Tuning a Ukulele with a Piano

   Tuning your ukulele with a Piano or Keyboard is a simple task. It is pretty easy and good for beginners because your only playing open strings on the ukulele, so you can have a free hand to turn the knobs while the piano and the ukulele are resonating. It's also better because you can tune each individual string, instead of getting one reference string and tuning the rest of the strings to it.

Open Strings - Down below I will talk about playing Open Strings. To play an Open String means to play a string without fretting anything. So that's why it's called Open.

How to do it

Tuning your ukulele to a piano or keyboard

The picture above shows you each string on the uke, it's same note on the Piano or Keyboard. Just follow the picture for each individual string and tune the string until it matches the keyboard or piano. Just play each string open, you don't have to fret anything. Make sure you use the 'Middle C' on the picture as a reference point so you don't tune your ukulele an octave too low, or too high.


Congratulations on tuning your ukulele!

I restrung my uke because I thought it was strung by my brother. I strung it with largest string first and down the line to smallest. Now I don't know which string is which to start over. HELP
