Pano Tuner listens, finds your pitch, and shows you exactly how far you are — sharp or flat — clearly enough to trust. Simple to open, accurate enough to rely on, and a favorite of players and teachers for years. One precision engine, almost any instrument. From the lowest bass string to the top of a piccolo or harp, Pano Tuner tracks the note the instant you play — and shows both the note and its exact frequency, in hertz and cents. MADE FOR REAL MUSICIANS • Fast, sensitive, accurate — reacts immediately and holds steady. • Tune almost anything — guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola, cello, harp, brass, woodwinds, voice, and folk & world instruments. • Match your ensemble — set concert-A (e.g. A=442) to your group or a historical pitch. • Read notes your way — A B C, Do Re Mi, fixed-Do, German H, and more. • A clear, readable meter and a clean, distraction-free design. BEYOND EQUAL TEMPERAMENT Most tuners know only one tuning. Pano Tuner includes nine historical and microtonal temperaments — Equal, Pythagorean, Just, quarter-/third-/sixth-comma meantone, Kirnberger III, Vallotti, and Werckmeister III — and lets you create and save your own. Made for harpsichord, organ, early music, and anyone tuning beyond the modern standard. ALSO • Play a clean reference tone for any note. • Adjustable tolerance, so "in tune" means what you need it to mean. Free with ads. Upgrade to the full Pano Tuner to remove them.
