ABSTRACT:
A tuner apparatus10causes a user to designate a musical instrument that is to be tuned and a reference pitch that is a standard upon tuning, by a process at a setting portion110. A pitch detecting portion130detects a pitch of a performed note inputted via a microphone20and input portion120. A target note specifying portion140defines a note name, which is positioned nearest to the performed note in a predetermined temperament (e.g., 12-note equal temperament), as a target note based upon the detected pitch of the performed note and the inputted reference pitch. Then, a calculating portion150calculates a difference between the pitch of the performed note and the pitch of the target note, and a display control portion160causes the display device30to display the calculated difference. Further, the display control portion160converts the target note into a note name written in a score relating to the musical instrument to be tuned by using a transposition parameter relating to the musical instrument to be tuned that is stored in the storage portion100and set by the setting portion110, and causes the display device30to display a staff in which a note corresponding to the note name written in a score is written.
