Which tuners are there?
The A and O of making music is a correctly tuned stringed instrument! In order to adjust the right tones at a violin for example you need a tuner. The simplest of all tuners is still the good old tuning fork. These days there is also a substantial offer of digital tuners like the Fzone Tuner or the Pacato Tuner flowers, both chromatic tuners. Multifunctional devices combine metronome and tuner, like the Pacato Metro-Tuner flowers or the Fzone Metro-Tuner combi. Some devices even combine three functions: metronome, tuner and tone generator.
Tuning fork
Tuning forks are offered in two different versions: tuning fork with 440 Hz or tuning fork with 443 Hz. Both are operated in the classic manner. You slightly hit it and then hold the tuning fork next to your ear or to the stringed instrument.
