Description

Designed for tenor ukulele, the D’Addario EJ88T Nyltech set delivers a warm, musical voice with easy playability. It is ideal for beginners learning their first chords, returning players refreshing a well loved instrument, and experienced performers who want a reliable spare set that settles in quickly. If your factory fitted strings feel dull, stiff or go out of tune, this set offers an immediate upgrade with a smooth feel and clear, balanced tone across all four strings. Whether you strum traditional songs, accompany singing or explore fingerstyle, these strings respond consistently and help your uke sound open, rounded and in tune from the first session.

What sets Nyltech apart is its precise monofilament formulation, engineered to combine the warmth of classic nylon with an articulate attack and strong projection. Each string is manufactured to tight tolerances for even tension, so chords ring in tune and melodies intonate cleanly up the neck. The surface is supple under the fingers and resists squeaks and stickiness, making slides and position shifts effortless. Compared with basic student grade sets, EJ88T offers improved stability, longer lasting tone and a more confident feel that rewards expressive strumming and delicate picking alike. Durable construction means fewer changes, while the balanced set profile keeps your instrument lively without feeling hard on the hands.

For UK tuition and school ensembles, this set brings dependable tuning and clarity that save lesson time and support accurate listening. The strings settle in promptly after fitting, so students spend less time retuning and more time developing rhythm and technique. Comfort is a priority, and the gentle tension is friendly for smaller hands without sacrificing volume, which suits group work and classroom use. Clear packaging and string identifiers make installation straightforward for teachers and parents. Offering strong value and a noticeable tonal lift over many stock strings, D’Addario EJ88T is a sensible choice for regular practice, graded study and weekend performances, keeping a tenor uke sounding cheerful and ready to play.

Features

Warm, balanced Nyltech tone

Nyltech monofilament delivers a rich, rounded voice with clear note definition, giving your tenor ukulele a pleasing warmth that still projects in an ensemble. The formulation is designed to balance body and brightness, so strumming sounds full while picked melodies remain articulate and tuneful.

Optimised for tenor scale and intonation

This EJ88T set is tailored for tenor scale instruments to provide even tension across all four strings. Careful manufacturing tolerances support accurate intonation up the neck, helping chords lock in tune and making it easier to play with others or along to recorded tracks.

Quick settling, stable tuning

The strings stretch in promptly after fitting and hold pitch well, reducing retuning during practice and performance. That stability is especially helpful for lessons and rehearsals, keeping focus on music making rather than constant adjustment.

Smooth feel for easy playability

The supple, low friction surface feels comfortable under the fingers, aiding clean fretting and relaxed strumming. Players moving up from basic student sets will notice fewer squeaks, easier slides and a generally more confident response across the instrument.
