After this there are clip-on tuners which get a much better signal by being clipped onto the headstock. I haven't looked at many, but I get the impression they're all standard tuning only. There are small tuners with microphones, my first one was one of those and it's hard for them to get a good fix (plus you have the problem of trying to hold it in the right place, hit the string and tune, obviously you don't need to be able to hit the string and tune at the same time, but it helps).

(- shame the free string offer is only for US residents :( ) Guitar Tools for $9įor the original poster, first there are chromatic tuners (all 12 notes, or 15 if you listen to noteboat.) and standard tuners (EADGBE only) I'm not sure why they make the later at all, can't be much easier to make.You really do want chromatic if you ever want to try alternate tunings (and I think they're a bit easier to use as you get a better sense of where the next note is if starting from a long way out). If i ever get an iPhone then, Peterson do have a Strobe Tuner App called iStrobeSoft and a PC/MAC version too ( phone version is $10 and the Desktop one $50)Īlthough.d'addaro/Planet Waves have a guitar app with a stroboscopic tuner, + metronome, +chord library, + other bits too!

You can get it of the shelf at the larger Tescos in the UK too! It has built in mic, it will take a direct feed from an electric, or it comes with a clip on mic that you can attach to the headstock. The one that i'm most happy with at the moment is a Rockburn BC850, no metronome, but the tuner is fast the needle responds when you pluck not 2-3 seconds later. The tuner was too slow and the metronome sounded horrible with no way to turn off the 1st beats emphasis.

Second, cant remember the make, did Chromatic, Guitar, Bass and Violin, with flat and double flat settings. First was a Seiko Key fob one - which was ok - but not very clear when you we getting close to the pitch.
