Ready to tune?

Click "Start Listening" and select a string to tune. Auto-detect is assist-only and works best when the string is already close to pitch.

Tune the fourth through first strings to A4 D4 F#4 A4. The open strings form D major. This preset raises G4, C4, and E4 by a whole step from high-G standard, so use strings and an instrument setup approved for the extra tension.
