Velvet Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yesterday I was teaching a kid, about 12 or 13 and quite smart. We were tuning one of her strings. We determined that the string was too low, and found the correct tuning peg to turn. Then she asked me, "Which way do I turn it so the note will get higher?" Always one to encourage young players to experiment with their instrument, I asked her, "If you were at home and were left to figure it out on your own, what would you do?""I'd look it up on the internet," she said.

nibbler Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Sometimes you just need a tuner....especially for a reference point when everyone else claims their IN TUNE, but they're way off. Sometimes you just have to prove your ear with an electronic ear.Indeed. See the Ten Jammandments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
