About Instrument Tuner

The Instrument Tuner is a chromatic tuner that listens through your microphone and tells you exactly what you are playing. Play a single note and it shows the closest note name, the frequency in hertz, and how many cents sharp or flat you are, with a clear in-tune indication when you land it.

Because it is chromatic, it works for any pitched instrument — guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, brass, woodwinds or voice — in any tuning, not just standard. There is nothing to install: allow microphone access, press Start tuning, and adjust until the needle settles on “In tune.”

Pitch detection runs entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your microphone audio is analyzed locally and never leaves your device — nothing is recorded or uploaded — and the tuner is free with no credits charged.

How to use Instrument Tuner

  1. Click “Start tuning” and allow microphone access when your browser asks.
  2. Play a single, sustained note on your instrument.
  3. Read the display: the closest note, the frequency in Hz, and how many cents sharp or flat you are.
  4. Adjust your tuning until the tuner reads “In tune,” then repeat for each string or note.
  5. Click Stop when you are finished.

Any pitched instrument. The tuner is chromatic, meaning it detects all twelve notes rather than fixed target strings, so it works for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, wind instruments and even your voice — in standard or alternate tunings.

A cent is one hundredth of a semitone. The display shows how many cents you are above (sharp) or below (flat) the nearest note — the closer to zero, the more accurately you are in tune.

Your browser denied the microphone permission. Click the padlock or permissions icon in the address bar, allow microphone access for this site, then press “Start tuning” again.

Play one note at a time and let it ring. Chords or background noise confuse pitch detection, so tune in a quiet room and mute the other strings while you tune each one.
