I'm guessing what you're asking for is a pure fifth with a just intonation 3:2 ratio. To clarify some terminology - a perfect fifth (compared to augmented fifth or diminished fifth) describes an interval that covers seven semitones, but you can get nit picky with how wide or narrow a perfect fifth can be. When she grows older and move on to bigger violins she will learn to tune by ear. I would be more concerned with establishing a great left hand foundation rather than worrying about tuning the violin to equal temperament, which is not a bad idea anyway if you are going to play with piano. The difference between a pure fifth and other kinds of tempered fifths isn't really that great compared to other pitch issues with small violins. It picks up vibration directly from the instrument and is easy to use. Well worth the money.īut for a four year old and her non-violinist parent, I recommend going with a simple clip-on tuner like Snark. So she cannot do this herself yet, but needs my assistance both in turning the finetuners and also getting it just right.ĬlearTune is a great app I use everyday for practice, rehearsals, and concerts. The other option is to get a list of Hz frequencies for every note lol.Īnd to add that encouraged by you, I let her once try to tune the e string herself, she can tune it just by ear to about +/- 10 now, but doesnt make it to just right yet but she yet doesnt play two string at the same time and she had dificulty in turning the fine tuner. Currently I use tuner lite app, but it doesnt do pythagorean tuning. I can buy a machine to carry with us also, but it needs to have a needle or a curve so that I still continue to use my ear too in the vain hope that it might become better in time. So please if any of you beginners are using one or any of you know a good one, preferably something that can be used also outdoors where there are more noise, please let me know. Maybe it develops but the thing is my girl needs the prefect tuning now, so I need an app or a machine with a needle to show Pythagorean tuning. i know it is hard for all of you to understand that I just dont hear the perfect fifths even though I do have a strong musical backround in piano, but I just dont, Im more that sorry myself that I dont have the ability. Did all that was suggested in the last thread but I simply just cannot hear it. I know the theory and have tried to listen to perfect fifths to no avail. So to sum it up shortly (though being short isnot my forte ) ) is that I cannot tune to perfect fifths and my girl of early 4 years old needs a violin that is tuned just right as she is developing her ear very fast in the direction of perfect pitch. Hi, I have to revive my tuning app/ tuner discussion as the names of the tuner programs are lost. Maria Lammi Tuning apps? Edited: May 8, 2017, 11:21 PM
