The Bagpipe Tuner App allows precision tuning of Highland bagpipes. Simply sound a note and start tuning. It's easy and accurate.
Bagpipe Tuner App for Highland Bagpipes accurately detects your pipe chanter notes, drones and displays the note, frequency and pitch position. Detection is via the inbuilt microphone, or in noisy environments an external microphone like the HBT clip mic can be attached.
Bagpipe Tuner features both digital and analog style meters, waveform input monitor and auto gain limiter. Simply press the Learn button and start tuning, or turn horizontal to access a larger meter display.
Using a Bagpipe Tuner can really make tuning less stressful, listening more pleasant and playing more enjoyable. You can quickly check your pipes at anytime to maintain good tone– before a gig, practising or competition. And, non-pipers can easily use it to help out with tuning.
Why a Bagpipe Tuner? Highland bagpipes are incredibly hard to tune and unlike standard chromatic instruments, the intervals between each note continue to vary. Bagpipe Tuner correctly displays the scale and takes the guesswork out of using a chromatic tuner.
Bagpipe Tuner compliments the standalone BLAIR tuners and Bluetooth clip.

It’s a good and accurate tuner. I really like the fact that you can pair it with a Bluetooth microphone. However, I would give it five stars if you could manually calibrate it. It tends to learn too quickly and often not to the steady frequency that you need it tuned to, especially when self-calibrating to your own pipes. Please update the app with that capability to make this app top notch.
Perfect app until...

This tuner works excellent. I have no complaints about its accuracy. I have never had a problem with this app up until recently. I now have the iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2 and it's constantly crashing as soon as I open it. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is due to the recent instability. Please do an update for iOS 8 to stop the crashing! I love and rely on this app for daily practice and performances. Thanks!
An amazing app for the money

An amazing app for the money Easy to calibrate You can tune a whole band in no time It’s so easy anyone can use it to tune or learn to tune themselves Overall the best app for the money I just wish it did not use so much battery Other than that - a great app for a Piper or band at any level
Was a great app..
