Today, Dave will show you how to use a tuner that will listen to you play and help you tune your violin.
Dave is using a free app that you can download on a phone or tablet. You just start up the app and play the strings of your instrument – the needle will show you how close you are to being right in tune.
Remember that turning your fine tuners clockwise raises the pitch, and turning them counter clockwise lowers the pitch.
