Guide

Tuning a violin

The violin's strings are G D A E, from lowest to highest. Tune the A first, as orchestras do, then the others. Press Start tuning and bow a long, steady note, or pluck the string close to your ear.

Use the fine tuners on the tailpiece for small changes, and the pegs only when a string is far out. Turn pegs while pushing them gently into the peg box so they hold.

Tuning to a group

Many orchestras tune slightly above 440, often to 442. Set the reference pitch to match the group, or tap a string button to hear the note and tune by ear.

The tuner listens through your microphone only while it is on. Nothing is recorded and no sound leaves your device: each tiny slice is analysed on the spot and thrown away.

Other tuners: guitar, bass, ukulele, violin and the chromatic tuner for any instrument or voice.
