All tunings.

Standard and alternate tunings for every instrument on TuneLit, with every string from low to high. Tap a card to open a tuner already set to it.

Notes from low to high

Every tuning, with notes

Every tuning has a card of its own: tap it to open a tuner already set to it. The pegs show the notes in the order the tuner shows the strings, for guitars and basses from the thickest string to the thinnest.

The strings a tuning changes light up, with an arrow and a number under them: ↓2 is two half steps lower than standard tuning, ↑1 one half step higher, and a dash means the string stays as it is.

Need something that is not here? Every tuner can shift any tuning by half steps and fine cents, so C♯ Standard on a 7-string or Drop D on a 6-string bass is two taps away.

Questions

What is the most popular alternate guitar tuning?

Drop D (D A D G B E) is the most common: only String 6 changes, a whole step down. E♭ Standard, a half step down on every string, is a close second.

What does "standard" mean in a tuning name?

The normal pattern of the instrument, shifted so the lowest string lands on the named note. D Standard on a guitar is the usual E A D G B E, every string a whole step lower.

My tuning is not listed. Can I still use it?

Often, yes. Every tuner can shift any tuning by half steps and add fine cents, and the chromatic tuner reads any note at all.
