## Description

Guitar Tuner! is an easy-to-use, extremely accurate audio/visual tuner for guitar. It shows exactly how many cents a note is out of tune and provides sub-second feedback to help you tune quickly and confidently. It supports standard tuning E-A-D-G-B-E plus many alternate tunings, and you can adjust the reference pitch from 400 Hz to 480 Hz to suit different instruments or environments.

A tap-to-hear option lets you verify pitches by ear, and Auto-string-detect can be enabled or disabled depending on your environment. Developed in Austin, Texas—the Live Music Capital of the World—this tuner is designed to make string winding and tuning straightforward for players of all levels.
