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
but 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 onto the next one.
