Bass tuner

E1 · A1 · D2 · G2

Standard four-string tuning: E1, A1, D2 and G2. Low strings are where most browser tuners give up, because a 41 Hz fundamental is both quiet and easily confused with its own octave. Fork detects down to 70 Hz directly and snaps the octave above back down for anything lower.

Tap a dot to hear the string. On a phone speaker the low notes are reproduced through their harmonics rather than their fundamental, which your ear reassembles into the right pitch.

Common questions

Is it free?
Yes. No signup, no account, no paid tier.
Does it record me?
No. Pitch detection runs in your browser and the audio never leaves your device.
Can I tune to A = 432 Hz?
Yes. Reference pitch adjusts from 430 to 450 Hz under settings, with 432 and 440 as presets.
Why does it need my microphone?
A tuner works by listening. Your browser will ask the first time you press start.
