The Secret to Tuning a Harp Like a Pro (Even If You’re a Beginner)!

I've been tuning for 28 years, and can say I've definitely learnt a few tricks along the way! In this video I'll explain all the basics of how to tune a harp, how to read a tuner, and a few bonus tips and tricks. Addressing all the questions I've been asked over my years of teaching. I hope this is helpful to those just starting out or those wanting to learn a few new tricks!

As much as I rave about this tuner app, this video is not sponsored! I was introduced to Peterson Tuner's physical strobe tuner years ago when a student, and haven't used another tuner since (well, I have tried a few other tuners, just to test out how accurate they were compared to my Peterson, and they did not compare!).
