Bernadette. I just watched this video. So very informative. I use a snark tuner and I always set it on vibration. Cell data coverage is spotty in northern Canada. Tomorrow, July 16, we drive to Dawson creek British Columbia. That is mile 0 for the Alaskan highway. I miss my ukulele community.
My problem is that it doesn't pick up any sound half the time no matter what it's set at. I set it to chromatic and it still doesn't show me the note 90% of the time. It takes an hour to even get into tuning it correctly because it just won't pick up the note.
Just got my first ukulele and it came with a tuner, but I had no idea how to get it work! Thanks so much for this video as it made using it much easier!
This is very helpful. 👌👌👌 I use the chromatic tuner from the beginning because that's where I learn to tune perfectly and by ear. Learning to know which note exactly from what I tuned is very useful. Great job Mrs Bernadette.👈👏👏👏👍👍👍💖💖💖 Edited: OMG your eyes. It's so beautiful. Your make-up is so subtle it's AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! I just got the Fender FlashTuner for my guitar, and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting the right notes, and was ready to take it back to the store. I inadvertently had it on a different setting besides C. The box did not come with instructions either. You made my day!
I’m a guitar player, but this is an excellent video for anyone who plays a stringed instrument and uses a clip on tuner. Awesome job here. I learned something.
Thanks for your work, I am just starting and your videos make me feel like I am actually capable of doing it, even if I am slow. Other TH-cam channels make me feel like ukeleles are hard for me. Again thanks
Omg this is amazing thank you. I don't play ukulele, I'm learning bass but I didn't understand why it wouldn't tune my highest string to F, but this explains it perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Ms. B. Just got a little clip on tuner a couple weeks ago. They are great. Have the phone app as well. Big difference. Now I can watch/play along with your tutorials on my phone and glance at the tuner on the headstock. All good points you mentioned. Everything you said I've done. Twisted the tuning knobs with no change in tone, oops wrong peg, haha. Violin setting, noticed the high pitch before the dreaded "pliiingk". And the chromatic setting, love it. Great for finding notes. Plus I've tuned my tenor to 432hz, so it's really simple to stay in tune with the chromatic setting. Glad you made this insightful nugget of knowledge. I've emailed the Flight company, just waiting on a reply. Be cool to have a different color for each day of the week:) Alas, my pocket book says no. My brain says get the elegant Black as it will coordinate with every day. My heart says, just make music, even if it's with a piece of string tied to a broom handle and a tin can. Happy travels as you sing your life's song, with all the happy people you meet, wherever you roam in Japan. 🙋
Hey!! 👋🏼 It’s always so nice to hear from you. I would have never made this video if I didn’t see my students making these mistakes over and over again. I thought this video idea would be too simple. Reading your response I see that all my students, even my TH-cam ones, make these mistakes 😃 and that tells me there is a point to this video. Let me know if the flight company gets back to you and let me know which colors you end up getting! Currently sitting in a train headed to Dazaifu :) will be updating the Instagram story
Bernadette Travels Musical🙋 Hey! Ms.B, Love a good train trip. Hopefully you're reading this over a bowl of deliciousness. As my belly gurgles, I hungrily await your Instagrams visual tasty treats. It's only been five months since I've pick up this first stringed instrument. So basically I'm in kindergarten, musical. It's so nice to have a teacher point out the little things. May be simple yet for us they are another small chunk of knowledge that helps build our musical foundation. Plus for those who already know a refresher course is always valuable. As you taught us about repeating the scales over and over. A video like this, is a positive, just in case any habits of the bad have quietly creep into our technique. Even Jose with his years of experience and skills probably has to do a review of the basics every now and then. Music is good medicine. All these seemingly simple videos may just be the prescription for what had been ailing someone's music. Sometimes all that's needed is this simple sweet, lemon tea video, to cure our musical hiccups. I most definitely will keep you in the loop in regards to my Flight update. ( sounds like I'm traveling, I guess musically I am:) I'm thinking they probably have miles of emails to read after your presentation on TH-cam. Well, clickity clack, best let you get back, to the trains soothing melodies. Say hi to a big plate of mmmm for me please. 🙋🍣🍜🍝🍲🍰☕💕
That was great video , When i got my uke and tuner , I set it to UkeC , then saw all these videos about chromatic tuners , thought I could really use one of those . two months later , I accident tuned my uke while y tuner was on C .. and yay ,I had a chromatic tuner .I wish I had this great video three months ago lol
I was trying to fix my tuner because it wouldn't tune my 3rd string (third... thinnest? G-string?) to f#, and half way through your video, no touching the tuner, you have fixed it. I can now tune a f#... I don't know how or why. Thank you magical guitar wizard lady, you have blessed me with the ability to play f#. (No, but seriously, thank you so much. I never knew I could switch between chromatic and guitar, I've literally never pressed the button aside from turning on and off the tuner, you were a ton of help. Whatever magic you did to make my guitar not sick as well, that is massively appreciated.)
