I'm sure you can all remember the shrill or the beautiful notes from the recorder and the screeches of waxed horsetail on those violin strings, lest we never forget. Were those the only instruments that we could learn in school? I remember my times in the recorder orchestra being accompanied by a couple of Violins - I was so proud at the time - I only recently discovered how "interesting" it sounded when I was dragged by my sister to my nephews first concert. I'm so glad I took the ear plugs.

Two months later I had my final payment and I brought the shiny instrument home only to realize that electric guitars need amplifiers. My dad laughed and said let's go see what we can do in my shop.

In addition to using an electronic tuner, you can also have the instrument tuned by someone who is teaching you how to play the instrument. If you received a new ukulele either as a gift or purchased the instrument because you want to learn, you will most likely want to take lessons.

If you decide to seek a teacher, he or she will most likely be able to tune the instrument for you and may be able to teach you how to do this.
Buy yourself a good uke. Do some studies first, find a Ukulele that you really like, that has good tone and analyze its neck and the height of the strings.

The standard tuning for soprano, concert Check it out and tenor Ukulele for sale is C tuning which means the four strings will be associated with the pitch of G C E A. The 4th string is G, 3rd string is C, the 2nd string is E, the 1st string is A. That is when you strike the open string it sounds those notes. The G is tuned to the G above middle C on the piano, an octave higher than you might think. The baritone ukulele is tuned to D G B E with the sound going from low to high.
You can use your first finger for all the notes but a more professional approach is to play the notes on the first fret with your first finger, the notes on the second fret with your long finger and the notes on your third fret with your ring finger.
We haven't used the fourth string in this melody but you can listen to the two notes 3/2 and 0/4. These two notes should have the same pitch if you have tuned the ukulele correctly.
