6. Play the instrument and tune it.
The pitch name closest to the string appears above the meters. Tune the
string roughly until the sound name that you want appears. Then, fine
tune the string until the rectangle at the middle of the meter darkens,
showing that the string is in tune. If the pitch is too low, a bar extends
to the left of the middle and if it is too high it extends to the right. The
longer the bar is the more out of tune the string is.
The rectangle at the middle of the meter darkens when the string is in
tune.
