Oud Tuner: Cümbüş & Tanbur

I tune my viola da gamba to A = 415 hz instead of 450 hz. Easy peasy with this app. I tune my strings to D G C E A D, so created a custom instrument for it. Easy peasy again. I paid for the app; it works fine and is inexpensive. There are no adds.

I have to agree with Pooya8686, this is a great app for oud players. I used to use a chromatic tuner app, which was no trouble because I know what the notes are for each of the two or three tunings that I believe I will use. But this one to me is a bit easier to handle. I like the auto-repeat selector, and that when I play a note, it registers my oud’s tone seemingly without picking up stray sound waves from the tuner. Plus, I paid for this tuner for my iPad, but it was available also for my iPhone! (Two for one, I guess.) For me, this has worked well so far. I do feel sorry for KBKowBoy’s experience, and I hope he/she was able to get something in its place.

This is an essential app for oud players. I have to mention that the only drawback is in tuning function. There is more room for improvement. Overall I recommend it.
