Open source accordion tuner
Tune every reed, right down to the cent.
A fast, precise tuner that reads notes, cents, beats and every reed in real time, straight from the microphone or a recording. Free, open source, on Linux and Windows, with macOS, Android and iOS on the way.
A look inside
Every screen you tune on.
Five panels, from the live reading to the report you hand over.
The tuner
Live waveform, notes, spectrum and a value box per reed, locked so you read a number.
Workshop and curves
Draw the beat curve the instrument should hold, then tune each note to it.
Record and report
Record every locked tone and export a per-note tuning report.
Sessions
One accordion, its curve and its passes, saved to a file.
Settings
The input device, the naming, how the reading behaves, and the letterhead your reports print under.
How it stacks up
Free like lingot. Full like Dirk's.
lingot is a lovely free tuner, but it is not built for accordions. Dirk's is the paid pro standard. SmeggTuner is free, open, and does the whole job.
