To tune a ukulele using a piano, you can match the pitch of each ukulele string to the corresponding notes on the piano. The standard tuning for a ukulele is G-C-E-A. Start by tuning the G string to the G note on the piano, then tune the C string to the C note, the E string to the E note, and the A string to the A note. Use a tuner or an app to help you get the strings in tune.
The 8 stringed ukulele is also known as a taropatch.
The standard tuning for a ukulele is G-C-E-A, from the top string to the bottom string. This means the pitches are G (the 4th string), C (the 3rd string), E (the 2nd string), and A (the 1st string). The ukulele typically plays in the soprano range, making it a bright and cheerful instrument. Variations in tuning can occur, but G-C-E-A is the most common.
If it is long enough you can re-string the instrument with it.
