A chromatic tuner is one which can tune any note (C,C#,D,D# etc.). This makes it useful if you want to tune guitar strings to a different pitch or just simply want to tune a particular note on an instrument.

∙ 14y agoYes, if it is designed with a chromatic scale. Some eastern instruments may not use the standard chromatic scale.
And sometimes pianos are tuned differently. With an equal tempered scale, you can tune the middle of a piano with a chromatic tuner, but adjustments have to be made at the extreme ends to make it sound right. This is called stretching the octaves and is necessary because the partials are out of tune with the fundamentals. The shorter the strings, the more adjustment is needed.

How do you use a tuner for a guitar?
If your using an electric tuner, Plug in your guitar cable into your guitar and the other end into a hole on the side of the tuner (It should usually say IN on it, Out is used for something else) Make sure all your guitars volume knobs are turned all the way up... Turn the tuner on and your tuner should have Manual or auto tuning, I usually use auto because it finds the right sting... Pluck the sting you want to tune and there should be a little meter or something and a letter.. say your letter is A, make sure the little meter points to A and the little light is green.. that means its in tune...Its really simple.. I hope i helped
