What is the main idea of this paragraph? “Musicians use tuning forks to tune their instruments. A guitar player can play a note on her guitar. Then, she can compare that note with the note made by a tuning fork. If the note from the guitar sounds too high, she can loosen the string. If the note sounds too low, she can tighten the string. Then, she can try it again.”
