Guitar Tuner Tones: Match Each String to Its Reference Pitch
A tuner app is not always to hand, but a reference tone is enough to tune by ear. This tool gives you the pitch for every standard string.
What is the Guitar Tuner Tones?
Tuning by ear is easier with a steady reference pitch. Choose a string and this tool shows its note and frequency, and in the browser it can play that tone through WebAudio so you can match it. Outside the browser it still lists the pitch, so the reference is never lost.
How to use it
- Enter your values in the fields provided.
