2x Sets of 6 string Ukulele Strings for Guitalele, E-A-D-G-B-E Tuning

Product Information

To Yamaha’s credit, they’ve managed to design the GL1 in such a way that it has a very pleasant timbre, with good sustaining qualities, making it ideal for chordal playing.

Yamaha’s GL1 is the classic guitalele model that started it all. Even today it’s still one of the first models that come to mind when people think of guitaleles. And because the guitalele is tuned in the same intervals as the guitar, most guitar learning resources will help you also learn on the guitalele. Have I reached a conclusion regarding whether it’s a small guitar or a 6-string ukulele? In the end, it doesn’t matter a great deal either way, so it’s probably sensible to place it solidly in its own category. If you decide to go this route, I recommend these strings for a guitalele with bridge pins and these for one without. Conclusion Coming from a brand known for making the best of strings, this nylon string comes in different tensions and is just perfect all-round for guitalele players of all levels.Guitaleles are great for this purpose because they’re actually smaller than many travel guitars, and are thus even more portable. Rosewood guitalele’s produce a very bright tonal quality with well-balanced notes with accentuated high and low sounds. Rosewood is very common and one of the instantly recognizable guitalele woods. If your guitalele has bridge pins, I recommend this set for the high G tuning – it’s what I use in the above video. The guitalele can also serve a variety of other groups well. Some guitarists simply prefer a smaller instrument. For these musicians, the guitalele is perfect for serving these needs. The fact that it is made of mahogany allows it to be among the most elegant and beautiful ukuleles of this year. Then, its rosette strings makes it even more beautiful. This model also has a nut, for the quality of the sound and an advanced aestheticism. The fingerboard and bridge are made of rosewood, which further adds value to the ruggedness of the baritone ukulele.

The first four strings of the guitalele are tuned the same as a ukulele with the exception of the lowest (4th) G string on the ukulele which is an octave higher than the 4th G string on the guitalele. But I’ll discuss these string options in greater detail below. Strings for Standard Guilele Tuning: ADGCEa In this video, I have my guitalele strung with the D’Addario classical guitar strings that I recommend in the below section and throughout this post for guitaleles with bridge pins for use in standard guitalele tuning: ADGCEa

This is very attractive to beginner musicians who don’t want to build the callouses and hand strength necessary to play a standard steel string guitar.

February 2024 - Delcamp International Competition for amateur Classical Guitar players of a high standard Being the nylon string of choice for top players like Artyom Dervoed, Carlotta Dalia, Aniello Desiderio, and Zoran Dukic, the EJ46 is one of the best strings you will ever use on your guitalele. Aside from the fact that D’Addario has a reputation [world over] for making some of the best strings on the planet, these strings are just plain awesome.

They are actually very similar, however, a ukulele typically has four strings rather than six. A Guitalele can be thought of as a ukulele but with two extra bottom strings.

I recommend substituting a lighter gauge G string for the G string in your standard guitalele tuning set when you try out high G guitalele tuning. If you feel confident enough to install the strap buttons yourself, it’s a pretty easy job if you’re used to handling a drill. At the end of this article I give step by step instructions on how to do simply DIY saddle adjustment if you’re interested in reducing the saddle height of the GL1. How to Tune the Yamaha GL1 Guitalele It’s also comfortable to play because of the nylon strings and body shape design, and as such is one of the most comfortable guitaleles you’ll find on the market.

The Vorson EGL-ST is an excellent choice for young players who want to get started on electric guitars, or even seasoned musicians who want to experiment with something new and creative. As mentioned above, the guitalele comes with Aquila Super Nylgut strings. These strings, along with the baritone-sized mahogany body, provide a warm, rich tone. The nylgut strings also make it very playable for experts to beginners. We’ve now covered the action and tuners, but most important of all, what does it sound like? And could such a small instrument be capable of producing a decent sound? When it’s been removed, mark 1.5mm (or whatever you’ve decided) on the bottom of the saddle with a sharp pencil or very fine-tipped marker.To my way of thinking, Yamaha could have pushed the boat out a little and included a simple rosette design around the soundhole to set the instrument off a little more, but if aesthetics don’t figure highly on your list of priorities, it’s not exactly going to be a deal breaker. If you are used to playing guitar, you will feel at home with this one right away. Also, this Kmise model seems a bit bigger than other models within its range. It is perfect for beginners. On all three models, the head matches the body. In the Yamaha guitalele, the tuning pegs are made of metal with cream nobs. It features an open-style tuning.
