Chromatic Tuner

Tune any instrument with real-time pitch detection. Pluck a string, play a note — the tuner shows the note, octave and how many cents sharp or flat you are.

🎧 How to tune your instrument

  1. Click Start tuner and allow microphone access when the browser asks.
  2. Pluck one string at a time and let the note ring out for a couple of seconds.
  3. Watch the needle: if it points left, tune up (tighten). If it points right, tune down (loosen).
  4. Aim for the center — the needle turns green and the cents display reads 0.
  5. Tip: use the Guitar / Violin / Ukulele presets to highlight the string you are tuning.

🎧 Chromatic support

📎 Cents precision

The needle shows flat/sharp deviation in cents so you can tune exactly.
