displayed note name (i.e.,

instrument’s strings.
MEMO
• If you’re tuning a guitar that has a vibrato tailpiece,
tuning one string may cause other strings to drift out of
tune.
If so, start by tuning each string to the approximate
pitch, and then continue tuning each string in turn until
they are all at the correct pitch.
