They are designed to listen to whichever note you play and indicate which note you are closest to.

I do not recommend these tuners to anyone and especially not to beginners.Ĭhromatic Tuners - These tuners, on the other hand, are capable of listening to all notes. These tuners are designed specifically to identify the notes of the guitar’s open strings. What they do is they try to recognize which guitar string you are playing and then tell you whether it is high or low. Non-chromatic Guitar Tuners - As we mentioned above: These tuners are not suitable to tune the ukulele either because they are designed specifically for the guitar. If you have an electric or electric/acoustic ukulele you should be able to use a pedal tuner without a problem. This is unless you’re using an electric ukulele of course. These and all other types of tuners that require plugging in are not suitable for acoustic instruments such as the ukulele or the classical guitar for the obvious reason that the instruments have nowhere to plug in. Pedal Tuners - Pedal tuners are plugged in to the guitar.

Then there are some that hear the sounds easier: there are Pedal Tuner, Clip On Tuners, and Audio Tuners. Many tuners are setup for just guitar and only have the guitar strings. First of all, you need to check if your Guitar Tuner is Chromatic, meaning it has all the notes, or does it have capacity for Ukulele? The problem is that the Ukulele has a 'C' string and the guitar doesn't.
