Pure and simple
A user-friendly tuning website for stringed instruments
Ease of use is at the core of American software developer Max Longton’s new tuning website Tune Anything. ‘When we take out our instruments to play, tuning is the first thing we do,’ he says, ‘so the tuner we use shouldn’t be complicated or difficult to use.’ Longton has dedicated separate pages to instruments including violin, viola, cello and double bass, each embedded with tuning buttons that correspond to the instruments’ different strings. When users click each button, the pitch plays, giving them a reference to tune the instrument. They can also adjust the tone’s volume.
