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 G3 B3 D4 G4. The pitches rise in order and form a G major chord. Fit a proper low-G string for G3; a normal high-G string tuned down an octave will be too slack.
