Most of us use Snark Tuners - they're easy to read and give you a digital range in color so you can adjust your strings and stay in tune.

  • Tune to GCEA (remember by "Good Cats Eat Apples"). When holding your ukulele, G string is closest to your nose, A string is closest to your toes.
  • Tune up before you practice, and before you come to a jam.
  • Strings stretch when you play, especially new strings.
  • Strings are affected by humidity and temperature.
  • Turn on your tuner, play only that string, do TINY little adjustments until you're in the zone.
