Another way of tuning is using an electronic tuner (some are especially made for ukulele, but you can use a guitar tuner), which will help us get a fast and accurate tuning. In order to tune your instrument properly, you need to know that you will need an “external source” such as another instrument (a piano, a guitar…), a tuning fork, a pitch pipe… anyway, a device that produces an actual note, which will serve as our base to tune in. When you get to play with someone else, he/she will be glad your instrument is properly tuned.An excessive tension may cause the strings to break, or worse (bridges out, or less usual, cambered neck) A low tension can lead to issues of strings screeching on the frets. The instrument and the strings are designed to operate under a certain tension.You ear will get used to the sound of some chords, and to how there are related to one another.Actually, it’s important to know when it’s out of tune, especially because: In case you are new to ukuleles, or if the ukulele is your first instrument (if you already played an instrument, you’ll probably already know this… or not!) you ought to know that it is very important to tune your instrument before playing. If you are reading this you are probably new to the world of Ukulele.
