Making sure your instrument is well tuned is important for musicians of every level. For musicians of all levels, tuning helps engage the ear with the specific sound and frequency of the intended note. Tuning is the process of adjusting the pitch of one or many tones from musical instruments until they form a desired arrangement. So when you are tuning, you are trying to match the frequency, or vibration, of one note to another. That's where a handy electronic tuner can be a musicians best friend, making this process quick and precise. Instead of using the strings to find the correct tones for other strings, an electric tuner will read and interpret the sound waves it picks up from your instrument and display in notes what it reads.
