Note names

Tuning

Play an open string and tune until the needle sits in the middle.

Made for low notes

The tuner listens down to 25 Hz, so the low B of a 5-string reads steadily. Pluck firmly and let the string ring.

Questions

What are the notes of a 4-string bass?

E1, A1, D2 and G2, an octave below the four lowest guitar strings.

Why does the low B jump around?

Very low notes need a moment. Pluck once, let it ring and wait a second.
