Start by securing the string to the bridge securely. This can require a knot, or a wrap technique, or even a small bead on the end of the string. Take the other end of the string and insert it in the tuning peg. Pull tight on the string and turn the peg until the string is taut. You do not want to have more than one layer of string on any of the tuning pegs. Cut any loose ends off the string. Repeat these steps for the rest of the strings on the Ukulele.

Why is the C string white on the ukulele that Train uses?
Typical ukulele strings are tuned at G, C, E, and A. The C string on a normal ukulele is the lowest string on the instrument. That is because the ukulele uses re-entrant tuning where the G string (4th string) is generally a high G one octave above what would be expected and the second highest string in tone next to the A string (1st string). The white C string (3rd string) is usually the largest string and lowest sounding of the four. Low strings are sometimes wrapped with a very fine aluminum wire to allow it to vibrate correctly. It makes it appear white compared to the other strings, which are typically not wrapped, but plain nylon. Depending on the type of string you buy usually ALL four strings are made of nylon. Some ukulele players, such as the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole of Hawa'ii, use a low G. The low G, although still smaller in diameter than the C string, is a wound string usually wrapped with silver or aluminum, which gives it the low tonal sound. This is the only time you will see a wound string on a ukulele unless it is a baritone or bass. But on a concert or tenor uke, the large white string you see is simply nylon or gut and is thicker than the others.
