Method of Tuning. Tune the 3rd string (see diagram page I) to middle "c" on the piano. Stop (press down) the 3rd string just back of the fourth fret and tune the 2nd string in unison (to the same pitch) Stop the 2nd string at the fifth fret and tune the 1st string in unison. Stop the 2nd string at the third fret and the the 4th string in unison. The native Hawaiians sometimes tune one tone higher (i.e. third string tuned to D on the piano, etc) to secure a more brilliant effect. Another way of tuning is by the notation, do, mi, sol, do. The 3rd string is "do" The 2nd string is "mi" The 4st string is "sol" The 1st string stopped at the third fret is the higher "do". pt type="text/javascript">pt> pt type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> pt> Previous Page << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 >> Next Page
