dd been learning at school for over a year - has not been taught how to tune it and in fact has been told she will not be taught until she's older as it's "too complicated"! She's 10. I checked on Google and it doesn't look that difficult - although I suppose the issue may be risk of snapping strings (it's a council supplied instrument). What about others? At present the blinking thing is desparately out of tune - teacher tuned it on Tuesday but I think the tuning peg slipped between school and home adn teh A string is awful - but dd is terrified she will get into trouble if we touch it. "Jingle Bells" with a well flat "A" string is torture!
