I need an instrument tuner ( free, no trial )for PC. I heven't found one with search engines. Whether they are only online checking or there were trials. I'm quite sure I have seen one in past. But where?

Only free one I know of is for Linux. gna.org

My piano technician has a Yamaha PT-100, very cool gadget.

I was looking for a tuner only last week!

Try MiniTuner Version 1.4

Nice display, custom guitar tunings, chromatic mode is useful for any instrument.

This is the first post where I have helped someone else!!

Cool beans, Charlie!

I don't know if a standard chromatic tuner that's intended primarily for guitar would be any help, but it has adjustable range (so it won't be JUST for guitar) and is the most accurate VST tuner I've used yet:

Scroll down for GTune.

Seems to work, Charlie. Many thanks!

28 Dollars for a tuner? No! Much too expensive! I'm only interested in free ones.

If you're just tuning a guitar, all you need is an A440 fork. The scene changes if you need to tune horns and woodwinds, and if you're tuning pianos there are complexities to the temperament that you either do by ear or else you need very expensive electronic tuners.

I love this chart:

c_tuner, although i prefer gtuner

Another vote for C_Tuner.
I have paid tuners but use this one the most.

I haven't tried C_Tuner, to be honest! But GTune is r0x0rZ.

Thank you! Thank you! CTuner makes it! Exactly what I was looking for!
