| Post subject: | Tuning stick when you can’t read music |
I am a newbie to stick, but I play several stringed instruments, by ear. I am in a quandary of what to use as a basis to tune my stick. 1. It would be helpful to know what specific piano keys relate to each of the 10 strings on stick. I have seen the generic piano range graphic, but it just shows the range, not specific notes (keys). 2. On guitar, I use a tuning fork to tune string 1, then fret positions to tune the others. Is there a similar method to tune stick once one string is on-key? Help with both of these items will give me a good start. |

There are audio files you can use for reference at the bottom of this page: https://stick.com/instruments/tech/ It tells you which frets to play each string on to get the note in the audio file. Which tuning do you have? |

There are several different tunings for the Stick. Here's the classic tuning for a 10 string instrument. https://stick.com/instruments/tunings/10/classic/ https://stick.com/instruments/tunings/ Golde66 wrote: I am a newbie to stick, but I play several stringed instruments, by ear.

Greg, The mp-3 tuning files were exactly what I needed. Thanks! I have been enjoying your YouTube videos as guidance for technique; and, listening pleasure. Very helpful! |
