Aquila Strings Aquila strings - are industry standard and are highly rated and recommended by most. These are the exact kind of strings a uke is supposed to have. As with any string instrument, you'll need to tune the ukulele to the correct pitches: G, C, E, A. Dancing to your Tune! About tuning issue: It happens to any string instrument - It takes few days to stay tuned (due to new strings naturally stretching). Once it's done stretching, it will achieve a optimal tuning stability. The uke is dynamic, resonant. Single notes have great harmonic sound.
