Re: TUNER

Every note isn't going to be in tune, in fact low E can be off by 20 cents or more on some instruments. The only note that needs to be exactly at 0 is your tuning note.

Generally I like to tune to open G (no fingers down). Play this note and check the pitch. If it is sharp pull the barrel out, if it is flat push the barrel in. Next you want to go an octave up to the next G. If it is sharp then pull out the upper joint. This should get you as well in tune as possible. Again some notes will be off, but there is not a lot you can do about it unless you want to spend a lot of money.
