Question 1

How do I tune my ukulele with this page?

Accepted Answer

Pick the tuning, press Start and play one string at a time. The big note is what the microphone hears, the needle shows how far you are from it, and the highlighted chip is the string you are closest to. Turn the peg until the needle sits in the green. No microphone? Tap a chip to hear the reference note and match it by ear.

Question 2

Which ukulele tuning should I use?

Accepted Answer

Soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles use G C E A, with the G string tuned high — above the C — for the classic re-entrant sound. Low G puts that string an octave down for a wider range. Baritone ukuleles use D G B E, the same as the top four strings of a guitar.

Question 3

How accurate is the ukulele tuner?

Accepted Answer

Within a couple of cents on a clean, ringing note, which is finer than most ears. Let each string ring on its own, mute the others, and tune somewhere quiet — background noise and heavy room reverb are what widen the reading.

Question 4

Is my audio uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. The microphone is read in your browser and the audio never leaves your device. Nothing is recorded or stored.
