Mandola tuner
A free mandola tuner in your phone's browser: C G D A in pairs like a viola, or the octave mandola's G D A E, with a needle and the cents. Nothing uploaded.
C or G on the lowest pair says which mandola it is. Mika checks that before anything else.The microphone closes when you stop, when all is in tune, or after half a minute of quiet. Nothing is recorded.
C3✓
Tap start. Play the C pair and let it ring. Without the microphone, tap a note above to hear it.

Mandola tuning: string by string
Mandola tuning, Mandola (C G D A): C3 G3 D4 A4. The mandola is to the mandolin what the viola is to the violin: C G D A, a fifth lower, four pairs tuned in unison. The octave mandola sits a whole octave under the mandolin, G D A E; both are on the switch.
The names cross borders badly. In the US "mandola" is the C G D A instrument; in Ireland and Britain the same thing is a "tenor mandola", and "octave mandola" means the G D A E one, which Americans call an octave mandolin; in Italy a "mandola" is usually the G D A E. Check the lowest pair: C or G tells you which you hold.
The notes you tuned go into Brumm as a short melody over a beat.
Audio: your microphone, on only after you tap. The sound is analysed in this tab and never sent. Nothing about the audio reaches the visit count.
