When installing, thread the strings through the appropriate holes on the bridge and the tuning pegs. Then, turn the tuning pegs slowly to bring the strings up to the right tension. For the best sound, play around with different picking techniques. As for maintenance, wipe the strings down with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt.

If you notice the strings losing their tone or becoming too worn out, it's time to replace them.
