Tips
Play one string at a time and let it ring. Pluck rather than bow if the needle won't settle.
When the needle sits in the green and the note turns green, the string is in tune. It gets a green dot below.
Tune from below: if a string is sharp, bring it down past the note and come back up. It stays in tune longer.
On a fiddle, tune the A first, then D, G and E, checking the A again at the end.
In a noisy room, hold the phone or laptop close to the instrument.
