## What is Dulcimer Tuner Simple?

Simple dulcimer tuner to tune up your dulcimer. This is for the standard DAA dulcimer beginner tuning. 

Tuning your dulcimer can be a difficult task for you if you are just beginning dulcimer. The good news is, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. A nicely tuned dulcimer can make your music sound a lot better and help you greatly while you're are just getting the hang of finger placement for notes.

Touch the note for the string you want to tune and then turn the tuning pegs on your dulcimer and match it up with the note that is being played. 

Tip: Make several passes tuning each of the strings. For example you might have noticed that if you have tuned all the strings once, and then back to the first one you tuned, it might be off a little bit. This is because you are increasing or decreasing the tension on each of the strings as you tune it and the instrument's body might bend ever so slightly due to this difference in tension. This causes the other strings to slightly change in pitch. So make sure you keep on checking and tuning the strings until all are in tune, so make several passes.

### 2/5 — Wrong strings

*2020-05-25*

The app shows the strings in the wrong order.  Two melody strings are on wrong side. Wish I could get my money back

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-07-24*

Totally ignoring the alternative tuning DAD

### 1/5 — What a waste

*2019-01-11*

It gives you tone for two notes, A and D. What a waste of a buck

### 5/5 — great

*2016-07-19*

love this app 😍

### 1/5 — Total Crap

*2015-08-07*

Not helpful at all, I can't even reach this pitch on my dulcimer. Waste of a dollar.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2014-09-17*

The app loads, but there's no sound.  Just an image with the string highlighted...  Too bad.
