How to tune a ukulele online
Standard ukulele tuning is G C E A, often sung as My Dog Has Fleas. On most ukuleles the G is tuned high (re-entrant), so it sits between the E and the A.
G string (4th, nearest your chin)
Pluck it and tune to G4 - the high G of standard re-entrant tuning.
C string
The 3rd string is the lowest note, C4 (middle C).
E string
The 2nd string is E4.
A string
The string nearest the floor is A4 - 440 Hz.
Check again
Nylon strings stretch a lot; go round once more and again after a few minutes of playing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the ukulele string notes?
G4, C4, E4, A4 - from the string nearest your chin to the one nearest the floor. It's the same for soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles.
Why is my ukulele going out of tune so fast?
Nylon and fluorocarbon strings stretch a lot when they're new. Keep retuning - after a week or so they stay put.
How do I tune a low-G or baritone ukulele?
Switch to Chromatic. Low-G tuning uses G3 on the 4th string; a baritone is tuned D3 G3 B3 E4.
Do I need an app?
No - this tuner runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to install.
What's A4 = 440?
The reference pitch the whole scale is built from. 440 Hz is the modern standard; some orchestras use 442, and some people prefer 432. Change it if your band or recording uses a different reference.
