Every tuning. No paywall. No account required. Rig Tuner is a fast, accurate chromatic tuner built by RigVerse for players who are tired of tuners that put Drop D behind a subscription. Every tuning below is free, and always will be. FAST AND ACCURATE Pitch detection runs entirely on your device using normalised autocorrelation — the same approach used in professional audio software. It locks on in a fraction of a second and stays steady on low strings, where cheaper tuners drift and flicker. 22 TUNINGS, ALL FREE Guitar — Standard, Drop D, Drop C#, Drop C, Drop B, Half Step Down, Full Step Down, Open G, Open D, Open E, Open C, Open A, DADGAD, DADAAD, All Fourths, Nashville Bass — 4-string, 5-string, Drop D Other — Ukulele, Mandolin, Banjo (open G) REFERENCE PITCH Tune to A = 432, 438, 440, 441 or 442 Hz for orchestral, period and ensemble work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio is analysed on your device. Nothing is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.
