About

Shamisen tuning shouldn't be guesswork. Sawari gives you real-time visual feedback designed specifically for Tsugaru shamisen frequencies — so you can hear the difference, not just hope for it. WHY SAWARI? • Precision Visual Feedback — A live needle gauge and cents indicator show exactly how sharp or flat you are. When the ring glows green, you're locked in. • Hands-Free Auto-Advance — Hold a note in tune for one second and Sawari moves to the next string automatically. No more juggling your phone mid-tuning (Premium). • Three Traditional Tunings — Hon-choshi, Ni-agari, and San-sagari, ready to go. • Jūniritsu Pitch System — Transpose to any of the 12 traditional Japanese pitches (十二律) used in classical shamisen performance. • Built-In Reference Tones — Hear the exact target pitch before you tune. Play one string or all three in sequence. Double-tap to loop. • Adjustable Concert Pitch — Fine-tune your A4 reference from 432 Hz to 448 Hz to match any ensemble. GET STARTED FREE: • Free — Start tuning your first string right away • Basic — All three strings, all tuning modes, and Jūniritsu pitch selection • Premium — Everything in Basic, plus auto-advance, advanced noise filtering, reference tone playback, and an ad-free experience TRADITIONAL TUNINGS: - Hon-choshi (本調子): C3, F3, C4 - Ni-agari (二上り): C3, G3, C4 - San-sagari (三下り): C3, F3, A#3 Available in English, Japanese, Korean, French, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Whether you're picking up the bachi for the first time or performing on stage — Sawari keeps you in tune.
