Online Ukulele Tuner: Where Can I Find One?
Getting your ukulele in tune is absolutely vital. You would think it goes without saying, but it’s surprising how many people think it’s ok to play an out of tune ukulele. Luckily, it’s easy to find a free online ukulele tuner.
For a listen and compare tuner, this site has a tuner with a number of possible variations on the standard ukulele tuning.
If you’re looking for tuning notes for low-G ukulele, baritone ukulele or a number of other common variations you can find them on this page of ukulele tuning notes.
For a tuner that will tell you when you’re out of tune, you can download AP Tuner for free (although it will bug you to register at a hugely overpriced $35 – you could buy a real life tuner for around half that). To use it, you’ll need a mic to plug into your computer. The notes you want to tune to for gCEA are G4, C4, E4 and A4. Don’t feel you need to get the notes bang on – you’ll be there forever.

I like the Korg CA-30 tuner. I use it for my ukuleles and my banjo. I’ve had it for nearly 2 years, and I’m still on my first set of batteries. Couldn’t work better, and costs less than $20.

Hey there,
Audio Tuner provides both methods of tuning ukuleles – frequency analysis, and pitch pipe. There are versions for the PC, and a number of mobile phones are also supported.
