Example: Bass string is showing G# on the tuner.
Do I tighten or loosen the peg to get to A?
Is there an A below and an A above the G, like on a piano?
Is there a ratio, such as a quarter turn jumps 2 notes?
I know. It's a lot of questions. (Blushing)

is the melody string doubled?
If so, tune both to A
Middle to A
Bass D
Hope this helps!

I have a four string dulcimer-so how would I tune it? If you can just tell me which notes to tune to, I'd appreciate it so much! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video! Purchased an old dulcimer (4 string) at a pawn shop in Madisonville, KY for Mom and she just loves it, she wants to try to learn how to play and I had no idea how to go about tuning it, THANKS AGAIN, TAKE CARE and BE GOOD!!!

@10achus tightening the peg will make the string sound a higher note. thinking of your notes in terms of a piano keyboard is a good method, instead of thinking in ratios, try to train your ear to match the note your string sounds with a reference note, (pitch pipe) or drop some cash on a tuner, im fond of the clip on variety of tuners, instead of a microphone they pick up the vibrations through the instrument and as such are unaffected in noisy rooms, hope this helps

thank you!

Tighten the string for and A.
Concerning the A's.... tune where you see the A on your tuner. that will be the A' above middle 'C' on the piano.
There are no ratios that I am aware of. I just keep turning the peg ( I have gear pegs on the one in the video) until I get tot eh desired pitch.. Hope this helps.

D,G,D seems to work for the Scottish songs I like to play :-)
I have a video of my playing on here in 2007 !!
Its just a cheap Romanian instrument though, but its an MD.
I like the subtitles

There are several different tunings for the dulcimer. use the one that seems to work for most of the songs you play.
Glad you like the subtitles!
