Uke Bass changing strings

[gallowayphantom]

Got a Harley Benton CLU Bass ukulele and looking to swap out the strings, but there no access via the back. I’m guessing going to have to feed them through the bridge, catch it in the body pull through tie knot and pull back

Sounds like a plan.

Don’t forget ( assuming you’re using rubber/ plastic strings like Aquila ) to allow for plenty of ‘settling

in’ - they take ages before they stabilise IME.

There is no other way. I have to get help from my daughter because she does not have hands like spades.

Child labour… you can‘t beat it. 😎

On my Kala I feed twine through from the bridge and catch that inside, tape it to the string and pull it back through. The strings are already equipped with ferrules.

 

The Kala access plate makes it easier but if doing it via the sound hole it would be 10x easier still, and using the ferrules rather than relying on knots.
