Ukulele tuner

Standard tuning: G C E A, with the G tuned high.

With the microphone

Not listening

Tap Listen, then play one string at a time.

It only listens while it's on. Nothing is recorded or sent: the sound stays on this device.

By ear

Tap a string to hear the note it should be, then turn the peg until yours sounds the same.

Good to know

  • Tune up to the note. If a string is sharp, loosen it past the note, then bring it back up: it stays in tune longer.
  • Pluck one string and let it ring. Strumming them all at once leaves the tuner no single note to follow.
  • The G string is tuned high, just under the A, not below the C. That is what gives the ukulele its bright, close sound.
