1 Thread the string through the hole in the bridge. Loop the string over the top of the bridge and wrap it around the long side to the left.

2 Wrap the end of the string around the part that is over the bridge going under, over, under, over, under. The last “under” should go under the corner of the bridge and point at the ground when you hold the ukulele. The knot that you have created should look like the one above.

First, wind over the top.

4 Place the string in the correct nut-slot and start winding the string counter- clockwise onto the tuning peg. The first time around, the string should go over the loose end to prevent slippage. Continue winding the string neatly below the loose end of the string until tuned.

3 Pull the string across the fretboard and up the center of the headstock. Pull the string through the hole in the tuning peg until you have about an inch of clearance when you pull the string up off the fretboard.