I need to thank you so much. I'm a newbie to guitars so when this happened, I just changed the string but that didn't work so I thought maybe I changed it to the wrong string. It was also happening to my guitarlele. God, I was going crazy. Thank you!!
Hello I have a snark tuner like the one u had and I have had it for like 3 years but it doesn't work anymore like it won't respond to any sounds any clue what to do?
That's very good to know! I'm gonna have to get a clip-on tuner eventually if I ever make it out of my room with the ukulele 😄 You look very beautiful in this video 😊
Bernadette Teaches Music It seems there's none around ☹️ It's hard to improve perfection! But I think this hairstyle and makeup (and shirt colour) just really flatter you!
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!! I just got a new bass and my E string was having me set the saddle all the way to the back. I got a clip on tuner in kit and never used it. The bass setting wasn't working at all. Chromatic solved my problem. I thought I just wasted $1,200! You're my hero for the day.
Does the clip on tuner has to be next the string that is being tuned or just on the headstock? Just a beginner and popping a string so I had to look for help.🤬🤪🤪💀
Omg chromatic!!! I never knew what that was! I just figured it was some other instrument I wasn't thinking of!!! Thank you so much! I had mine in guitar! Time for c standard!!!
Helloooooo. Very interesting, I find tuners don't always work when I clip them into my tongue to see what note I'm humming. I think the tuner gets the note but I can't look down and see the display without going cross eyed ! :-)
It happened to me when I was a beginner but hopefully I realised what was the problem :)) (after two days but it’s ok. btw, any tips for playing the E chord?
Arghhhhh I'm such an idiot, I didn't even realize it had this feature. Now all is good, I almost threw a couple away thinking it was just cheap and crrap hahahaha. Hey thanks for this.
Bernadette Teaches Music . You are most welcome, both my tuners are now set to C. Check out my latest video which you suggested to me - WHAT'S IN MY GIG BAG plus l added a cheeky little song which l would never sing to you as l consider you much too nice. Ken XXX
Haha many thanks, this was driving me nuts, it wouldn't tune the c string and I had to tune it to the piano..it was just the mode had changed to guitar.. Well at least I know I can tune it by ear now
thank you Bernadette! I just was trying to tune up my DUC-100 again and the G string got torn (popped?).. now found this video, going to try that other tuner, I already saw that tuner on amazon (btw I recommend you including affiliate links to Canadian amazon as well ;) ). Question: when the string gets out of the bridge or whatever that base part is called, can you get it back there? (I am a newbie )) and when you say "use chromatic" which notes for Ukulele should I tune up for? G C E A ?
How about when the tuner picks up the harmonic 3rd, instead of the root? Have you ever had that happen on the Uke? Depending on where I clip the tuner on my bass, it will sometimes give me a 3rd instead of the root.
Bernadette, it's not thinking that you are playing your E string. You just tuned down your G string to a low E. The tuner is working properly. There are many octaves on the music scale of the E note. The thicker the string the slower the vibration and the thinner the string the faster the vibration. I am assuming your tuner works by picking up the vibration. That is why your tuner has different settings, like Bass, Guitar, etc., because each instrument has strings of certain thickness. So, that is why they came up with those various settings. These are optimum use settings for each instrument. But again, you are still more than welcome to use the tuner however you wish. Good luck on your videos. :-)

Hi
Chromatics are my favorite, too, because that way I can tune the Ukulele any way I want and my creativity has no limites.
