mic off
♭ −50+50 ♯
Turn on the mic to start.
- Pluck, don't strum
- One string at a time, a firm pick near the soundhole, then let it ring while you turn the peg.
- Come up to pitch
- If you’re flat, tune up into the note. If you’re sharp, go below and come back up. Strings hold better that way.
- Within five cents is in tune
- The string turns abalone. Chasing zero on an acoustic is a hobby, not a requirement.
- Hear the target
- Tap a peg to hear the reference pitch played on a string, not a beep.
