What is the best violin tuner to get?
Thanks. I’m fairly good at tuning my violin by ear when i have a pitch to match it with. I would just like to double check it. So I’m looking for a violin tuner to buy. Any suggestions on the best one? So far I’ve looked on Southwest Strings at: Korg Chromatic Tuner. CenterPitch Universal Clip on and the Seiko Chromatic Tuner. Any help? Thanks!
If you touch an A-440 tuning fork to your bridge and pluck the "A" string, you can hear:
1) if it is relatively in tune, and
2) if it is almost in tune, in which case there are beats.
You should be able to tune to perfect 5ths on the violin much better than using any tuner as reference.
The tuning fork is accurate beyond any difference your ear can tell, costs under $5, and doesn’t need batteries or an outlet.
You can get one here: http://www.sharmusic.com/search2.asp?track_search=Y&SKW=tuning+fork
There is no electronic tuner that will do as good a job as you can this way, except for some stroboscopic tuners costing hundreds of dollars.

The best Tuner for the violin is one which clips to the bridge. You can tune while the trumpets are blasting and have no problems. You can pluck the string so gently that you can tune while the orchestra is playing and not be heard.
This comes in handy if you ever play in a group where you have tacit pieces.
