how do you get a low g string?

great vid by the way

[uketricks]

@barnsey1069 you can buy "low G" tuning sets of strings online or at a music store. some stores also sell a single "wound" low G string too. i normally buy my strings online at whatever site has what i need.

I recently got my first ukulele, its quite cheap, especially the strings (I believe they are nylon or plastic or something)

If I want to replace the strings, what type do you suggest?

[uketricks]

@dhcrazy333 I've been trying out some Aquila strings on my ukulele. I like them. They are really popular. I'll probably switch to another brand just to try them out after I've worn these out. I like to experiment around every now and then :)

[DRSamSamSamurai]

What type of uke are you playing?

[uketricks]

@DRSamSamSamurai it's a ukulele made by M. J. Franks. He's originally a guitar maker but just recently getting into making ukuleles. I know him personally and have played many of his instruments. I can't say enough great things about him! You can check him out at mjfranksguitar [dot] com
