What is a chromatic tuner?
A chromatic tuner detects any of the 12 notes in the chromatic scale, making it more versatile than instrument-specific tuners.
Instead of only recognising guitar pitches, a chromatic tuner identifies any musical note regardless of the instrument.

Chromatic vs instrument-specific tuner
An instrument-specific tuner only knows the standard pitches for that instrument. A chromatic tuner recognises all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, making it suitable for any instrument and any tuning.
When to use a chromatic tuner
Use it for alternate tunings (Drop D, Open G, half-step down), for non-guitar instruments, or whenever you need to check a single pitch without preset string names.
