Live microphone detection
Pitch analysis runs continuously in the browser and displays the nearest target, frequency, and cents difference.
Tune violin strings to G3-D4-A4-E5 with live microphone detection, visual peg targets, cents feedback, and adjustable concert pitch.
A violin is tuned in perfect fifths from G3 to E5. The tuner follows one bowed or plucked string at a time and shows the cents difference from the selected G, D, A, or E target.
The target setup on this page is G3 - D4 - A4 - E5.
Pitch analysis runs continuously in the browser and displays the nearest target, frequency, and cents difference.
The tuner shows whether the current note needs to move up, move down, or is within the in-tune range.
Select a visible target to hear a clean reference pitch when you want to compare the instrument by ear.
Microphone samples are analyzed locally and are not uploaded as an audio recording.
Tune in a quiet room and play only one clear note or open string at a time.
Start with G3 - D4 - A4 - E5. Available alternatives include Standard violin GDAE; use the Fiddle page for Cross A or Chromatic mode for custom scordatura.
Allow microphone access, keep the instrument close enough for a clean signal, and avoid other sustained sounds.
Play one open string and let it sustain while the tuner selects or follows its target.
Move gradually toward the center, then repeat every target because changing one string can slightly affect the others.
Use the dedicated preset when the target notes and physical string order matter more than a general chromatic reading.
Use the cents reading for small corrections after each string is close to its target pitch.
Approach the target from below and turn the peg gradually to avoid overshooting or placing excess tension on the string.
Set the A4 reference between 430 Hz and 450 Hz when matching an orchestra, teacher, piano, or recording.
Plucking often gives a cleaner initial reading; bowing helps confirm that the sustained pitch remains stable.
Both use the same pitch detector, but they organize targets differently.
| Violin Tuner preset | Chromatic mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Targets | G3 - D4 - A4 - E5 | All twelve semitones |
| Visual layout | Instrument-specific pegs and strings | Detected note and cents |
| Best for | Violin Tuner | Custom tunings and other pitched instruments |
| Tuning choice | Standard violin GDAE; use the Fiddle page for Cross A or Chromatic mode for custom scordatura | No instrument tuning required |
A dedicated preset is easier when you want the correct string order. Chromatic mode is more flexible when you already know the target note.
Yes. It runs in a supported browser without requiring an account or installing a tuning app.
The default targets are G3 - D4 - A4 - E5.
Yes. Allow microphone permission, keep the device near the instrument, and play in a quiet place for a more stable reading.
One semitone contains 100 cents. A negative reading is flat, a positive reading is sharp, and a value close to zero is in tune.
Other strings, room noise, overtones, and a hard attack can compete with the fundamental. Mute unused strings and read the note after it settles.
No. Live microphone analysis stays in the browser and the tuner does not create or upload an audio recording.
