About Tune Right: Guitar Tuner
A free guitar tuner that locks on fast and shows exactly which way to turn. Needle or real strobe, guided six-string tuning, and every instrument and tuning included. No ads. No account. Pluck a string and Tune Right finds it, from high E right down to the low B of a 5-string bass. When you're close, switch to the strobe and watch the bands slow to a stop for the last few cents. TESTED ON REAL INSTRUMENTS Tune Right is tested against hundreds of real recordings of guitar and bass notes, from high E down to low B. EVERY INSTRUMENT AND TUNING, FREE Guitar: Standard, Drop D, Drop C, DADGAD, Open G, Open D, Open E, Open A, Half Step Down, Full Step Down, Nashville, 12-String Bass: 4-string, 5-string, Drop D Ukulele: Standard (GCEA), Low G, Baritone Orchestral: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass Folk: Mandolin, 5-String Banjo Chromatic mode for any single note, plus a reference tone for every string. CLEAR FROM THE FIRST PLUCK • A big note name, a steady needle and plain tighten-or-loosen guidance • A visible in-tune target so you know when to stop • A green check and a gentle tap when you land it • Cleaner feedback when the room is noisy or the signal is weak GUIDED TUNING Let Tune Right walk you through the strings one at a time. It shows the string you're on, tells you if you're plucking the wrong one, and moves on when the note settles. STROBE DISPLAY, INCLUDED Switch from the needle to a real strobe view for the final few cents. Watch the bands slow to a stop as you bring the pitch home. Both displays are free. STAGE MODE An extra-large, high-contrast display you can read from your music stand or across a dark stage. PRO, IF YOU WANT IT Tune Right Pro adds a guided full-guitar intonation check and saves your results. Try the first-string check free. Pro is a one-time purchase, or an annual plan if you prefer. Tuning never needs it.