Same! But for a different reason... sometimes I tune the ukuleles to a pleasant open chord so kids can strum away and sound good 😃
Thank you for your clear explanation of this. It immediately helped me understand how the tuner works, and was able to tune my guitar in no time.😘
Just got my first ukulele and it came with a tuner, but I had no idea how to get it work! Thanks so much for this video as it made using it much easier!

Oh my gosh this helped so much! I thought my tuner was broken, but turns out there were different settings haha. Thank you!!
It may have been super simple, but it was also super informative. I had no idea. Thanks
I’m a guitar player, but this is an excellent video for anyone who plays a stringed instrument and uses a clip on tuner. Awesome job here. I learned something.
Chromatic is also for tuning a uke with a low G string.
Thanks for your work, I am just starting and your videos make me feel like I am actually capable of doing it, even if I am slow. Other TH-cam channels make me feel like ukeleles are hard for me. Again thanks
I know it’s been 3 years and prob won’t see this but how you doing
Great video. So often things like how to use a tuner is assumed and it's nice to have it explained.
Yesssss
I didn’t realize how much the little things matter until I tried teaching my adult students how to use a clip-on tuner.
Omg this is amazing thank you. I don't play ukulele, I'm learning bass but I didn't understand why it wouldn't tune my highest string to F, but this explains it perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you!! This really helped me understand my tuner, I didn't know how to use it at first so thank you so incredibly much!!
This was a very interesting video. I defintely have learned something new, thank you!

Thanks I was sitting here trying to tune my guitar for an hour pissed off lol this worked a charm!
Just the information I was looking for. I could not make sense of the letters at the bottom of the screen on the tuner. Now I know. Many thanks
I have never used a clip-on tuner. I use either an app or got to a tuning website, hear the note and tune it by ear.
Nice video, nice topic. :)
This solved my issue in minutes! Thank you so much!
Thanks y’all for the information.
I love you and your videos! The really help to learn the uke, all the while making it fun!
Thank you so much! 😃I hope they're easy to understand and follow :)
Bernadette Teaches Music they certainly are! Love you!😊
😘😘😘
The super tight snark clip-on tuner is the best no fuss no muss get it done clip-on tuner that I have used.
Exactly the mistake I was doing, thanks for the video it helped me.
Thank you so much this one thing helped me so much
Thank you so much for helpful tips
This was so helpful, thank you!!
Hi Bernadette, just brought my first ukulele :) Thank for all your information on how to buy one. By the way are Puerto Rican :)
I had it in guitar and changed to chromatic now everything makes sense thanks so much
Omg thank you so so much! You helped me out so much. I’ll subscribe!
I really, really want one of these for Christmas.
Very much appreciated 👍🏽 Thanks..
Wow! Thank you. Had no idea!!
Hi Bernadette , thank you so much . I thought I was going insane , turns out I was on the wrong setting . Thank you again 😊 .
I need to thank you so much. I'm a newbie to guitars so when this happened, I just changed the string but that didn't work so I thought maybe I changed it to the wrong string. It was also happening to my guitarlele. God, I was going crazy. Thank you!!
Thank you, i was wondering why it wasn't showing C#,F#,B, and E, now i can tune my bass better ^^
Interesting video Mrs. B, I learned something new!!!
Wow! I didn’t even know what C stood for 😂😂🙈🙈 I just assumed it was another string instrument
thank you so much!! i was so confused lmao
Really helpful for a beginner like myself. Thank you!
Thank you, Karen! That is so sweet of you :)
So happy to have you here. How long have you been playing?
Hi Bernadette! I just started....playing about a month or so and enjoying it.
thank you so much you are a life saver
there was a plastic piece inside where the battery is supposed to be and after i put the battery its not turning on. what do i do?
Thanks this was really helpful
Fantastic, as I could not understand why my tuner would not recognise D.
Hello I have a snark tuner like the one u had and I have had it for like 3 years but it doesn't work anymore like it won't respond to any sounds any clue what to do?
That's very good to know! I'm gonna have to get a clip-on tuner eventually if I ever make it out of my room with the ukulele 😄
You look very beautiful in this video 😊
yes, you'll need to join the club soon 😉
Thank you! Trying to improve my youtube persona's looks :P
Bernadette Teaches Music It seems there's none around ☹️
It's hard to improve perfection! But I think this hairstyle and makeup (and shirt colour) just really flatter you!
I had bought, I think the Snark is better than the small one. The small is hard to turn it on.
