First, compare these specifications with the strings currently on your instrument. This gives you a useful starting point when choosing a replacement. Then check the available options before adding the product to your cart.

Plan your next string change

If you want to keep a familiar playing feel, start with the specifications of your current set. However, if you plan to change gauge, material or tension, check your instrument maker’s recommendations first. Your teacher or repair technician can also help you choose a suitable setup.

During installation, bring each string up to pitch gradually. Then check the tuning again before playing. A change in your string setup may require an adjustment to maintain comfortable action and accurate intonation.
