There are many strings on the market, but some brands are known for their quality and are worth the investment. In my article about this, I talk about how steel strings on a guitalele is most likely against manufacturer recommendations and you absolutely shouldn’t do so unless your guitalele has a truss rod. Musicians around the globe use Alice strings and accessories that are often mentioned in major publications.

It is necessary for guitalele players must understand the basics of guitalele strings and know how to choose the right strings for their instrument. I now have this low and lush sound with a serious tension, and the strings set in tune in less than 4 hours. They definitely were not my favourite strings for rhythm playing as the bass overpowered the mids and even in A to A these strings felt a little loose and flabby which is surely a rhythm players worst nightmare.

You might find your guitalele doesn’t have bridge pins, in which case you’ll need a specific set of strings that don’t have ball ends. There are also some specialty sets available like standard E-to-E, high octave E-to-E, and with speciality materials like Aquila Reds, fluorocarbons, etc.

These strings can be comfortably used in most tunings above standard guitar tuning, even in F which proved to be the lowest tuning I could comfortably live with. Of course, there is the option cut them off, but it’s an added task to do if you don’t actually need to! You wouldn't get away with EBGDAE tuning with these strings but you can comfortably tune down a few steps without the strings becoming too loose to use. If you are approaching it with an open mind, you will find like me that a Guitalele comes to life when you approach it much more delicately and it has turned me into an introvered player in a refreshingly good way.Aquila's revolutionary new approach —never introduced before us— changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauges almost unchanged as possible is. The Guitalele is an instrument surrounded in mystique so let me debunk some of the confusion out there.

Regardless of how it is used, guitalele players need to understand the guitalele strings used on their instrument. Installing these, after reading the pre-2017 stories of breakage with Aquila E1, G, and especially B strings, and also reading Mimmo's updates in 2016, 2017 and 2018 on improved formulas (for full-sized CG Rubinos), I was still terrified of breakage (I have a nervous personality) so I tuned them up to several steps below, progressively more steps below as I went up from E6 to E1, as in one step below for E6, three below for G, four for B, and five for E1), left them overnight, watched the Aquila installation video here: did the stretching like in the video but more gently and twice as many times, slowly brought all but the E and B to pitch, left those a full step low for a couple hours, then brought them up to pitch with additional gentle stretching. In fact, the only ones I know of are Aquila’s and they have loop ends that are not designed to work with bridge pins. Consisting of Nylgut® trebles and silver-plated copper basses with a Nylgut® core, this set provides a warm, round sound with excellent promptness and acoustic projection.It's in pretty good condition I think except it doesn't have a case and it's missing two strings but it's so old I think I might have to replace all the strings.

Most guitalele’s will use nylon strings in the same way a classical guitar does with electric guitalele’s using steel strings. If you decide to go this route, I recommend these strings for a guitalele with bridge pins and these for one without.If you want your instrument to function more like a travel guitar, you can tune your instrument just like a guitar with standard guitar tuning. If your guitalele has bridge pins then yes, I recommend the same set of strings for standard guitar and guitalele tuning. Two minor things that may be a problem : the treebles are rectified nylon, this may not suit everyone's tastes.
