Tuning to a piano is a little easier. Just start matching pitches and keep going

until you get them all.

Some players can start with a single note from a tuning fork or pitch pipe,

and just "hear" when the rest of the notes are correct.

starting with the "DO" and singing the notes in order. As your ear training pro-

gresses this may become a possibility for you.

One more option to consider is cross-tuning the instrument to itself. Explore

the possibilities that arise from the treble bridge placement, as discussed above:

when you tune the right-hand D you get an A on the left side. Use this A to tune

the A back on the right side, which in turn will give you an E on the left side. Use

this E to tune the E on the right side, and so on. It is possible to tune nearly the

entire instrument in this manner.

In conclusion, keep this thought in mind: if you can hear that it is out of tune,

you have the ability to learn to put it into tune!

Use a guitar pick to pluck the strings. It will make a crisp, loud sound, and al-

low you to isolate and tune one string at a time.

After tuning all, or part, of one side of the treble bridge, play the major scale(s)

over that bridge. If the scales don't play true on both sides, the string(s) may be held

up by friction where they pass over the bridge cap, preventing equalization of ten-

sion on both sides of the bridge.

bridge to break any friction, then re-tune the left side of the bridge ﬁ rst, checking

the right side after. Some players will tune ﬁ rst the side of the treble bridge that is

farthest away from the tuning pins.

already tuned on the other side.

string and bridge, and works with it. Learning to deal with string friction is just

a matter of experience and fooling around with your particular instrument. It

shouldn't present a problem, but you can expect to encounter it occasionally.

If these techniques don't cure an apparent imbalance between the right

and left sides of the treble bridge, it's possible that the bridge, which is not glued

down, may have been knocked slightly out of position. Correct positioning is

critical for accurate tuning. To test for this, try the tuning/equalization of tension

procedure on the very top string over the treble bridge. If the left side remains

sharp when the right side is in tune, tap the top end of the bridge lightly toward the

right, and try the tune-up and test procedure again. If the left side is ﬂ at when the

right side is in tune, tap the end of the bridge to the left. You won't need to move

it far to have an eﬀ ect—a very small fraction of an inch will make the diﬀ erence

between "in balance" and "out". Do the same testing and re-setting procedure for

the bottom-most string on the treble bridge, and your bridge should be back in

position.

It is very important that the bridge be perfectly straight. Be careful not to intro-

duce a bow in the bridge by moving only its top and bottom sections. Check for

straightness by laying a straight edge, such as a ruler, along the bridge. If you detect

a bow or curve after carrying out the steps above, you will have to tap the center of

the bridge in the appropriate direction to straighten it out. If you are unsure about

this procedure, see your dealer or call Dusty Strings for assistance.
