you!
By far the best video on restringing the uke. Kudos!
Perfect! Easy to understand. The large illustration really helped!
Well thought out and presented
Wow! I didn't know it's so easy!! Thanks for the slow and close up instruction! Good for beginners like me!!
As a first time string changer, these instructions were spot on. I was surprised at how much they stretch the first time and had to unwind one and pull a little more through the peg so I didn't over run the peg.
This is the BEST video of all. Easy to see and understand.
Thanks for the enlarged version. It is very helpful and clear!
...And I managed to change the strings for the first time!
Now I can't wait to get my new strings! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Your instructions were very clear and helpful!
best video yet..seeing it enlarged really helped me learn how to do this
Thank you very much. After watching this I have changed my strings for the first time.
Thanks so much! So very helpful. I couldn't have asked for more concise directions!
Clear and concise explanation, thanks and well done.
Thanks! Great knot demonstration.
This was THE MOST helpful video I've ever seen
so easy and straight forward. LOVE IT
Great help! Thanks!
Very good tutorial indeed, Everything i needed to know reinforced by the enlarged demo abd nithing else. Perfect
Thanks! I was here to just to see how to tie the strings after cleaning my ukulele. Great demo for beginners.
Super clear. Good explanation! Thank you!!
A brilliant tutorial production thank you couldn't be better.
By far the best stringing video on youtube. Thank you so much!
Yeah. By FAR the best video ive seen on the knot. THANK YOU
Great tutorial!
Thank you, that was super helpful. Love the rose version! Much easier to see.
Thank you! Very helpful 🥰
thank you for this video!! It makes it look so easy, I think I can do this now!!
just wanted to concur with all the others. This is the best video on how to string a uke and get the knots perfectly. I even made a 3D version for myself out of a piece of wood and a rope. Thanks.
Just for the record, there is a knoting technique to use at tuning pegs, which is way better in my opinion in a sense that the instrument holds tuning better. The thing is to minimize the possible slip of the string from/onto tuning peg, as the string contracts and expands or tension caused by playing is applied. So the less of the string is wrapped around the peg, the better. This is best done (at least imo) by pulling the string through tuning peg, and then, after the hole, wrapping 180 degrees around the peg, and then wrap under the string, so that as you start applying tension to it, it is held there. I use it on guitars (classical, acoustic, electric) and it works perfectly (and also saves time!), but haven't tried on ukulele, as I simply don't own one... yet. :)
Great tutorial & loved the blown up part thank you so much 👍🏻
Thanks....by far the BEST "stringing" video on utube
Excellent video thank you so much for teaching me. It was easier than I thought. As simple as that was I had no clue on how to do it. And I just broke the string, so that’s why I came here, and now you know the rest of the story
First actually helpful video I've found. I've been wanting to smash my ukulele and my own head into the wall for like an hour. I'm glad I found this. Thank you.
Really well made, thank you!
Great video, thanks!
i watched a bunch of videos and this is the only one i understood. thaaank you!
Thank you for the tutorial!
this video was VERY helpful tysm
Very helpful. I just changed my ukulele soprano strings. Thank you.
Thank you a million! I'm painting my old sop Ukulele and I was super scared to change the strings
Thanks this is very useful.
Your video makes perfect sense, AND your hands are not in the way LOL.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and time.
Have a wonderful day.
Thanks, simple and to the point, others try to make a full length movie out of simple help.
thanks so much for this! the narrator's voice is really soothing and definitely reminded me of dianna agron from glee
Wow! Thank you so much. I recently got a new ukulele, and while i was playing i popped a string. I watched a bunch of youtube videos that didn't work, but then i came across this video that helped me put back the strings on my ukulele. I'm so happy. :)

Very helpful! Thanks from a total newbie!
Excellant. Clear and accurate. Created by a someone who has suffered through bad youtube videos. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. Best on UA-cam.
thanks for sharing this video it is so helpful
Thank you . This was very helpful.
Very helpful, thanks!
very helpful. thank you so much
Your voice is so beautiful lol thanks for the great tutorial :)
I think what made this video the most useful was the enlarged version of tying the string. My only critique on that would be that they used a white rope with a white background. Still, I've more confidence to do this now. (I bought a used ukulele at a second hand store for my daughter. Needes string and bridges - I think they're called bridges - and now I'm ready to tackle the task.)
Coral snake would have been cool.
Thank you! Most helpful one ive found on youtube.
Awesome....thanks for the tutorial.
Oh goodness thank you...I bought a Cordoba ukulele about a year ago actually, and the intonation's always been off, I'm assuming because the strings were nicked at the bottom. Now I can finally fix it! Thank you!
Best tutorial. Best voice over
this is so helpful i was in tears
Thanks for posting; this is very helping.
This was very helpful. When you did the enlarged version the only thing that would have been better is if the white rope was on a darker background. White on white made things a little less easy to see. Thank you for this video though! 🌟
such a useful video! Thank you!
MsWrongPerson I think it is a demo model only. I have a Cordoba and it is beautiful.
That was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video. =)
Soooooooooooo helpful! thank you!
So perfect
This helped so much, THANK YOU!
