 Tuning Your Ukulele
There are 4 different notes on the pitch pipe (G, C, E, and A), each giving the correct pitch of one of the ukulele strings. Beginning with the first string on the ukulele, the 'G' string, turn the tuning peg to tighten or loosen the string while softly blowing on the 'G' note until the two pitches sound the same. Repeat this procedure with each of the strings on the instrument, matching each string to it's corresponding note on the pitch pipe. Although tuning may seem difficult at first, you can get the hang of it by practicing until it comes almost naturally.

SETUP AND ADJUSTMENT MADE EASY
Weather, speciflcally temperature and humidity, may have a dramatic impact on the way your instrument plays. All instrument woods expand and contract with seasonal Auctuations in temperature and humidity, and naturally, string height and playing action are affected. Depending on the climate where you live, your instrument may need routine adjustments a few times a year. Fender®/Squier®/Olympia™ instruments have several points of adjustment which are there to control the effects of these environmental changes, and more impor tantly, these features allow you to tailor the action of the instrument to your own personal playing style.
