KookYar Violin Tuner

About this app

KookYar Violin tunes your violin for classical music and for Persian music. Use the standard Mi-La-Re-Sol (E-A-D-G) tuning, or pick the tuning for a dastgah and the tuner shows each string's note, including sori and koron strings.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose a tuning and tap the string you want to tune, or turn on Auto string detection.
2. Play the string.
3. Turn the peg until the needle sits in the green zone.

FEATURES
• 14 ready-made tunings: standard Mi-La-Re-Sol (E-A-D-G), Shur, Abu-Ata, Bayat-e Tork, Afshari & Mahur, Dashti, Homayun & Segah, Isfahan, Shushtari, Chahargah, plus Shur (Mi-La-Si koron-La), Isfahan (Re-Sol-Re-Sol), Re-La-Re-La and Mi-La-Mi-Fa sori

• Needle gauge with a ±100 cent scale and a clear green in-tune zone
• Reference tone: hear the target note for the selected string
