I'm tap tuning a tenor uke. Currently I have a slightly sharp G and I should have a G#. Does taking more material off raise the pitch or lower it?

How did you figure out your note? By ear? Can a guitar tuner help with this?

Yes, I used a guitar tuner. held the soundhole near the pickup of the tuner and tapped near the bridge location. Don't know if this is the correct procedure.
