What is a chromatic tuner
A chromatic tuner recognizes all twelve notes of the scale (with sharps) in any octave, not just the strings of one instrument. It works for tuning any instrument and for practicing vocal pitch.
The sound is analyzed on your device and is never recorded or sent. The frequency of the middle A is 440 Hz and can be changed.
Good to know
