Methods of acoustic guitar tuning

The importance of tuning is not only reflected in the training of our musical sense, but also in maintaining the stability of the tension of the strings. The strings are metal products. As we all know, metals will expand and contract with heat. So when the ambient temperature changes, the pitch of the strings will often change together, which is caused by the expansion and contraction of the strings. When the temperature is hot, the strings expand and extend, the tension becomes low, and the sound becomes low.

The use of diecast tuning key

The die-cast tuning key is used on string instruments to adjust the pitch of strings. The die-casting tuning key has the advantages of stability and can maintain accuracy over time. This is because the keys are made from a single piece of metal that is cast in a mold, resulting in a solid, precise construction.

Another advantage is that they are generally more durable and less prone to wear than other types of tuning keys. This is especially important for musicians who often play musical instruments or travel with them.

Definition of guitar tuner

A guitar tuner is a tool used to correct guitar pitch or give a standard pitch. There are many types. In the process of historical development, it has also been gradually electronic. The guitar tuner is often an electronic tuner, which greatly simplifies the guitar tuning process.

Traditional tuning instrument of acoustic guitar

tuning fork

A tuning fork is a metal rod bent into a parallel fork shape, which is sounded by tapping the upper part of the fork shape. It was invented by the famous British trumpet player in 1711. The tuning fork pronunciation is mainly the fundamental frequency vibration, so the overtones are few and very pure. Modern tuning forks were improved by scientists in Paris in the middle of the 19th century. By the end of the 19th century, Chicago people in the United States made a set of six tuning forks with steel bars instead of tuning forks. The pitch of each tone was set at 435-440 Hz per second, and the frequency difference between each tone was 1 Hz, so as to facilitate the tuning of various standard pitches.

Reed

The most convenient and popular one is still popular today. It is a small metal or plastic tube with a reed inside and a sound name outside. There are one tube and multiple tubes. The standard tone of one tube is C, and each tube of multiple tubes has one tone; There is also one tube with two tones, one reed at each end.

Native guitar electronic calibrator

Modern instruments equipped with semiconductors and integrated circuits can produce the required pitch and also display the pitch of instrument pronunciation. This instrument is gradually being popularized.

In addition, for electric guitars, there is also a single type of tuner that is widely used.
