TUNING THE UKULELE
The ukulele can be tuned into various keys but the most popular tuning is:
- The image on the right shows the strings in order.
- It is also worth remembering that the 1st string (A) is the bottom string and the 4th string (G) is the top
TIP: Unlike many string instruments, these strings are not tuned in order of pitch. The C will be a lower pitch than the G, but E will be a higher pitch than both G and C. If you get stuck, a good idea is to visit www. youtube.com and type’ Ukulele Tuning’ into the search bar for help with nitch differences
- There are a number of ways you can tune each string to the correct note. From using the G,C,E,A keys on a piano, to pitch pipes and a tuning fork we advise using an electronic tuner. These small devices pick up the sound when you pluck a string and tell you what note you are playing.
- Tightening the strings by tuning the relevant tuning peg will increase the pitch. For example, if you’re tuning the 4th string to G and the electronic tuner shows F on the display when you pluck the string, turn the tuning peg a small amount and then pluck the string again. Repeat these steps until the tuner display reads G. Once it does, that string is ready and it’s time to move on to the next one. See the image on the left for tuning ped information.
Don’t have a tuner? There are many helpful tuning videos available on YouTube. Visit www.youtube.com and search ‘Ukulele Tuning
