Here is a process to fix any out-of-tune notes.

How To Practice With A TunerĮven if your instrument is in tune, there might still be pitches within a musical passage that just don't sound right. Change the microphone setting to allow this site. Safari: Safari > Preferences, then click Websites. Firefox: Go to Preferences -> click Privacy & Security -> Scroll down to permissions and select Settings. Chrome: Go to Settings -> Site Settings -> Microphone and allow this site to access the microphone. If you have disabled it in the past, then the tuner will not work. This tuner will require mic access through your web browser. If the needle and strobe are centered and steady, then your instrument is tuned.
Make an adjustment to your instrument, either by adjusting a slide, a peg, or whatever your instrument's equivalent is. If you had to bring the pitch down, then you were sharp. If you had to bring the pitch up, you were flat. Once the tuner recognizes what note you are playing, try to adjust it so that it stays perfectly steady and centered on the dial. If you play an instrument that needs to transpose, like a trumpet or French horn, then you will need to understand how to transpose. If you play guitar, piano, or another instrument pitched in C, then you will see the note name of the pitch you play. Remember, these notes are shown in concert pitch. You will see the needle move and the strobe rotates until it finds the pitch you are playing. To use this instrument tuner, make sure the built-in microphone has web access. Playing with a tuner will help develop your intonation and an understanding of the tendencies of your instrument. While tuners work by tracking hertz, musicians measure how close they are to the pitch in measurements of cents. If it is flat, it will register as 439 Hz or lower. If an A is sharp, it will be 441 Hz or higher. Tuners work by detecting the frequency of the pitch (sound waves). The accuracy of a pitch is what musicians call intonation. It will let a musician know if the note they are playing is sharp (too high), flat (too low), or if it is in tune. You can find my contact details on 29a.ch/about.A tuner is a device musicians use to detect pitch accuracy. If you are interested in some of the more technical details please read the article I made myself a guitar tuner on my website. If low notes are not recognized try to play a harmonic or a octave higher. If you are using a notebook you can try psyically touching the device with your instrument while tuning. If you can't tune from a direct signal from a pickup (piezo or magnetic), try to keep the microphone as close to the instrument as possible. The tuner struggles in the presence of noise, reverb or if the harmonics are very powerful compared to the fundamental signal. When the signal is coming from a more noisy source like a microphone the accuracy becomes significantly worse. It should be good enough for demanding tasks like setting intonation and likely exceed the Just-noticeable difference in Pitch. Given a clean direct signal the tuner is typically accurate to less than 1 cent. Had success with something different? Let me know! :) Accuracy Clean Direct Signal That's all the instruments I had around the house. Electric Bass, and extended range guitars (via line). Electric Guitars (via line and microphone). Acoustic Guitars (via line and microphone). The tuner is chromatic and and works form 30 to 2000 Hz so it should be suitable for use with most instruments. You can pause the tuner by clicking on the note display. The dialog to do that will usually pop up in the top left corner of the browser window. You will then need to allow it to access your microphone (or audio interface). UsageĬlick on 'Start' to start the tuner.
