The D string should be tuned to a perfect fifth above the A string, so adjust the tuning peg until the two notes sound the same. Play the harmonic at the fifth fret of the D string and compare it to the sound of the open A string. Once the A string is tuned, use it as a reference to tune the D string. Remember to keep a steady hand, and don’t turn the peg too much or too little, otherwise, you’ll end up tuning your violin to a different instrument entirely. Keep tuning until the harmonic sounds the same as the open string. If it sounds flat, turn the peg clockwise to raise the pitch. If the harmonic sounds sharp, turn the tuning peg counterclockwise to lower the pitch.
To tune the A string, play the harmonic at the fifth fret of the A string and compare it to the sound of the open A string. The A string is the foundation of the violin’s tuning system, so it’s important to get it right.
#G STRING TUNER VIOLIN HOW TO#
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to tune your violin using the June Technique: Step 1: Tune the A string
They allow you to play a note at a frequency that’s exactly twice the frequency of the open string, and they’re the secret ingredient that makes the June Technique so effective. Harmonics, on the other hand, are like magic. The perfect fifth is the interval between the first and fifth notes in a major scale, and it’s considered to be one of the most consonant intervals in music (apparently, someone did a survey). The June Technique involves using perfect fifths and harmonics to tune your violin strings. With this technique, you’ll be able to tune your violin like a pro, even in the darkest of tuning-emergency situations. Fear not, dear violinists, for I present to you the “June Technique” named after its creator, the brilliant June Scobee Rodgers. But let’s face it, sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we’ve forgotten our trusty electronic tuner at home, or worse, it runs out of batteries at the most inopportune time. As a violinist, you know that having a well-tuned instrument is essential for a great performance.
