ENO MUSIC Professional Violin Viola Tuner, Colorful LCD Display Easy Control Clip on Accurate Violin Tuner

As a novice violinist, achieving the perfect tune is crucial, and this tuning tool delivers precision that has garnered approval from my wife, an accomplished musician, as well as my violin instructor and a separate electronic tuning device. It has proven to be a true time-saver, effortlessly clamping onto the pegbox with speed and ease. The visual clarity it provides is exceptional, even for me without my glasses. Its compact size is a standout feature, seamlessly fitting into my violin case for convenient portability during travels. Overall, this tuning accessory has significantly enhanced my practice sessions and performances, making it an indispensable tool for any violinist, whether beginner or seasoned.

Love this tuner for my violin. I can put it on just tuning hor the continuous mode that registers each note. Since I’m new to the instrument I use it to make sure my fingers on on the right notes. Use to use. Easy to read and adjust my placement for correction. Easy to set up. Easy to turn on and off. Fits well below the scroll around my D/A string pegs. I’m also using the Trala app that I live and it’s helping learn at my pace. Very user friendly. The app and the tuner work well together. Would buy again. I was using my phone app but I wanted to be able to have my head in the right direction while holding the violin and read the music. The phone was getting in the way too much.

The tuner folds to be small and fit into a case. It works even when other nearby instruments are playing. However, 1. the buttons are small for adult fingers; 2. the top button is multi-function, so if you give it too short of a press to turn off, instead it resets A to 430, then you have to cycle through multiple frequencies to get back to 440 and a long press to turn it off. There should be 3 buttons. 3. the symbols on the buttons identifying function are too small to read. I put paint on the top button to identify on and off (plus the other things it does); 4. it only sets 4 note frequencies, if you want the E string tuned to C for roots music, you are out of luck. I will eventually buy a more expensive tuner without these flaws.

I love using this so much, it’s super handy and fits perfectly on my 15” viola.

Tuners are a dime a dozen, but a tuner that mounts on a pegbox and viewable by the musician is a rare and desirable commodity. Unfortunately, this product is geared towards the fractional-sized violins; 3/4, 1/2, etc. It is a big stretch of the clip to fit on a full-size violin, let alone viola, cello or base. The battery cover attaches with a tiny Philips head screw, so replacing it while away from your workshop might be a trick. Nice that they include a spare battery, but the compartment does not indicate + and - side, so you need to know your battery design and connectivity principles to get it in correct position. Other than that, the unit seems fine, with a bright display. The "chromatic" setting (be sure to switch to it from "violin") is a big help for skill-building fingering and ear training on a fretless playboard. If they fixed the mechanical design issues it would get 5 stars.

The device is set up for violin, viola, cello, or ‘chromatic’ - which means you can use it to tune everything from a bowed instrument to a banjo to a flute. Easy to use and it seems durable, so kids could use this, too. It also came with a battery and an EXTRA battery, which I appreciated. Playing in tune is critical - this will help any student. You can also set it ar 440hz or choose from a range from 430 to 450hz, it isn’t automatically going to just give you a 440 tuning and nothing else - this feature is useful if you are playing historical instruments, or trying to match up with instruments tuned a bit over or under 440.

I have been using a different tuner for my violin but decided to try this one for my practice violin. It was a great purchase and fits extremely well. The ONLY drawback is I have to take it off of my violin when putting my violin back in the case. I expected this when I made the purchase, so it isn’t that big of a deal.

While I was using it for the first time to tune up my daughter's violin for her first day of orchestra at her new school, the reading pegged out at A_1 and wouldn't change even though I could hear the pitch was getting higher. This ultimately resulted in the brand new high E string I was putting on breaking. I'm requesting a refund plus a good quality medium gauge E string, but likely am out the cost of both, plus a decent replacement tuner. Should have bought a Snark to start with, which I have experience with and just works!

Good

Very good for tuning the violin.

Fonctionne bien , facile, mais trouver le bon endroit pour le fixer sur le violon n’est pas évident pour qu’il tienne bien.

This is a good tuner for violins, I love how it comes with two batteries, it’s easy to use and effective. I have no complaints with this tuner and I have been using it for about 2 months, definitely an great price and great product.

This is a really nice digital tuner. It has built in modes to lock it to the notes of the instruments in a string quartet: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass. But since the violin and mandolin have the exact same tuning it works equally well for my Mando as well. This got me thinking. Would it work on my 7 string Ibanez electric guitar in chromatic mode? It turns out that chromatic mode makes it work exactly like every other tuner on the market, so the answer is yes. You could happily buy this for your guitar as well. Just make sure it is set to chromatic mode when you use it. The letters and light indicators are very large and readable which my 48 year old eyeballs for much appreciated. The clip is also cleverly set at a 90 degree rotation to the screen. Why don't all digital tuners do this? It makes it much more easy to read than most other tuners.
