What if the letter shown on the tuner does not correspond to
the letter of the string?
First, adjust the strings to the state of not loosening or tightening, and
then follow the cyclic order of the letters G A B C D E F G to adjust the
strings, for example, the 4th string is G, the tuner shows F, F is on the
left side of the G, so it is lower than the G, you need to tighten it a little
bit in order to reach the high pitch of the G; the tuner shows A, A is on
the right side of the G, so it is higher than the G, and you need to loosen
the strings in order to go back to the high pitch of the G, and adjust the
others as well. Follow this method to adjust.
When the
pitch is lower
than the stan-
dard, tighten
the tuning
peg.
NOTES:
When the
pitch is higher
than the stan
dard, loosen
the tuning
peg.
1. Be careful not to mix up the four strings! After holding the
ukulele, the string closest to your heart is the 4th string.
2. When you receive the tuner, remember to install the battery (if
a CR2032 button cell is required, make sure the shiny side of the
battery is facing up).
3. Why does the new ukulele go out of tune after tuning?
A newly bought ukulele tends to go out of tune due to the initial
stretching of new strings and the ukulele "settling in." This is
normal and is not a defect in the product. It is recommended that
you play and tune your new ukulele more often within the first
week or two of receiving it, after which it will usually stabilise.
