Common questions
Can I tune by plucking?
Yes. A clear plucked note is often easier for the microphone to identify.
What if the tuner shows a nearby string?
Check the selected target and play only that string.
Should I tune the A string first?
Many players establish A4 first, then tune the other strings relative to it; follow your teacher or ensemble reference.
