Viola Tuner Education: A Guide for Aspiring Violinists and Violas

As an aspiring violinist or violist, learning to tune your instrument is an essential part of your education. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide on how to use pegs and fine-tuners to get your viola in tune.

Using Pegs: Larger Pitch Differences

When it comes to tuning larger differences in pitch, you can use the pegs on your viola. To loosen or lower the pitch, turn the fine-tuner counter-clockwise. On the other hand, to tighten or raise the pitch, turn the fine tuner clock-wise.

Using Fine-Tuners: Smaller Pitch Differences

For smaller differences in pitch, it's best to use fine-tuners. If the pitch is too low (too flat), make it higher by tightening the string. Don't worry if your first attempts are a bit frustrating and imperfect - just keep trying! As with everything, the more you practice, the easier it will get.

A Guide for Beginners

For those who want to learn how to tune their viola using a chromatic tuner or by ear, we have provided additional resources in the form of PDFs, videos, and written guides. Remember, as an aspiring violinist or violalist, you will need to learn to tune your instrument for yourself, and the sooner the better.
