Start from slack
Every round simulates a new set of strings — completely loose. You turn each peg up to pitch, the way you would with a real instrument straight off the rack.
Practice Room · Tuning Trainer
Learn to tune by turning the pegs.
Fit a fresh set of strings — they start slack — then bring each one up to pitch by ear, matching the reference tone. No meter to lean on. Submit when you think you’ve nailed it.

Tune by ear
Play each string's reference tone and turn its peg until the two pitches lock together. There's no cents readout to chase — your ear does the work, the way it has to on a real instrument.
Score and repeat
Submit to see how close each string landed and an accuracy score out of 100. A coach prompts you the whole way through. No account needed — sign in only if you want progress saved.
Why practice tuning?
Tuning is a physical skill, not just an ear skill. New strings slip and stretch, pegs grab and release, and the last few cents are where strings snap. The trick every experienced player knows: always come up to a note, never down onto it, so the string settles and holds. This trainer lets you practise that motion safely — no broken strings, no seized pegs.
Work low string to high, in small turns near the target, and listen for the “beats” — that slow wobble between two close pitches that vanishes the moment you lock in.
