Hey...I just got my first Chromatic Tuner to tune my uke and I wondered what the Hz needs to be said at...right now I have it at 450 but I just hope it's right. Thanks for the help.

scientifictly it's 440. What I do, though, sometimes if you are playing with a recording that is slightly out of tune, or with someone else who can't retune, you change the hz to tune with them.

440 it's the number of vibrations the string makes per second.
