A digital tuning device connected to the neck of an ukulele and used to tune the strings. When you pluck a string, the (colored or monochrome) display shows how far the sound deviates from a standard tone. The measurement takes place via the vibration of the ukulele or via a microphone built into the tuner.

For ukuleles, there are

  • combined tuners with preset tunings for guitar (G), bass (B), violin (V) and ukulele (U) as well as chromatic (C, i.e., in semitone steps) or
  • purely chromatic tuners.
