Members jasper383 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 There's a string shop here in Durham that sort of specializes in Ukuleles. They have lots of different tunings and brands, offer group lessons and host jams. It looks like a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Westsailor Posted September 29, 2009 Members Share Posted September 29, 2009 i need to start searching for the answer to getting replacement strings here. how long are nylon strings supposed to last? straight nylon strings don't last long on a uke. I've used Aquila nylgut so far and have been very happy with them, e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/Aquila-Regular-Concert-Nylgut-Ukulele-Strings-Best_W0QQitemZ110438529108QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b6a63854&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 however, I've heard good things about these so I'm gonna try 'em for my next set http://www.jumpingflea.com/ (click on bushman strings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
