Easy guitar tuning using Android

Tuner-gStrings Free ( Tuner GStrings Free ) is a handy app for tuning  the sound of stringed instruments such as guitars. Just like a real tuning device, it is characterized by the ability to emit sounds for tuning and to hear the scale of the instrument. When you suddenly try to play a guitar, gStrings is convenient because you can easily tune the sound. 

When you launch gStrings, an analog meter-like screen appears. First, select the scale at the top of the screen. Taking the example of a guitar, start with the first string, so select "e" (sound of mi). Next, tap "Sound 'e'" and you will hear the sound of "e" (mi) from the speaker. After adjusting the first string while listening to the sound, tap "Tune 'e'" and play the adjusted first string. GStrings recognizes the sound that is ringing, and indicates with the needle of the meter whether the sound matches. Fine-tune the string so that the needle is in the center of the screen, and the tuning is complete.

One of the advantages of gStrings is that it supports sound tuning using harmonics. Being able to tune with harmonics in addition to open strings is convenient for those who are familiar with guitars. In addition to guitar, it also supports violin, viola, cello and double bass. Being able to tune in a scale that suits each instrument would be a great benefit for those who handle stringed instruments.

However, the movement of the needle of the meter may be a little awkward. If you play the strings continuously, this phenomenon will occur, so it's a good idea to sound your eyes a little more slowly. Also, since all screens are in English, it may be difficult to understand at a glance where to operate.

gStrings is a useful app to match the sound of stringed instruments such as guitar violin.

PROS

  • Play the same sound as the scale of the string you want to tune
  • Listening to the actual string sound and displaying the sound with the needle of the meter

  • Meter needle may move awkwardly
