Description of Tenor Banjo Tuner

Simple app that shows which string to tune, which direction to tune up or down (No more broken strings). The app is aimed toward beginners that don't have the ear yet or know what pitch to tune the banjo.
Tuning advice for best results:
Banjo string frequencies sound an octave below instruments like accordion and fiddle hence why people break banjo strings using tuners not designed for banjo. For example the note A on most instruments would be 440Hz but on the banjo it is an octave below 220Hz
When using the app keep tapping the string you want to tune with your thumb and also try plectrum to figure out what works best, resting the palm of your hand on the banjo skin also helps when tuning. Watch video above for an example.

    Love these tuners you created, would it be better to put all these into one app so I dont have 3 apps for different instruments 🤔

    Best Irish tenor banjo tuner on play store. I recommend this to all my students and they never have issues with tuning. Not sure what they last guys comment was about saying this sucks. Crazy

    As a tenor banjo beginner I found this app very helpful when my banjo tuner ran out of battery. I found I needed to keep plucking each string with my plectrum to see what level it was at and was able to tune my banjo in minutes. One suggestion I would have is to allow the user to select the string if possible, before trying to tune but otherwise I was very happy. Thanks for making this!
