How to tune the dulcimer? How to tune the dulcimer strings? Today I will share with you how to tune the dulcimer.

Before tuning, it is necessary to check whether the string numbers on each string are consistent, and each string should be evenly separated. Generally, the ball should be placed in the middle of the rolling plate. The tuning procedure is based on the fixed phonemic arrangement of the dulcimer, and cyclic tuning according to the interval relationship of fifths and octaves.

The specific method of tuning: First, use the tail of the piano bamboo with the left hand to pluck the strings up and down, and use the wrench to turn the pegs with the right hand to tune the pitch on one saddle to the same level. Turning left raises the note, turning right lowers it. When tuning steel strings, generally tune the tone on the left side of the bridge first, and then tune the tone on the right side of the bridge. When the interval relationship is inaccurate, you can use the method of moving the ball to make fine adjustments. The direction and force of rotation when tuning is also important. When the wrench is inserted into the peg, it needs to be stable and vertical. When rotating, the force should be even and slow, and the action should not be too fast or too violent, otherwise the peg will be loose, the strings will easily run, and the piano cannot be tuned. Therefore, the correct tuning method is an important guarantee of intonation.
