Kostenloses Online-Stimmgerät für Geige

Warum ist es wichtig, die Geige zu stimmen?

Das Stimmen einer Geige ist ein grundlegender Aspekt beim Spielen eines Musikinstruments. Die Beibehaltung einer genauen Tonhöhe verbessert nicht nur die Leistung des einzelnen Geigers, sondern gewährleistet auch ein harmonisches Zusammenspiel im Ensemble. Ein verstimmtes Instrument kann das gesamte Klanggleichgewicht stören und das musikalische Erlebnis sowohl für den Geiger als auch für andere Musiker und das Publikum beeinträchtigen.

Wenn man lernt, wie man seine Geige stimmt, entwickelt man ein Gefühl für die Tonhöhe und schult sein Gehör. Diese Fähigkeit ist auf verschiedene musikalische Kontexte übertragbar und ermöglicht es Geigern, nahtlos mit anderen Musikern zusammenzuarbeiten.

Hier findest Du eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung, wie Du Deine Geige mit unserem kostenlosen Online-Stimmgerät stimmen kannst!

Wie Du unser kostenloses Online-Stimmgerät für Geige verwendest

Die Verwendung eines Online-Stimmgeräts mit Mikrofon zum Stimmen der Geige ist sehr hilfreich. Das Online-Stimmgerät hört die Töne, die Du spielst, und sagt Dir sofort, ob Deine Noten die richtige Tonhöhe haben. Das Online-Stimmgerät zeigt Dir auch Bilder an, anhand derer Du sehen kannst, ob Deine Geige die richtige Tonhöhe hat. Das ist für Geigen-Neulinge sehr hilfreich, weil es das Verstehen und Einstellen der Stimmung erleichtert. Das Beste daran ist, dass Du das Online-Stimmgerät jederzeit und überall benutzen kannst, damit Deine Geige immer in der richtigen Tonhöhe erklingt.

Du fragst Dich, wie Du unser kostenloses Online-Stimmgerät für Geige mit dem Mikrofon Deines Gerätes verwenden kannst? Schauen wir uns das mal an:

Schritt 1: Klicke auf die Schaltfläche "Zulassen" auf dem Stimmgerät oben, damit er auf Dein Desktop-Mikrofon zugreifen kann.

Schritt 2: Wenn Dein Browser Dich um Erlaubnis zur Verwendung des Mikrofons bittet, klicken auf Ja. Dadurch kann das Stimmgerät die Noten, die Du spielst, aufnehmen.

Schritt 3: Spiele die Noten auf Deiner Geige und behalte dabei das Stimmgerät im Auge. Es zeigt an, welche Note Du spielst, und die Farben zeigen Dir an, ob sie zu tief oder zu hoch ist. Nimm die entsprechenden Anpassungen vor.

Let's take the note E as an example:

In Tune: You're in tune when the correct note is displayed, and the pitch indicator is showing a green colour, as close to 0 as possible.

Too low: If the correct note is showing but the colour is orange or red in the negative values, you're too low (flat).

Too high: If the correct note is showing but the colour is orange or red in the positive values, you're too high (sharp).

Make sure the letter on the tuner matches the note you are playing. If not, it could mean your violin needs some further tuning adjustments.

Remember that background noise can affect the accuracy of the tuner, so try to tune your violin in a quiet environment.

Don't worry if tuning feels a bit tricky and takes some time at first. With practice, it will become a speedy and easier thing to do!

How to tune your violin step-by-step 🎻

Tuning a violin is an essential skill for any violinist. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to tune a violin, using our free online violin tuner:

1. Start by playing the A string (the second thinnest string) with your bow

Play the open A string, and adjust the fine tuner (if you have one) until the tuner displays the note "A". We recommend that you play the note with your bow instead of plucking to make the sound more sustained and the tuning process more accurate.

Then you can adjust the pitch until the light indicator on the tuner turns green and remains as close to zero as possible. When it's done: your A string is in tune!

If the colours orange or red point towards the negative values, the pitch on your string is too low (flat): raise it.

If the orange or red colours point toward the right, the pitch on your string is too high (sharp): lower it.

Ensure the displayed letter name matches the string you're playing; discrepancies suggest significant tuning issues that may require peg adjustments.

For instance, attempting to tune the A string but seeing the letter G (or F, or E, etc.) on the screen indicates that the string is too low (flat). Conversely, if you're tuning the A string but seeing the letter B (or C, or D, etc.) on the screen, then the string is too high (sharp). Make precise adjustments using the fine tuners and/or pegs.

2. Tune the D string:

• Play this string and adjust if needed, until the tuner displays the note "D".
• Then you can adjust until the light indicator on the tuner turns green and remains as close to zero as possible. When it's done: your D string is in tune!

3. Tune the G string:

• Adjust the peg for the G string until it matches the pitch indicated on the tuner.

4. Tune the E string:

• Adjust the peg for the E string until it matches the pitch indicated on the tuner.

5. Check and fine-tune:

• Once you've tuned all four strings, play each open string again to double-check their tuning.
• Make small adjustments as needed to fine-tune each string.

💡 Our tips for tuning your violin:

• Turn the pegs slowly, by gently pushing into the scroll at the same time. Carefully avoid tightening the strings too much; the tension will cause the string to break and will then need replacing.
• Be patient, it may take a bit of practice to get the hang of tuning.

How often should I tune my violin?

Tune your violin every time you practise! Violins can be quite sensitive - even a small shift in temperature, humidity, or a gust of wind can throw an instrument out of tune, and it's not your fault.

If you are worried about your violin strings snapping during tuning…

It's a common worry, but not a big issue: consider it a rite of passage! Keep spare strings in your violin case. To avoid string breaks, tune in small increments, check tuning frequently and avoid tuning too high, which adds excessive tension on the strings. Prevent the bridge from collapsing by making adjustments in small increments and monitoring tuning regularly. These precautions minimise the risk of mishaps during the tuning process.

What does Hertz mean?

Simply put, "Hertz" (Hz) measures how many times a sound vibrates in one second. A = 442Hz means the note vibrates 442 times per second.

Historically, musical instruments were tuned at different standard pitches. For instance, Baroque Pitch is A = 415Hz, and in the Classical period it was around A = 428 - 430Hz. A = 432Hz, known as 'Verdi's A', is considered mathematically consistent with the universe, offering softer and brighter tones, said to be clearer and easier on the ears. Today's Concert Pitch is considered to be A = 440Hz.

While it might be better suited for experienced players, you have the option to adjust the Hertz value of our tuner to meet your specific requirements. For beginners, seeking advice from your teacher is highly recommended!
