Violin Tuner : Easy to use - "plucking" real violin sound

The RandomUsefulStuff KZbin tuning video is an easy to use violin tuner designed to help you get the right notes to tune your violin.
We have made the tuner interactive so you can select any note you want in any order or go back to that pesky string that just won't tune right on your instrument. Just make sure you have your annotations turned on and then simply click the note you want to play.
Go here for violin tuning tips:
• Violin Tuning Tips - P...
All the notes you hear were recorded live from a circa 1920's Czechoslovakian replica of a Antonius Straivarius Cremonensis violin.

Hi, Everyone... If you are looking for tips to help with your violin tuning I've created a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5PYl4J7br6UZrM that should help with slipping pegs, and other tuning issues. It's just the first a few videos on this topic... so let me know what else you would like me to cover.

There are several things for how to learn the violin Decide precisely why you wish to play the violin Ensure that you are committed to learn the violin Find what method works for you best - an online course or a personal tutor or lessons. (I learned about these and more from Ajana Music Lessons website )

[@NaniiRey]

A lot of people complaining that their violin won’t tune or the strings are fucked. Just loosen all the fine tuners and loosen each string, then tighten the string to the closest note using a tuner app. After that retune the string using the fine tuners. If you just keep readjusting the fine tuners ever time it’s time for tuning they’re just gonna keep getting tighter and tighter. Always loosen the fine tuners and strings when tuning. If you can’t get the strings to stay at a certain note when retuning or tuning at all just make sure to press them in when tuning. Also keep your violin clean and use super gentle soap if you ever need to clean anything. Always make sure to wipe down the end of the fingerboard when you’re done playing. And hell. To make tuning easier so that way you don’t end up tightening the fine tuners too much, just make sure to unwind the strings a notch and loosen the pegs before putting your instrument away. You’re welcome.
