How do you tune a Ukulele?

NFH · 2007-12-23 18:27:00

I bought a very cheap ukulele today and want to know what is the most common tuning for it (E,A,D,G???) and can I tune it with a regular electronic guitar tuner, cheers.

If its one of those Mahalo Uke's then I'm gonna say with great difficulty.

I bought one for my bro a few years ago as a joke, its terrible. A good laugh though.

My Mahalo uke lasted me a good 2 years and travelled the world with me.. All you have to do is tighten up the machine heads and it'll be just fine.
