Violin Tuner - LikeTones

Bass guitar player. Learned by ear. Girlfriend’s daughter is just starting out on the violin. Whoever they have tuning these violins is… well, they are bad. I could hear it instantly how off every string was. Between this app (which worked best), three other apps, an e-bow, a trip to the guitar store, and my own personal expertise, her violin was wound WAY too tight by the teacher. EADG for my bass right? GDAE for her violin. 3/4. Not only did the strings instantly snap when even the slightest attempt to tune was made, but the sound was unbearable. When I restrung the violin, I used THIS app. Didn’t take more than a few minutes. Almost as fast as I can do my bass, but I have been doing that by ear for 25 years. I highly recommend you use this app and here after I finish this review, I am going to donate to the programmers… because it is free! Job well done. Thank You for making it free too. Look for my contribution.

It took me a few tries to appreciate the full ranges of options available, but once I realized it is a tone generator; an extremely accurate chromatic tuner (focussed upon violin string pitch and giving the exact frequency of the chosen string); a very clear display (even from a distance; and also a metronome… I was quite impressed. There are options to change language and to change reference tuning as well. Very sophisticated. A simple and very useable package of tools.
