Maybe, depending on the Ukulele. The uke is designed to be strung with gut or nylon strings. Metal is very likely to over stress the instrument. The larger ukuleles are more likely to have a metal string.

Note that some strings, such as those for a banjolele or a bass ukulele, are wound with very thin wire to make it vibrate in the correct areas.

Why can metal be hammered without breaking?

Metals have a crystalline structure that allows them to deform plastically without breaking when hammered. The atoms in the metal can slide past each other, allowing the metal to change shape without forming new cracks or fractures. Additionally, metals typically have high ductility and malleability, which means they can be shaped and molded without breaking under the force of the hammer.

How can the shape of metal be changed with out it breaking?

Metal can be reshaped without breaking by using techniques such as heating and hammering (forging), rolling, or pressing. These methods help to alter the metal's shape by making it more pliable and allowing it to be formed into the desired shape without causing it to fracture. Proper temperature control and working the metal gradually can help prevent it from breaking during the shaping process.
