• The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The 1st
string is tuned to A, the 2nd string to D, the 3rd string
to G, and the 4th string to C.
Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust the pitch
of each string using the tuning pegs.
• Use the tension adjustment screw on the tuning machines to
adjust the amount of pressure required to turn the tuners.
* If the tuning machine turns with very slight pressure
→ Rotate the adjustment screw to the right (clockwise: A).
* If the tension is tight and the tuning machine is hard to turn
→ Rotate the adjustment screw to the left (counter-clock-
wise: B).
• Finally, use the adjuster to fine tune the strings.
