when you are tensioning a wheel using the musical pitch method, how do you know what octave the pitch is in?

i am using the pitch recommended on this website:

http://www.bikexprt.com/bicycle/tension.htm

for my spokes, i need a "G". but don't know which "G" to tune the spokes to. all i know is the spokes are really loose and i can flex them really easily. should i just tension them until i hit the next G, then if they still "feel" loose, tighen the next octave higher?
