When you first get a ukulele do have to tune it?

Yes, ukuleles, like most stringed instruments, need to be tuned before playing to ensure the strings are at the correct pitch and produce accurate sounds. When you buy a new ukulele, it's likely that the strings will need to be tuned before you can play it properly. Tuning involves adjusting the tension of the strings until they reach specific pitches. You can tune a ukulele using a tuner, a reference pitch, or your ear if you have a good sense of pitch.
