Tuning a violin.
How to tune a violin (G D A E, in fifths) with your microphone, one string at a time, and what the page means by sharp, flat and cents.

A violin out of tune by a few cents already sounds wrong in a chord.
The strings.
Standard tuning is G D A E, in fifths. Tune the A first, as orchestras do, then the others to it.
Which way to turn.
Play one string; the page says how many cents sharp (loosen) or flat (tighten), and In tune within 5 cents.
Hear it first.
Press a string's note to hear it played, then match it.
