#BASS TUNING ONLINE PROFESSIONAL#
Some professional bassists use a “C extension” which extends the range of the lowest string’s pitch E1, down to the pitch C1.Consult your teacher to see if they have a different preference in using harmonics to tune (some bassists prefer using harmonics that divide the string in one-fourth or one-third). The resulting pitches will sound one octave above the open strings. To tune using natural harmonics, touch each string lightly at the middle point of your string that divides your string in half (halfway between the nut and the bridge), and pull your bow across each string. Some bassists find it helpful to use harmonics when they tune.If the pitch of the open string sounds higher than the correct pitch, gently turn the tuning key (machine peg) to the left. If the pitch of the open string sounds lower than the correct pitch, gently turn the tuning key (machine peg) to the right until it reaches the correct pitch. Although early basses used wooden pegs like other stringed instruments, most basses today use machine pegs with a geared tuning mechanism to adjust the strings (called tuning machines).Although the notated notes above are typically used to tune the bass, the actual pitch of the bass open strings will sound like the following notes: E1, A1, D2 and G2 The bass is a transposing instrument, meaning the note played sounds an octave below the notated pitch.More tuning assistance: Violin Tuning, Viola Tuning, Cello Tuning