Thank you!
Do I tune it by the string G4 C3 E2 A1 or all the same G4 C4 E4 A4
THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!! I just got a new bass and my E string was having me set the saddle all the way to the back. I got a clip on tuner in kit and never used it. The bass setting wasn't working at all. Chromatic solved my problem. I thought I just wasted $1,200! You're my hero for the day.
Wow
Your voice n smile r super sweet
Thanks for the help
Peace

Does the clip on tuner has to be next the string that is being tuned or just on the headstock? Just a beginner and popping a string so I had to look for help.🤬🤪🤪💀
Omg chromatic!!! I never knew what that was! I just figured it was some other instrument I wasn't thinking of!!! Thank you so much! I had mine in guitar! Time for c standard!!!
I have the same chromatic tuner but it isnt even moving the needle at all no matter if I tune up or down. Help?
I always use c because i noticed, that this works the way i want to. But i actually never knew why. Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
Ah! Very intuitive of you 😃
Now you know what it means!
thanks ma'am for making this video. It helped a lot...actually I was having trouble with my C string....
I have a snark tuner and it’s not picking up the chords I play what do I do?
Helloooooo. Very interesting, I find tuners don't always work when I clip them into my tongue to see what note I'm humming. I think the tuner gets the note but I can't look down and see the display without going cross eyed ! :-)
Thank you😁
Thank you, miss! Never knew this. Tuning a guitar with a floating bridge is hard enough as it is...
It happened to me when I was a beginner but hopefully I realised what was the problem :)) (after two days but it’s ok. btw, any tips for playing the E chord?
This is really helpful, thank youu
Hi Marie! 😃 How are you today?
Hi, I’m actually feeling great today! How are you and your beautiful cats?
Arghhhhh I'm such an idiot, I didn't even realize it had this feature. Now all is good, I almost threw a couple away thinking it was just cheap and crrap hahahaha. Hey thanks for this.
Glad you didn’t throw them away!!! 😊❤️
Thank you again ❤
Thank you!!
Hello, my tuner doesn’t pick the the G string. I’ve tried many times but it never picks up G it goes to the C string right away.
Glad you did this video. The mystery of setting C is now solved.
Mine does turn on and I've changed it to ukelele but when I pluck a string it doesn't say anything pls help!
you have just saved my life thank you
My pleasure 😇
I have to use the chromatic setting because I have a low G string. But it always tells me to tune my C string sharp.
thank u saved me, I was going nuts lol
Ty I have a snark and love it!
Right?! I love mine too 😊
Super simple maybe but l certainly learned something new. Ken XXX
Thank you so much, Ken! 😊
Bernadette Teaches Music . You are most welcome, both my tuners are now set to C. Check out my latest video which you suggested to me - WHAT'S IN MY GIG BAG plus l added a cheeky little song which l would never sing to you as l consider you much too nice. Ken XXX
Awesome teaching
I only have a on/off Burton. So what do i do?
Haha many thanks, this was driving me nuts, it wouldn't tune the c string and I had to tune it to the piano..it was just the mode had changed to guitar.. Well at least I know I can tune it by ear now
Hi ms B! This video is very helpful! Hope you have a good day! ❤
Hi hi!!! 😃 How are you?
Hope you have a good day too!
Bernadette Teaches Music Thank you ms. B! I'm doing fine and my uke also!

😘😘😘beautiful words. Thank you too!
Good advice for Ukulele Dimapur.
Thank you
Thank you, Ukulele Dimapur 😃
This was super helpful! i thought my tuner was broken haha
Thanks. Spent a few minutes picking my G string this morning but still didn’t feel right.
my tuner turns on but when i play the string the screen doesn’t change and doesn’t show what note i’m playing 😭 how do i fix this??
Great video, very helpful.
Hi Ken! 👋🏼
Thank you for being here all this time!
my favourite you tuber :)
How about when the tuner picks up the harmonic 3rd, instead of the root? Have you ever had that happen on the Uke? Depending on where I clip the tuner on my bass, it will sometimes give me a 3rd instead of the root.
Something similar happens to me and I wish I would have added that in this video!!!! Looks like I need to make part 2

What if it not picking NO SOUND?
Please make a tutorial of "RIVER FLOWS IN YOU"
I love your videos!
