Strike 1: First, the strings that I received were a lighter gauge than what is pictured in at the top of the item page. The code, M630, was the same but they ranged from .021-.035. This minor difference was not detrimental; I'm just saying.

Strike 2: Out of the box, the second heaviest string (what would tune to a G on a baritone uke) was unraveled about 4 inches from the end. I just cut it off and strung my uke like normal, since it was still long enough.

Strike 3: After playing the strings regularly for only 10 days, I noticed a buzz on one of my lower strings. Sure enough, it had come unraveled at the sixth fret and was rubbing against the metal fret bar.

Had these strings been more expensive or bought at a local shop, I would have demanded my money back. Since they were bought on Amazon for only $5, I felt it wasn't worth the hassle. I will never buy these again.

I think there are few options out there for baritone ukulele string sets but these are the ones that I like to buy. They are pretty long lasting and they aren't too pricey. What I really like is the wound D and G strings. The regular nylon B and E strings are nice and smooth and they make even my little white wood baritone ukulele sound reasonably good.

Reasonable tone & durability, particularly in light of their budget price. They string an old Taiwanese laminate I leave in the corner for a quick strum.
