Timple Strings

It seems like wherever people have gathered together over the centuries, they've developed a stringed instrument to strum or pluck. So it is with the timple, which has origins in the Canary Islands, located off the northwest coast of Africa.

The timple is a five-stringed fretted intrument that's plucked. Its sound is similar to a ukulele, and some players use only four strings and play it as a four-string ukulele.

We offer timple strings from famed manufacturers like La Bella and Savarez. If we don't have your favorite strings, you can get them fast with a Special Order. In most cases, we’ll add the strings to our regular stock to make your next order even easier.
