- Play just that string.
- Turn the peg slowly until the reading is centered.
Troubleshooting
- Select and play one string while muting the other three.
- If the G target seems an octave too high, check whether your instrument uses a low-G setup.

Common questions
Why is G higher than C?
Many ukuleles use reentrant tuning, where the fourth string is a high G.
Can I tune a low-G ukulele?
Use the chromatic tuner and aim for G3 on the fourth string.
Does this work for baritone ukulele?
Not with these presets. Baritone ukulele commonly uses D G B E, so use the Chromatic Tuner for those notes.
