A tuner is a device musicians use to detect pitch accuracy. It will let a musician know if the note they are playing is sharp (too high), flat (too low), or if it is in tune. The accuracy of a pitch is what musicians call intonation. Tuners work by detecting the frequency of the pitch (sound waves). For example, an A is 440 Hz. If an A is sharp, it will be 441 Hz or higher. If it is flat, it will register as 439 Hz or lower. While tuners work by tracking hertz, musicians measure how close they are to the pitch in measurements of cents. Cents and hertz are not the same things.

In the last bullet above, we saw that a chord can sound out of tune even though every member of the chord is showing as in tune on a tuner. This is known as "just intonation." This table is just a guide and not hard rules. Always default to your ear and the ears of those around you. The most common way to discuss chords in a generic way is through numbers which represent the interval relationship to the root of the chord. As an example, the C Major chord has a root of C (it will always be in the name of the chord). The next member of this chord is a third above it, E, so we call it the third. The major third of the chord must be lowered 14 cents in order for it to sound in tune.
I have used gStrings and Pro Guitar Tuner. They both work fine. I am not crazy about either of them. If you have a computer and an address closer than 1-1/2 hours away maybe you can consider ordering an electronic tuner online. Learning to tune by ear will by far be your best investment though.
Just go online (Amazon) & type in digital tuner. The small clip on's are relatively enexspensive, unobtrusive & discreet. (Who wants a big ugly tuner hanging on their peg head, as if to advertise, "I can't tune without one of these things") Plenty accurate enough & easy to use. One button to turn on, same button to turn off. The note shows red if it's off too much, shows sharp or flat, when you get close it turns green. Shows two bars (one on each side) when you are spot on. It doesn't get any easier than that. Clip it to the back side of your peg head & it is practically invisible to anyone but you. I have one on each banjo (2) & guitar.
P.S. I'm noticing these mini tuners clamped on fiddles now days, upper bout, left side. You have to know what you're looking for to spot them. But even the pro's are using them now. And fiddle players are real sticklers about tuning.
Pano tuner all the way. I tested it with some high grade tuners and it's pretty darn accurate. It also registers those nasty bass notes that the clip on tuners muddy up, seems that anything under a bass C just comes up as a D note on my snark.
The clip on tuners are convenient and fine at when it's noisy, but I've tried dozens and most are not as accurate as the best apps or higher end tuners. Even the best of them are not very finely calibrated (usually 5 cents) and don't offer settings things like temperment, vibrato sensitivity, etc. I use them when appropriate, but most of the time use a better tuner.
While you can buy a physical guitar tuner with a needle at any music store, these apps can do they same job for free when you need to tune up your instrument. Both Pano Tuner and GuitarTuna are available for iOS and Android devices.
GuitarTuna packs a lot more advanced features, but even as a straightforward guitar tuner it outshines Pano Tuner thanks to its intuitive on-screen display which makes it easier to make fine adjustments. GuitarTuna also offers an impressive range of advanced paid content, both in terms of custom tuning options and activities to help you improve your playing.

There are tons of these out there. Which is the best multi-purpose tuner (not simply guitar but percussive sounds as well)? It would be great if I could just drop it in AUM as an AUv3 effect so I don't have to switch between apps, but if there isn't a great AUv3 tuner yet I'll manage.
I have been looking for the most simple tuner for myself (I play the Ukulele) and I am a kid so I needed something simple for me to understand with me only knowing the 4 chords G C E A. This app made it RIDICULOUSLY EASY!! Every week I tune my ukulele and I swear I have probably mentioned this app to my friends a lot. My dad first found this app and tunes his guitar. My friends are probably sick of me mentioning this app probably for the millionth time. I love that you can change the settings to solfege. I am also a singer and I love that I can check my pitch. Overall, This is the best tuning app I have ever used.
This is the ideal tuner app. Identifies any pitch extremely fast and accurately, even faster than my Snark tuner, and has a good, clear interface with a coarse and fine tuning scale that makes it easy to lock onto a note very precisely. It also allows you to adjust the base note from 440 Hz to other pitches for people who want custom tunings, and has many other bells and whistles as well, but keeps them from getting in your way unless you want them.Totally a five-star app, many thanks to the creator.
I just downloaded this app and it's perfect for what I wanted. There are a ton of apps that will work for standard tuning a guitar. I needed an app that would work for alternate tuning and I figured a piano tuner would be able to tune to any note there is to play. And it did. Naturally, you have to know the note you want to tune the string to. If you don't know what drop-D or drop-C each string needs, then you might need another app, but if you know what you want to tune each string to, this is perfect.
** There is nothing negative to say about this app - appPicker review, 06 Aug 2013Pano Tuner listens to the sound you make and shows you the pitch. You can tune your instrument accurately by looking at the offset from the pitch that you want to tune to.== Features ==* Quick and sensitive response Try this app now and see how quick and sensitive it is to your sound. * Wide range of pitch sensor This app is a chromatic tuner. It follows any pitch your instrument can make.
This handy little app is a chromatic tuner which enables you to tune your instrument to any pitch, making it ideal for guitarists, bassists, violinists, and players of any other string or brass instrument. It's also great for singers.
With this in mind, I see no sense in carrying around an actual physical tuner for your instrument if you own an iPhone because you can just keep this app handy and quickly dig it out whenever your instrument starts to sound a little off.

