Traditionally, Ukulele strings were made of cat gut but in modern times, they have been more likely nylon or synthetic material. On rarer occasions, you can find Uke players strumming steel or metal wound strings. Many of the brands we’ve listed below are very popular, especially the Aquila Nylgut, and can be found on many beginner instruments. Let...
Aquila Nylgut
Aquila Nylgutis on of the most popular strings with ukulele players. These strings are usually white and made with a proprietary composite material called nylgut. They are smooth, feel dry, and play a bright tone. Nylgut has become famous for making cheap ukuleles come alive with volume and presence. If you’re not sure which strings to start with, it’s hard to beat these.
Aquila Super Nylgut
Aquila recently released this Super Nylgut strings. This is the next step in synthetic gut strings, they provide a smooth and polished feel. They also should stay in tune longer than the original Nylgut strings due to a reduction in the stretch of each string. These strings produce a similar sound to Aquila Nylgut, but they should stay in tune longer and play truer, the downfall is they may not last as long.
Aquila Red
The “Reds”are another relatively new string type, this string has been designed to have less variance in width across all 4 strings.

We would, however, recommend you look into them if you would like to experience playing the “real t...
Oct 1, 2012 · These strings are a very thin flat-wound metal that squeak about as much as regular plain Aquilas, and get wound like sustain, clarity and attack. I think they are a top option for a very solid built instrument. A real lightly braced instrument that could hold up Aquila tension over many years would suffer from these.
