Bandmate Chromatic Tuner
What it is
Bandmate Chromatic Tuner is a free tuner for music students and educators working with band, orchestra, guitar, or voice. As a player performs or a singer holds a note, it places that pitch on a music staff transposed for the chosen instrument. Its needle is orange and turns green when the pitch is within +/- 5 cents of in tune. A one-tap control changes the spelling of enharmonic notes between flat and sharp. Instrument options include saxophones, brass, strings, woodwinds, guitar and ukulele, bells, recorder, and voice in bass or treble clef. The tuner is available on Android, iOS, and the web; the browser version works on Chromebooks, Android devices, or any device with a web browser. The maker says it has no third-party ads and is intended to be suitable for school systems. Its privacy policy says it does not collect or share personal information. Optional contributions through PayPal or Venmo help cover maintenance and App Store costs.
