What is instrument transposition?

316 viewsOther

I don’t quite get it from reading it on wikipedia. You make one note mean another note? Why?

I just got a lute and downloaded some tuners, and some ask for instrument transposition and I don’t know what I should put.

First thing you need to do is find out what notes you are going to tune your lute to. From a quick search it seems there are quite a few different tunings based on what time period. Then you need to find a tuner that will let you play every note and tell you if it’s in tune of not, and match each string to the tuning you are after. Don’t worry about the transpose.
