Welcome Back Ukelin Strings!

THEY'RE HEEEEERE! Join me in a hearty Welcome Back to ukelin strings, which have been unavailable for 45 years. We are now on to our second run of string production!

Old metal strings experience metal fatigue, are dead in tone and tuning becomes difficult. New strings improve your instrument's playability, tone and tuning.

Due to semi-popular demand, replacement strings are now available individually as well!

PLEASE NOTE: These are Ukelin Strings NOTViolin-Uke Strings. (I don't want anyone to be disappointed.)

Need Violin-Uke strings, NOT Ukelin strings?

Violin-Ukes are shaped differently than the ukelin, and ukelin strings do not work on them. If you're not sure if you have a Ukelin or a Violin-Uke, Violin-Ukes have a decal inside the soundhole with the name "Marxochime Colony" on it.

If you need Violin-Uke strings, please write me! ukelins@hotmail.com Sorry, these are NOT available at this time. I'm considering producing Violin-Uke strings as well, although I'm not sure if there's enough popular demand to warrant the logistics. I need to hear from you!
