A quick guide for when you practice
Tuning Your Instrument
If your string falls out of tune severely, contact Sistema Kingston and we can help with a socially-distanced instrument checkup by our string teachers.
If you feel confident using your fine tuners, you can download a tuning app on your phone or tablet to show you the correct pitch and tell you if you are too low or high.
