Can this tuner tune a viola?

My expertise is lacking, and yet after watching my son use the tuner I have no doubt you can.

give it a try at a music store. It's the best i have used and I have used many. very compact.

Matter of fact it can....just took out my Viola yesterday and tuned it up using the Snark. Clipped it on the pegs

Don't know why you couldn't, the tuner just picks up the tone you play and displays what note it is and how close you are.

Yes it can. Actually That's how it was designed to work. Just clamp it to the headstock, turn it on and tune. I'm a bass player and that's how I tune.

There's a Chromatic Tuning option, so as long as you know the pitch (note name) of the string you're playing and see that it corresponds correctly with the note on the screen of the tuner, then you're doing it right.

It should work fine with any instrument you can clamp it onto. I has a chromatic tuner setting that I have used for Bass, Guitar and Uke and it will tell you what pitch it receives and when it is exactly on that note.

I haven't had much luck with a guitar tuner, butI've found a chromatic tuner does work.

Not sure but probably. I use mine some for violin but mostly I use a guitar tuner.

I am an oboe player, and use the tuner for adjusting reeds and for tuning a symphony orchestra. I often will hum a 440 A into the tuner, before blowing the A on my oboe. Oboists have to have very accurate pitch memory, at least for the A. Yes, it responds well to voice.

To be honest, I do not believe that this practice mute will work for a viola. The difference is the size of the bridge for the two instruments. Good luck finding one.

I've used it on the traditional E, A, D, and G strings of a bass, but I must say, I've never tried to tune that low B with this tuner.

Without knowing the size of a Viola Bass, it is difficult to answer your question, however I can tell you that in between the neck guides measures 2 3/4 inches, and the neck guides are 25 1/2 inches above base of stand....so if instrument measures more than that at neck, it probably will not fit.

Very sorry that I can not help you. I am trying to learn to play the guitar. I have no knowledge of tuners. I saw the Snark advertised in the net and bought It at a venture.

The tuner is chromatic, which means it tunes all notes including sharps and flats, and it is a clip-on that responds to vibrations in the instrument. Any instrument you can clip it to, it will tune. Very low frequencies as in a bass guitar will not register as well, but banjo, ukellele, violin, etc. will tune fine. Even horns and woodwinds should work.

Yes, but it probably won't be in tune because new strings stretch for quite a while. Go to someone who knows how to tune it. If you tighten the strings too tight, they will snap, like a 100 lb fish on 5 lb test line.

Yes any tuner can tune any guitar and bass. I recommend snark it is cheaper and better.

Yes. I've used it tune a couple of pianos, my violin, and my guitar. It works great. But don't forget to push the buttons and make sure it is calibrated to 440 Hz (I made that mistake). I also bought the microphone. I think it helps to screen out background noise.

snark tuners work with any guitar. it doesn't matter if it is acoustic, classical or electric and you do not need an amp. clamp tuners get the vibrations of the strings and show you what note are playing as 1e 2b 3g 4d 5a and 6e
