What if your violin never went out of tune?

After years of helping players fight tuning frustrations, we built something that changes everything.

  • No more fine tuners.
  • No more slipping pegs.
  • No more “Give me a second, I just need to tune…”

Using advanced micro-sensor technology and precision motorized pegs, the Self-Tuning Violin continuously monitors pitch and makes real-time adjustments, so your instrument stays perfectly in tune at all times. Yes… even during your performance.

How It Works

Inside each peg is a miniature, ultra-quiet motor connected to a high-precision pitch detection system. The violin constantly listens to itself and adjusts each string automatically, down to fractions of a cent. Whether you’re playing long sustained notes or aggressive fiddle passages, the system keeps your pitch exactly where it belongs.

Key Features

  • Real-Time Pitch Correction: Detects even the smallest pitch drift and corrects it instantly, before anyone notices.
  • Auto-Tune Mode: Switch between standard tuning (G-D-A-E) or custom tunings like cross-tuning with a single tap.
  • Silent Adjustment Technology: Whisper-quiet motors ensure no mechanical noise interferes with your sound.
  • Companion App Integration: Adjust sensitivity, fine-tune settings, and track your “intonation improvement score” over time.
Who Is It For?

Beginners who struggle with tuning, intermediate players tired of constant adjustments, professionals who want absolute pitch stability on stage, and orchestra players who are done waiting for the oboe.

Early Feedback

“For the first time, I could focus entirely on my playing—not my tuning.”
— Advanced student

“It removed one of the biggest distractions during rehearsal.”
— Orchestra member

“I didn’t realize how much mental energy tuning was taking until it was gone.”
— Adult learner

Important Note

While the Self-Tuning Violin keeps your instrument perfectly in tune, it does not:

  • Fix left-hand intonation
  • Replace practice
  • Improve rhythm
  • Or make your shifts magically accurate (We’re still working on that version.)

Availability: The Fiddlershop Self-Tuning Violin™ will be available starting… today, April 1st

Happy April Fools!

But admit it… you kind of wish this were real.
