How to change your ukulele strings

A couple of weeks ago I put new strings on a couple of my ukuleles.  I thought to myself, "why haven't I blogged about this?".  Changing your uke strings for the first time can be sort of intimidating, but it is in fact a very simple process.  Here is a fantastic "Uke Minutes" video from the nice folks at Ukulele Underground that shows you how to re-string your uke with both kind of bridges.  They do a much better showing you how to do than I ever could, so why try to re-invent the wheel, right?

The Uke Minute videos are a really fantastic source of all kinds of information, so I encourage you to browse through them a bit.

Hope this link helps and happy uke'n!
