Press start to tuning
The Banjo Tuner instantly begins pitch detection once you grant microphone access. It listens to the string you pluck and calculates its pitch in real time. The tool displays both the note name and frequency in Hertz (Hz), helping you achieve precise tuning.
This tool is designed to recognize a variety of traditional and alternate banjo tunings. Whether you’re tuning to Open G (gDGBD), Double C (gCGCD), or D Modal (gDGCD), the tuner will help guide you string by string. Just strike a string and adjust based on the real-time tuner feedback.
A clear, tuning meter helps you visually align your string’s pitch. If the needle leans left, the string is flat; if it leans right, it’s sharp. Once the needle centers, your string is perfectly tuned. Even if you’re new to tuning, the visual aid makes it intuitive and reliable.
With low latency and high responsiveness, this tuner is great for quick checks before or during live performances. It reacts instantly to every string you pluck, letting you adjust rapidly without interrupting your practice or show. The precision is good enough even for studio sessions.
The Banjo Tuner is designed with simplicity and clarity in mind. You’re only shown the key elements: current note, detected frequency, and visual needle feedback. There are no unnecessary features cluttering your tuning process.
The banjo tuner is web-based and works on all platforms—Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. It automatically adjusts to your screen size, whether you’re on a laptop, phone, or tablet. Whether you’re at home or in rehearsal, the tuner is right in your pocket.