Cotton MatherFebruary 16, 2020, 11:51 AM There is no commercial tuner that will accurately read to the extremes, as far as I know. It wouldn't even be desirable, anyways; what the human ear will perceive as "in tune" at these pitch ranges will differ from what the tuner will say is "in tune".Use a drone instead.
Paul DeckFebruary 16, 2020, 12:15 PM My phone app even struggles with my viola C string. I don't know of a tuner that will provide any kind of helpful assistance in 3-octave scales.
Malcolm TurnerFebruary 16, 2020, 12:18 PM Tuning fork?
What else would you need?
Michael DarntonEdited: February 16, 2020, 1:42 PM I am curious how you have determined that the tuners are inaccurate?I hope you aren't checking against a keyboard instrument!
Erin SabriniEdited: February 16, 2020, 2:35 PM Hi Michael, (my go-to luthier)
No, not checking against my piano. Korg and Snark do not respond at all to very high or very low notes.
Andrew VictorFebruary 16, 2020, 4:00 PM How fast are you playing the scales? Most tuners I have encountered take some time to stabilize - maybe all of them.Intonation on a string instrument can be tricky. A pitch that is "in tune" in one key may not be "in tune" in different key.
J RayEdited: February 16, 2020, 4:30 PM "Korg and Snark do not respond at all to very high or very low notes."Are these contact tuners? Maybe the problem is with the point of contact not working very well. I just did a quick test with a cheap D'Addario NS Micro tuner, and it had no problem detecting and measuring the highest note I could play on my violin - with a practice mute on. And my tuner app agreed with the measurement. The tuner was attached to the body of the instrument close to the neck where it could be seen easily; I think it would have worked fine anywhere on the body; perhaps not on the peg box. I don't have a cello or bass, so couldn't check low notes. As we're not dealing with extreme ranges of frequencies, as the sounds are well within the humanly-audible range (and there are also overtones), I don't think that the devices have any solid excuse for not working, and if there is, it should be solvable with a better mic or contact perhaps."I don't have a smart phone, so can't use a tuner app."Well, that's easy to fix. You can get a cheap phone online, set it up with WiFi, not paying for the phone service, and use it to run apps. You could do this for the price of a GOOD tuning device, assuming that by that you mean you're willing to spend say $50-$100.
Mark BouquetFebruary 16, 2020, 4:31 PM Which Korg? Which Snark? Are they clip ons, or microphonic? I just don't know enough about your situation to make a recommendation. You might consider an inexpensive clip on pickup that clips onto your bridge (or elsewhere), and plugs into most free standing tuners. It might improve your frequency resolution at the extremes, and it will certainly cut out interference from extraneous environmental noise. All the tuner manufacturers make them, and they're interchangeable.

