You can arrange to lend one at your first session.

TUNING YOUR UKULELE TUTORIAL
The most essential element of ukulele playing! Watch this tuning tutorial with Will Grove White from the Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain to help you get to grips with tuning up and how your ukulele should sound before you start each lesson. If you get a chance to go see the UOGB live, then we highly recommend it. If you have any further questions re-tuning please ask away in class or in the Facebook Group.
If you do not yet own a tuner, you can purchase them at UCL HQ for just £6, along with a range of ukulele straps, stands, picks and other accessories.
