Instrument Tuner

Instrument Tuner is an application designed for amateur radio operators, facilitating a user-friendly interface and options for tuning musical instruments and checking the voice pitch. It features just a handful of settings that can be easily configured.

Before proceeding any further, you should know that the utility hasn't received updates for a long time and it doesn't work on newer Windows models or 64-bit processors.

This is also obvious by the look of the installer, which has a fullscreen window with a solid background color that takes us back to classical Windows.

As far as the interface is concerned, Instrument Tuner has a single window that holds together all options and tweaks you can make.

To get started, you should make sure that your musical instrument and microphone device are plugged into the computer unit. It's possible to toggle piano, violin and guitar mode, adjust the signal level and microphone gain, set the frequency and hold it down, as well as tune the instrument by clicking on buttons while keeping a close eye on a graphical representation of the low and high notes. It reveals the input tone to nearest musical note .

The software program worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. As we expected from such a compact tool, it had minimal impact on the machine's performance, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. We haven't experienced any stability issues.

On the other hand, Instrument Tuner hasn't been updated for such a long time that it doesn't work on modern Windows models or 64-bit processors. It was originally designed for Windows XP, so 32-bit XP users can still give it a go if they're looking for a simple and straightforward method for fine-tuning musical instruments and verifying the voice pitch.
