Rembetika

About

Rembetika is a professional tuner crafted for the traditional instruments of Rebetiko — the soulful urban music of Greek and Anatolian port cities. Whether you play bouzouki on a taverna stage, a baglamas at home, or an oud in a classical ensemble, Rembetika brings you accurate, cent-level pitch detection with the aesthetic and musical vocabulary these instruments deserve.

The microphone is used only for pitch detection and only while the tuner is active.
