What Exactly is a Tuner?

A tuner is an essential tool for musicians and music enthusiasts. Its core function is simple: to tell you whether the sound your instrument produces is accurate. Whether you're a beginner touching an instrument for the first time or an experienced performer, tuning is a necessary step before playing. Accurate tuning is the foundation of good music—just like building a house requires level ground.

What Makes Fish Egg Tuner Special?

1. Visual Interface Designed Specifically for Tuning

We've designed a clear, intuitive tuning dial where pitch information is immediately visible. The rotating pointer and color changes visually tell you: in tune, or not.

2. Two Modes for Different Scenarios

• Fixed Mode: Suitable for standard tuning scenarios. We've preset standard pitches for various instruments, making it easy for beginners to get started.
• Free Mode: Suitable for advanced needs like alternative tunings and custom pitches. Tune to whatever pitch you want.

3. Smart Target Pitch Setting

In Fixed Mode, you can set a target pitch. The tuner not only tells you what note you're playing but also clearly shows how far you are from the target—whether too high or too low,一目了然.

4. Multi-Instrument Support

Guitar, ukulele, violin, piano... we've considered common string and keyboard instruments. Select your instrument, and the tuner automatically matches the corresponding standard pitches.

How to Use Fish Egg Tuner?

Step 1: Preparation

1. Navigate to the tuner page from the Fish Egg homepage
2. Important: Allow browser access to microphone permissions (otherwise, sound cannot be detected)

Step 2: Start Tuning

3. Once the tuner detects sound, it displays the current note name and frequency
   • Tip: Stable, sustained sound produces stable frequency readings
4. Observe the tuning dial:
   • Pointer indicates current pitch position
5. Use the scale to judge accuracy:
   • The center vertical line is the standard pitch position
   • The 50-cent marks on either side show how much you're off

Step 3: Advanced Usage

6. Switch to Fixed Mode:
   • Select your instrument
   • Choose target pitch (or set custom)
   • The tuning dial shows both target pitch position and detected pitch position
   • Clear indication: whether current pitch is too low or too high

Practical Demo: How to Tune a Guitar?

Let's use the most common instrument—the guitar—as an example to see how Fish Egg Tuner helps you complete tuning:

Step 1: Select Mode

1. Switch to "Fixed Mode"
2. Select "Guitar" from the instrument list

Step 2: Tune String by String

3. Start from the thickest sixth string down to the first:
   • 6th string: E2 (Low E)
   • 5th string: A2 (A)
   • 4th string: D3 (D)
   • 3rd string: G3 (G)
   • 2nd string: B3 (B)
   • 1st string: E4 (High E)

Step 3: Fine-Tuning Operations

4. Pluck the string and observe the tuning dial:
   • Pointer left (red area): Pitch too low → Tighten the string
   • Pointer centered (green area): In tune → Leave as is
   • Pointer right (yellow area): Pitch too high → Loosen the string
5. Tips:
   • Re-pluck and check after each adjustment
   • When close to pitch, turn slowly to avoid overshooting
   • After tuning one string, check it again—other strings' tension affects already-tuned strings

Why is Tuning Important?

You might think: Does being slightly off really matter? Actually, being slightly off-pitch makes chords dissonant and melodies distorted. It's like singing off-key—you might not notice, but listeners do.

More importantly, practicing long-term with inaccurate pitch trains your ears to accept wrong pitches, which is fatal to developing musicality. Good tuning habits are the key step from "being able to play" to "playing beautifully."

Final Recommendations

1. Tune before every practice session: Build good habits
2. Keep environment quiet: Background noise affects detection accuracy
3. Produce stable sound: Long, steady sounds are easier to detect than short bursts
4. Check regularly: Strings naturally go out of tune even when not played

Tuning isn't a burden—it's respect for yourself and the music. When every string produces accurate sound, you'll discover: my instrument can sound this good.

Fish Egg Tuner makes tuning simple, intuitive, and accurate. Try it—give your instrument an accurate voice.
