Client
The Client is a lifelong musician and entrepreneur who believes anyone can learn to play the ukulele. One of the essential things before you start playing the ukulele is to have it tuned. The Client came to Jelvix with a request to create an online ukulele tuner for every ukulele lover. The tuner through the users' microphone would detect the frequency of the notes played and move the needle accordingly.
-
Business Challenge
Considering that the tool is created for the musicians, Jelvix aimed to provide a sufficient user experience by making the needle transition as smooth as possible and reaching the notes detection's highest possible accuracy. Another challenge was to display the frequencies shown to match the range depicted at the top of the tuner.
-
Solution
We managed to achieve the required tuning accuracy through mathematical algorithms. Jelvix's team experimented quite a bit with the needle transitions and agreed with the Client that the most appropriate solution would be for the needle to appear very smoothly, gradually showing the frequency in the required section once the tuning is on.

Product Overview
Client’s goals
Most online services are tuners by ear, making them not so useful, even though they are easy to develop. Our main goal was to tune the ukulele for pitch-perfect music in seconds and to surpass the competition from the very beginning. Tuners that use sound detection require excellent skills, which only a few people have.
Implementation
The Client provided our team with an idea of creating a free online tuning app for the ukulele. We've conducted an analysis and created a concept of the web application. UI/UX design was developed on the Client's end. Jelvix architects found relevant solutions and chose the web application's technology stack based on the initial requirements. The final version of the web application was released after two months of our in-depth work.
Value Delivered
There is a variety of tuning applications for guitars and other musical instruments. Because of the exceptional sound the ukulele produces, its popularity is now increasing every year. The Jelvix team developed a useful application that can help anyone tune the ukulele easily, no matter at a beginner or pro musician level. Online ukulele tuner is free of charge, which will benefit for many young musicians who are just starting their careers.
Project Results
Our team created the most advanced online ukulele tuner following project requirements and meeting deadlines. The tuner is compatible with any type of ukulele (Soprano, Concert, Tenor, Baritone, and Bass). The Client was delighted with the results. The Jelvix team is very responsive and attentive to details and always ready to make changes when they are needed. Currently, we are continuing our work with the Client on a few similar projects.
