If you are considering purchasing a violin, viola or cello tuner, you may also want to consider a chromatic tuner. A chromatic tuner will tune to any note including sharps and flats. Its tuning range on most models is almost as wide as all the notes on the piano. Therefore, a single chromatic tuner will tune virtually any instrument. Since a chromatic tuner can recognize every note, it has also been used for practicing intonation. This is done is by playing a note and see it is in-tune by checking against the tuner. Hence a tuner makes a very good tool for a string instrument player. To find out more about chromatic tuners, please click here: Chromatic Tuners A
