A free tuner for guitar, ukulele or any note that listens on your own device: nothing is recorded, saved or sent, and the microphone switches off when you stop.

How to use it

  1. Pick guitar, ukulele or any note, then press Start the tuner and allow the microphone.
  2. Play one string at a time, close to the microphone, in a quiet spot.
  3. Turn the peg a little at a time until the needle sits in the middle and the screen says In tune.

Ideas for class

  • Tune a set of ukuleles at the start of music class: one student reads out the string, the class tunes together.
  • Let students tune their own instrument as a warm-up routine.
  • Use the any-note mode to find the pitch of a recorder or a singing voice.
  • Pair it with the metronome for a short practice routine.

Questions

Does the tuner record my students?

No. The sound goes from the microphone into a small program on the device that works out one pitch and then forgets the sound. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent, and the microphone is switched off the moment you press Stop or leave the page.

Why does it ask to use the microphone?

A tuner has to hear the string. The browser always asks first, and only after a button press.

It does not hear my instrument.

Move closer, play one note at a time, and try a quieter room. If the browser blocked the microphone, allow it in the site settings and press Start again.

The tuner listens through the microphone on this device only. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent, and the microphone switches off when you press Stop or leave the page. No sign-in, no ads. What each tool stores
