Tune Your Viola
This page contains Flash Files, which are not supported by all devices. Below is an alternative guide for tuning, and a recording of each open string.
Basic guidelines for tuning (if using recordings instead of using flash)
1) Click on the name of string
2) Play your string, and decide if it is lower (flat) or higher (sharp)
3) Turn the fine tuner: Lefty Loosey (if sharp), Righty Tighty (if flat)
4) If fine tuner will not turn any further, see your teacher (they need to adjust the pegs).
NOTE: Do not attempt to turn pegs yourself unless your teacher has taught you how to do this. It is very easy to break strings using the pegs
