This is how your Ukulele strings should be tuned.

There are several different tunings for a Uke. Below we have listed two of the most common. One of them is the so called Hawaii tuning. Starting from the string at the top it goes G4 C4 E4 and A4. If you are going for the Standard D6 tuning also called Soprano the strings should be tuned as follows: A4 D4 F#4 and B4.

Now – press play and tune your Ukulele to the sound of a Oboe – an instrument often used by large orchestras for an accurate result.