"I am curious how you have determined that the tuners are inaccurate?I hope you aren't checking against a keyboard instrument!"
____________There's the rub. There are many different intonation schemes.
Mark BouquetFebruary 16, 2020, 5:40 PM "There's the rub. There are many different intonation schemes."And that's why an app like the Peterson "iStrobosoft" is ultimately the best solution. You can choose the tuning scheme that's appropriate for your circumstances.But ultimately, nothing beats careful listening. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1445120547957-0'); );
Paul DeckFebruary 16, 2020, 5:45 PM Warning: 100 posts about scale temperament are on their way.Seriously the problem is likely contact. However, J said that (s)he tested his/her tuner with a practice mute on. Maybe that helps by limiting the intensity of some overtones that might be confusing your tuner. I agree with the suggestion about the smart phone. You don't have to get phone service. And once liberated from that requirement you can find lots of phones available very cheap. One thing, though -- if you are buying a used phone, you do want a phone that will do OS updates. I had a phone that didn't do updates (a low-end LG) and I had to dump it because I couldn't make it Blueborne-resistant. Also old phones can really be miserably slow.
Ivo BernabéFebruary 16, 2020, 5:45 PM Buy a tuning fork, learn to tune perfect fifths, profit!
J RayFebruary 16, 2020, 6:41 PM " (s)he tested his/her tuner with a practice mute on. Maybe that helps by limiting the intensity of some overtones that might be confusing your tuner."No, the practice mute doesn't help - I just recalled that it was on during the test when writing my note, and have confirmed that it works fine without the mute. I think the converse if more likely - that if it's muted the volumes are reduced further and if you have a tuner sensitivity problem, it'll be worse with a mute.
Michael DarntonFebruary 16, 2020, 9:01 PM I have several tuners, real and phone, and they all have a problem locking on. None has a contact mic, though. . . .maybe that's a good idea worth trying.
J RayEdited: February 16, 2020, 11:33 PM "I have several tuners, real and phone, and they all have a problem locking on."What do you mean by "problem locking on"? Do you expect to see a fixed frequency as you draw the bow? That would probably be inaccurate, as the pressure and hence pitch can change. Do you mean that you can't get a frequency reading at all? I don't recall every having that problem (except when the battery's dead).A contact mic is better at ignoring environmental sounds, but otherwise is not necessarily more accurate.OP: There are also desktop tuner apps. Here's one for example which is also available on Windows: -tuner/It also has a bunch of non-equal temperaments, allows you to enter your own, and even shows (and allows editing of) the values of the built-in ones.(I tried it briefly on Android before discovering that I could still download a previous one to a new device though it doesn't appear on the store anymore.)
Michael DarntonFebruary 17, 2020, 12:08 AM By locking on I mean slow to recognize and display pitch.
Steve JonesFebruary 17, 2020, 1:20 AM It's a 21st century malaise - all those clever gizmos that nobody "needs" and that we're actually better off without
Han N.Edited: February 17, 2020, 3:04 AM I have an old (2012, Android 4.1) permanently attached to my music stand. It runs Pano Tuner and Metronome Beats just fine. Pano Tuner responds fast and has no problems recognizing tones up to E7 (highest I tried), with or without a practice mute.Used phones that old cost next to nothing. You'll want a long micro-USB charging cable and a (bicycle) phone holder.These apps will run on Android version 4.1 (Metronome Beats) or even 2.3 (Pano Tuner).
J RayEdited: February 17, 2020, 8:21 AM Wow, Android 4.1! I have a Nexus One (Android 2.3) for a tuner (and clock) that I'm migrating away from. Definitely not recommended though. And given that it's only 10 years old, it's amazing how much phone technology has become obsolete and unusable over a short period of time - it was obsolete many years ago.The latest version of Android, or the one before it for value or supply, should be the minimum targets for a new phone for compatibility and longevity.A highly positive review: -nexus-one-2018-gives-obsolete-whole-new-meaning/
Mary Ellen GoreeEdited: February 17, 2020, 8:54 AM I advise my students NOT to practice scales with a tuner.Here's a little experiment which I have posted before--apologies for the repetition--play a first position "E" on the D string. Now play it together with your open A, and adjust until the E is perfectly in tune with the A. Got it? Now, without moving your finger, play that E with the open G. It will be painfully sharp to the G. Now adjust the E until it is in tune with the open G string. When you have it just right, play that E with the open A. It will be flat.So how does a tuner know which "E" is in tune? The answer is, it doesn't. It will give you a tempered tuning E (like a piano) which will be just a little bit out of tune no matter what. You must train your ear to learn where to place pitches in the proper context on the violin.Cotton's advice to practice with a drone instead of a tuner is more useful.
Mark BouquetFebruary 17, 2020, 10:31 AM Can anyone recommend a good drone app? I have one that's supposed to simulate a cello, but it sounds more like a synthesizer, and not very pleasant. Thanks!
Erin SabriniEdited: February 17, 2020, 2:16 PM Thanks everyone here for your help and suggestions. I will follow up on the D'Addario tuner, Peterson Istrobosoft, Airywire tuner, and Pano Tuner. Looks like having a smart phone might be the way to go...
Graeme WebsterFebruary 17, 2020, 5:32 PM Peterson StroboPlus HDThis is a tuner, not an app. And, you will pay for precision.But, again, the intonation depends on your preferred temperament system.
J RayFebruary 18, 2020, 5:41 PM "Looks like having a smart phone might be the way to go..."Erin, if you're thinking of getting a phone for this purpose and not using it as a phone, there's another option which comes to mind - using an inexpensive tablet.The Fire HD 8, for example, is often on sale and < $100. It's just one example, which I mention in case a tablet happens to be more useful or desirable than a smartphone for you.
Malcolm TurnerFebruary 21, 2020, 6:28 AM Mary Ellen is absolutely correct.
To simplify it, USE YOUR EARS.

Erin SabriniFebruary 22, 2020, 12:37 PM Michael, I will certainly try working with drones! thank you! Mary Ellen, as for the tempered tuning of a tuner, the Peterson strobotuner offers a variety of tuning systems, including Pythagorean, so Peterson is the tuner getting my first try...thank you, Graeme.
Mary Ellen GoreeFebruary 22, 2020, 12:42 PM It's pretty clear you're going to do what you're going to do, but your intonation will get much better much faster if you avoid using a tuner to practice scales. Play the scales as slowly as necessary to find each note in relation to the note before and/or a drone. And if you really want mechanical assistance to improve scale intonation, then pull out your phone and record yourself. You will learn much more about your intonation issues by listening to yourself (and marking the p
