Please can I ask how often people change their strings. Apart from putting a low G on my concert ukulele the other strings have been on since I bought the ukulele a year ago.
I tend to change every six months on a well used ukulele. One good way to check how worn they are is to run your nail along the underneath side of the string. If you feel lots of divots it’s a good time to re-string.
I change strings every four to six months. I play daily, 2-3 hours. Learning and feeling comfortable changing strings is something you should not fear. Plenty of YouTube tutorials are available. You will find a certain brand of string might sound better or maybe feel better than another. Pretty much trail and error. I suggest putting a date on your string package and when you decide to change again you might want to put the same type on, or try another one. Hope this helps.😀
... it depends ... how often, how long and how intense you play. When the strings sound muffled or when you feel that the strings have "scars" where they touch the frets it's time to change.

I haven't changed mine in 3 years. I practice daily and they still sound great. I look forward to reading other's comments here.
