Ive never played a stringed instrument, and I totally botched the tuning. I pulled it out of the box, grabbed the tuner, and tuned it to whatever letter popped up first. I knew it sounded off and now I know why! Thank you!
Thank you! I was so confused, I thought I had to change the key for every chord, but then I figured it out, so I use the c key... that's whi I now have a 2 chord ukulele, just C and E :-) waiting for my new aquila strings :-)
ty this helped me. i thought my tuner was broken when two strings were missing e and a. i got it tuned and my uke sounds great i had g# and a f. i needed e and a. now my ukulele sounds great! no one explainex the scales on the strings and how you can change the notes.
Thank you so much my uke sounds so much better now! I orignally just tuned it until it was green (not paying attention to the letters) and in the end I was really sad becuase my ukulele sounded like a guitar... But thanks to your tutorial it sounds amazing!
tug on them for a bit. you have to understand that when you first buy new strings for a uke they need stretching becuase its a less dense material so as you tighten ,the strings are adjusting and stretching by themselves
Don't take this wrong, but weather you're a right or left hand player the strings are the same in order from 'closest to the floor' to 'furthest from the floor'
Aaaaahhhh!!! Just bought my first ukulele and tuner- I tune a string until I get a centre green line- but then I strum it again and don't get a Centre green so I tune again until I get a Centre green - strum a few times and it goes out of tune :( why can't I get it to stay steady! !!
If new strings, it may take a couple of weeks retuning for it to stay in tune. If a cheap uke, you may need to retune every few songs. You definitely need to tune before you start playing, no matter how good the uke is. The better quality the uke, the more it will stay in tune. Also, need to make sure new strings are put on correctly. Also, you need to develop your ear so you don't always depend on a tuner. This way you can hear if your uke goes out of tune.
If you get a ukulele over fourty dollars it should stay in tune for anywhere from a week to a month ,if under thirty dollars it should be about a day. If it’s in between thirty and fourty , it’s kindve a toss up.
+WolverinesNation92 you're probably just in the wrong key. It's most likely tuned to an A, but in a higher or lower key than the rest of the strings. Try tuning to a lower or higher A note. this is pretty old though, so you prolly already fixed the problem.
Ye, you can the Snark SN-8 is a tuner for all instruments www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00646MZHK/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687742&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004Z17008&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=05ZM538A9K4F2EG9M5BE
Interesting. So do we call this fine instrument a yoo-keh-lay-lee or an ooh-keh-lay-lee or ooh-keh-leh-leh or ooh-keh-lay-lay? I've seen some debate here. It may depend on what part of the world you live in. In voice I often call it an ooh-keh-lay-lee but when I sing Ukelele Lady played by my friend Arlo Guthrie, I definitely pronounce it you-keh-lay-lee. What say you? Please keep it classy ukelele lovers!
thanks man. couldn't figure out why i was getting random letters instead of the ones i was supposed to get. my uke sounds awesome now!

Thanks so much! I'm starting from scratch and this was exactly what I was looking for !
Sorry for the late reply, hope you're still playing!
Thanks homie g funk
Why did I laugh at this comment.
Don't take this wrong, but weather you're a right or left hand player the strings are the same in order from 'closest to the floor' to 'furthest from the floor'
do you know how to tune the chords accordingly to a song now?
i am your 199 like!
What ukulele is that
Aaaaahhhh!!! Just bought my first ukulele and tuner- I tune a string until I get a centre green line- but then I strum it again and don't get a Centre green so I tune again until I get a Centre green - strum a few times and it goes out of tune :( why can't I get it to stay steady! !!
A new ukulele still has strong strings. Takes a little while for them to loosen. Happy strumming
If it’s new it takes time to stay in tune also you should make sure it’s good enough quality to stay in tune
Does anyone know how long it usually stays in tune before you have to tune it again?
If new strings, it may take a couple of weeks retuning for it to stay in tune. If a cheap uke, you may need to retune every few songs. You definitely need to tune before you start playing, no matter how good the uke is. The better quality the uke, the more it will stay in tune.

I dont particularly know but cold can affect the strings
r u saying oooo??
So I have everything in tune based on the tuner. But my A doesn't sound anything like its supposed to, but it says that it's tuned.
+WolverinesNation92 you're probably just in the wrong key. It's most likely tuned to an A, but in a higher or lower key than the rest of the strings. Try tuning to a lower or higher A note. this is pretty old though, so you prolly already fixed the problem.
Why does my a chord sound lower than it is supposed too?.
Can I use a sn-8 to tune my ukelele? PLEASE ANSWER BACK
Thank you!
