Best Answer

You can use a pitch pipe to get the right notes. But the tuning and order of the strings is different. For a guitar it is E A D G B E. For a violin it is G D A E. You could tune the guitar's A string using the violin tuner and then tune the rest from the A. Could be there's an octave's difference, though.

Sure, provided the guitar tuner is chromatic, and you know what notes and intervals to tune the violin in (usually fifths, unlike Guitars, which are tuned in fourths).

It depends upon the tuner as to what notes it can cover. If the tuner can cover the notes you want, certainly!
