A tuner designed for orchestral string instruments
The Nexxus 360 was designed around the needs of orchestral string instruments, featuring a piezo sensor that prioritizes reading vibrations rather than ambient sound. The result: tuning remains reliable even in challenging environments (section rehearsals, dressing rooms, stage, or classroom). Its rotatable LED display and extended Hertz range make it a versatile tool to accommodate tuning habits encountered in orchestras.
Intended use and target users
Intended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced violists, the Nexxus 360 is suitable for daily practice (scales, intonation, string adjustments) as well as concert situations where speed matters. Vibration-based tuning is particularly useful for orchestral and chamber music settings, where multiple instruments tune simultaneously. For optimal accuracy on the viola, it is recommended to attach it to a shoulder area using its non-marking clip to capture vibration transmission as closely as possible.
Sound quality
As a piezo sensor tuner, the Nexxus 360 does not alter the sound of your viola: it analyzes the instrument's vibrations to display the pitch accuracy. This direct detection improves reading stability, especially in low and high registers, and helps achieve finer tuning when the room is noisy or reverberant. The 415 to 465 Hz range allows adapting the reference pitch according to the context (personal practice, ensemble, Baroque or modern tuning).
