2.0 out of 5 stars NOT Standard Soprano Strings! PLEASE READ!, July 5, 2011

I ordered these wrong strings ( D'Addario J65) thinking they are the standard "C" tuning for the Soprano Uke.

The D'Addario J65 is the B, F#, D, A strings/notes for ALTERNATIVE ukulele tuning or "D" tuning.

These are good D-tuning strings for the uke. But remember these are NOT and CANNOT be tuned to the regular G, C, E, A tuning or C-tuning.

If you like D'Addario strings, get the D'Addario J53 Ukulele Strings.
It will be a little longer for the soprano ukes, since it is concert sized,
but just cut the extra length off. It is the Standard Strings G, C, E, A.

2 stars for not enough information and wrong "Product Features" description for the D'Addario J65.

I would give it 4 stars if I wanted my uke tuned to D-tuning all the time,
but I would have to relearn new ukulele chord and fingering patterns.

Amazon should show the back of the package as it is labeled with B, F#, D, A strings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't Panic..., September 29, 2011

Don't panic, strings marked A/D/F#/B CAN be used just fine for G/C/E/A tuning... They don't seem to be quite as nice as the comparable Aquilas, but they're half the price... They were for a $20 uke... (And yeah, new $4 strings do improve the sound on a $20 uke!).

My new strings arrived today. Once I put them on according to what the other reviewer said, (B=G. F#=C. D=E. A=A) They sounded great!!! I have no complaints! Now I just have to stretch out the strings so they'll stay in tune longer.
