Economy Violin Pitch Pipe

A pitch pipe is one of the methods you can use to tune your violin. A pitch pipe has reeds that are tuned to the notes E A D G, one for each open string on the violin. The economy plastic pitch pipe featured here is great for any player.

Is it easy to tune with a pitch pipe?
Simply blow into the pipe to hear the tone, and then tune the corresponding string on the violin to match the note. With a bit of practice, most players are able to tune an instrument to the reference pitch. If you are a beginner, this process can be difficult. Even advanced players sometimes have trouble tuning by ear. If you have trouble distinguishing tones you may want to try an electronic tuner.

The economy pitch pipe is also available with notes A D G C, all four open strings on the viola and cello.
