I don't know why it couldn't be, but this instrument sounds more like a guitar than a mandolin. That may not be the sound you want.

You could tune to any instrument type but you would most likely need to change the strings to get the best tone. I would change the fourth string first.

There is a ukulele setting. It does not specify what type of ukulele. Sorry

The tuner is chromatic, which means it tunes all notes including sharps and flats, and it is a clip-on that responds to vibrations in the instrument. Any instrument you can clip it to, it will tune. Very low frequencies as in a bass guitar will not register as well, but banjo, ukellele, violin, etc. will tune fine. Even horns and woodwinds should work.

It will tune to whatever the nearest note is- no issues with only detecting EADGBe. If you want to detune your 6th string to a D for instance, just detune it until the tuner picks up the tone as a D. My band plays tuned down a half step and it's very simple- great tuner.

It is best to ask the manufacturer this question because this is an inexpensive tuner.I can tell you along with the plug in tuner, it has a pitch pipe which sounds each note to tune any six string guitar,so I would assume this particular tuner was not set up for more than a six stringer.This is only my assumption,but I could be wrong,that's why I think you should contact the manufacturer and ask them that question for a definite answer.Mario

Regular Uke tuning from top to bottom is GCEA.On the Gretsch 6 string from top to bottom is ADGCEA.Everything is the same but the extra two top strings. No capo is needed to play with a standard Uke tuning.If you play guitar it would be like capoing the 5th fret on the guitar but on the Gretsch 6 string it all 6 open to achieve same.

That guitar will tune fine if you do it correctly. However they don't stay in tune as long as a full size guitar. I'm guessing its an electric guitar. Take the plug, plug it into the guitar jack and the jack on the tuner. The cord to do this should come with the guitar. I'm going to tell you how to tune it in Standard EADGbE tuning. Pluck the first string (the thickest string) and you will get a sound. Slightly turn the tuning pegs no more than a 1/4 turn around as you pluck the guitar string, keep turning the tuning pegs slowly (again, as you pluck that string) until the tuner says E (this tuner will say 6E). After that go one string down, each gets progressively thinner, then keep plucking and turning the tuning pegs until it says A (tuner will say 5A). Keep doing that, turning the peg to tighten the correspomding string for the next 4 strings, going to the smaller string each time for D, G, B and E (E is what the thinnest string will be tuned to.) Again, thickest string to thinnest (top to bottom) you will want E-A-D-G-B-E. Use the little green light in the middle as youre tuing so you know you're on key and getting exactly the sound you want. Some guitars only do it so well, so don't be bothered if you can't get it 100% correctly and just do it the best you can. M

Yes, it should work on any stringed instrument, including a piano. However, tuning a piano is difficult, and best left to a professional tuner. But tuning a guitar or ukulele is quite easy.

Strings are attached and it comes with extra, but you may need to adjust them, but that is what the tuner is for...you make slight adjustments until the tuner says it is on the right note.

You could, but this guitar is not intended for that purpose. The tuners are made for the smaller diameter steel strings, and the bridge does not have a tie block that is required. Also, the string spacing is too narrow. Find a good purpose-built nylon string guitar, such as the Yamaha NTX700 instead.

Very easy. Think padded snack bag clip. it opens like an upholstered clothespin (but much classier) and clips to the top of your ukelele.The head swivels so you can look at it directly while tuning. You power it on to tune, then turn it off to save the battery. It also comes with directions for use!

Yes. Can be tuned to standard guitar. Has a little more "play" in the strings, but works fine. That is how I choose to tune and use it as my travel and learning guitar.

I bought the ukulele for my daughter. She says the more you play it and get the strings stretched, the less you have to tune it. She said it took a couple of weeks and she plays it every day.

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

Might. I don't have a uke. The U-shaped piece which holds the instrument at the head stock can be pinched together (bent) to make it smaller in case the uke's neck and headstock are smaller than a normal guitar or bass.

As far as I know, it will work for a guitar - I believe the strings for a uke are tuned to the same pitch as the strings of a guitar. It's just there are only 4 strings on a uke and more on a guitar.

I dont think so. You need something that doesn't clip on the string. Just get those regular tuner that "listens" to the sound of the string.
