Sanshin Tuner - Chindami

A free, simple tuner for the Okinawan sanshin. Pluck a string and the app hears which one it is, then shows you with a needle and colour whether you're flat, sharp or in tune. Note names in kunkunshi (合・四・工) and pitches by pitch-pipe number, so it works the way sanshin players already think. ■ Just pluck Recognises the low, middle and high string automatically. No order to follow, nothing to set up. The needle and colour show flat, sharp or in tune at a glance. Green means you're there, and a completion screen appears once all three strings are in. ■ Tunings and pitch All five common tunings: honchōshi, niagi, sansage, ichiage and ichisage. Pick the base pitch by pitch-pipe number 1 to 6 (A to D) and all three targets follow. ■ Reference tones Tap a string to hear its target note, or play all three to check the chord by ear. ■ Note names Kunkunshi (合・四・工), solfège or letters, your choice. ■ Settings Reference pitch A4 from 430 to 450 Hz, microphone sensitivity, Japanese or English. ■ Private by design Free, no ads, no account. Works offline. Microphone audio is analysed on the device only and is never recorded or sent anywhere. Built so that someone picking up a sanshin can tune it in under a minute without reading instructions.
