A piccolo guitar is a miniature steel-string guitar tuned up a fourth from A to A as if you were to capo the standard guitar on the fifth fret. The word “piccolo” is Italian for “little.” Thus, this term describes smaller versions of regular-size instruments.
Also know, can you tune a piccolo guitar to standard tuning?
The answer is yes, you can absolutely tune a piccolo guitar to standard guitar tuning: EADGBe. However, note that it’s a non-standard tuning for the piccolo guitar.
Keeping this in consideration, how do I tune a Guitalele? A guitalele is tuned to ADGCEa in the same intervals as a guitar but up a fourth as if you were to capo the guitar on the fifth fret. The top four strings of the guitalele are tuned the same as a ukulele, GCEA, except the ukulele’s G string is tuned up an octave, just two steps down from the high A string.
