D'Addario EJ88C Nyltech Ukulele Bass Strings .094 .118 .165 .197

D’Addario EJ88C Nyltech strings are purpose-built for concert ukuleles, delivering a warm, traditional, gut-like tone with modern tuning stability and consistency. Optimised for standard GCEA tuning, this set gives your uke a smooth, comfortable feel and a clear, projecting voice that sits perfectly in any mix, from solo strumming to ensemble playing.

Each string in the EJ88C set is crafted from D’Addario’s exclusive Nyltech monofilament, developed to capture the character and response of natural gut while remaining durable and easy to maintain. Whether you are upgrading from stock strings or refreshing a well-loved instrument, these strings offer a quick, affordable way to enhance tone, intonation and overall playability.

Thanks to D’Addario’s advanced extrusion and laser-sorting processes, EJ88C strings provide reliable performance from pack to stage. Intonation is precise across the fretboard, chords ring true, and the balanced tension makes them suitable for a wide range of playing styles, from gentle fingerpicking to energetic strumming.

Warm, Traditional Nyltech Tone

Nyltech monofilament has been specially formulated to emulate the warmth and richness of classic gut strings, without the maintenance headaches. The result is a mellow yet articulate sound that flatters the natural voice of a concert ukulele, ideal for vintage-inspired Hawaiian styles, singer-songwriter accompaniment and relaxed home playing.

Optimised for Concert Ukuleles

EJ88C is designed specifically for concert-scale instruments tuned to standard GCEA. The gauges and tension are carefully matched to bring out the best in this body size, helping your uke speak clearly with improved projection, sustain and dynamic response.

Smooth Feel and Reliable Intonation

The custom-extruded Nyltech construction offers a comfortable, slightly textured feel under the fingers, making slides, vibrato and chord changes feel natural and controlled. D’Addario’s precise manufacturing and laser sorting ensure accurate diameters and consistent tension, so intonation stays solid up the neck.
