Use this free online mandolin tuner to tune up your mandolin. This is for the standard GDAE mandolin tuning. For other methods on how to tune your mandolin go to our Mandolin Tuning Methods page. Click on the note for the string you want to tune and then turn the tuning pegs on your mandolin and match it up with the tone that is being played. The thing that is special about mandolins, is that the strings are in pairs of 2. Each string in a pair is exactly the same note. The reason why mandolins are like this is because it creates a cool chorus-like effect.

I've used the mandolin and bass tuners so often, I thought it was high time I expressed my appreciation. Great tools, thanks very much.

Hey Sacha, Generally, "Perfect Pitch" is the ability for a person to identify a note without an external reference note. For example, if you play a note on your instrument, a person with perfect pitch can tell you if you played a B or a Bb ... without any other reference notes played. Regardless, I agree with your discussion on temperament and harmonic intervals. However, that isn't what most people know as "Perfect Pitch".
Sacha [13-10-2009 23:35]
(Re: Previous msg); and again, there is no such thing as perfect pitch. Anyone that says to me that they know someone with perfect pitch, I just smile and nodd. Fact is, any instrument that has a finite number of notes within each octave that are equally tempered (notes that are logarithmically-evenly divided in pitch) are never going to fall on exactly harmonic frequencies, unless they are octaves or unisons. Thus we can't have both equal temperament and exactly harmonic intervals. We have to sacrifice one to have the other. Some musical cultures use pure harmonic tuning, whilst most western cultures use equal temperament. There is no right or wrong.

(Re: the comment on 25/09/09 about the E being sharp and the others flat)... I believe this is called Psycho-acoustics. Sometimes also if you spread your speakers further apart, it can be perceived more accurately. In anycase, I still believe exact pitches are limited to discrete intervals in any digital system, subject to the product of the sampling rate and the bitrate. Agreed that this is acceptable for beginners until they learn to recognise consonant tones on their own.
