Tune your ukulele straight from your browser with the microphone, free and with nothing to install. Standard tuning on soprano and concert ukulele is G-C-E-A, and it is reentrant: the fourth string is not the lowest but sounds above the third. That is what gives the ukulele its characteristic sound. If you prefer linear low-G tuning, pick it in the selector.
How to use it
Choose the tuning, allow microphone access and play an open string. The ukulele’s nylon strings stretch a fair amount, so if they are new they will drift out of tune several times before settling. That is not a fault with the instrument.
