Tuning the Dulcijo
One of the most important (and sometimes the most
difficult) things to do in playing any stringed instrument is getting
it in tune. If it is not in tune it won’t really sound right. For
various reasons stringed instruments constantly go out of tune, so you
should always tune up before playing. Learning how the strings should
sound takes a lot of practice, but don’t let that discourage you.
Electronic
tuners can now be purchased very reasonably and should be considered an
essential investment for the Dulcijo or any other stringed instrument.
Any chromatic tuner should do the job nicely. I personally use the Korg
CA-30 and it works great with any stringed instrument. You can find a
chromatic tuner at your local music store or buy one through the link
on this page.
If
you don’t have an electronic tuner you can tune your Dulcijo by
matching the pitch on the MIDI files below for each string. Be sure to
listen to the MIDI first so you can hear the correct sound. Then tune
the string.
