Important: the open strings are "true" but the fingered notes can vary slightly from violin to violin.
I've checked some apps against my Peterson and have found a few that didn't get it quite right. Some earlier tuners (I'm thinking of ClearTune) would get the open strings in tune but might be off on the other notes. Make sure you have a quality tuner which gets all the fingered notes tempered for a violin. Otherwise, the strings may be slightly off. Make sure you get a tuner that will temper itself to a *violin* tuning (has a "violin" setting). Įlectronic tuners can be very, very useful for tuning your fiddle and during practice.Paul Carlson Edited: December 8, 2021, 11:51 AM The app is dead on in agreement with the pitch of this tuning fork. Each is spot on with the other! I have a tuning fork manufactured to a 440 A. So, I set up both to have this app active as I play. In a concluding note, I have this app downloaded to both my phone and tablet. As a result, I'm gradually recalibrating where I place my fingers on the fingerboard for proper intonation. In using this app, I've learned that, what sounded "right" to me, was incorrect. So, I've always internally gauged my intonation by what sounded "right" to me. My intonation is more relative than absolute, which is to say, I don't have perfect pitch. What a revelation! While my latter years hearing may be a little challenged, I have to believe that my overall intonation has improved, even compared to intonation of earlier years. This is a very powerful approach towards improving one's intonation. I'll take a phrase or passage, and playing note by note, and while viewing the tablet's screen, I can view the accuracy of my intonation.
Both in playing scales and pieces, I've been working with this app to improve my intonation in general. I'm sure there are other useful apps of this nature.īut, my purpose in beginning this thread is to emphasize how beneficial a "tuning' app like this can be during practice. 440) for an A, it can record play back one's playing, and it has a built in metronome. It displays the note currently being played (or attempted), and registers how close it is to being in tune.

She recommended the SoundCorset app that can be downloaded to Apple and Android tablets and phones. I've heard about tuning devices, so I asked my teacher for recommendations. It appears to be sufficiently good for playing and practice, but I was having trouble tuning the E string using fifths. I'm retired, and after decades of not playing, I've recently purchased a nice violin and am very much enjoying taking up the violin again.īut alas, my hearing isn't what it used to be.
