3 Tricks to tune your ukulele and keep it in tune
If you've never seen these tricks, I bet you wonder if its even possible to keep your uke in tune, or you may wonder how well they are capable of holding a tuning.
Nylon strings do slip - especially when the're new - and it takes a little bit to get the to hold a solid tuning.
Also, some of the tuning keys you'll find on a ukulele require a little attention to stay put!
If you're dealing with some of these challenges this video will help...

It is possible you may be able to get by without a tuner. You could tune to a piano, another instrument, or you cold tune to your ukulele to a tone that you find online.
Here's the problem with that: Most beginners have trouble matching up the note on the ukulele to the note that they hear, this means they may have trouble tuning to other instruments or to a pitch pipe tuner.
Every time you pick the instrument up you should tune it. You'll get a lot more out of playing with a properly tuned instrument. An instrument that is not properly tuned can cause you to get discouraged or to quit playing all together.
Let's make sure you're always in tune, you don't need an expensive tuner all you need is a basic clip on tuner. The best little tuner for the money is the Snark SN5X Clip-On Tuner for Guitar, Bass & Violin (Current Model)
.
It is best to get a clip on tuner because it can be used with background noise, some tuners will pick up background noise making it impossible to tune you instrument unless it's completely quiet!
Clip on tuners work using the vibrations of the instrument and can be kept on the headstock.

The tuner below is one of my favorites (good brand and reliable too) because it clips right on to the ukulele and can be used with some background nose.
