Best tuner!

by Bob Bonnen from Miami, Florida
December 14, 2011
Music Background: Singer/guitarist
This was an eye opener, I had always used the regular digital tuners with equal temperment. Strobo Flip has presets with various "sweetened" tunings customized for individual instruments and you can r... read more [+]eally hear the difference. Also with the acoustic guitar setting I can capo up 3 or 4 frets without going sharp and having to retune, even when playing with the harmonica. I use the just intonation setting for tuning my harmonicas and for the first time they sound right with the guitar. I also purchased the Strobo Clip for live performances, and this may be all you need if you're just tuning a guitar. If you're in a band you probably want the Strobo Flip though so you can run a line out from the board and everyone can use it. If you have questions call Peterson - they were happy to help me when I called. close [-]

Peterson VS-F StroboFlip

this is the best tuner I have ever used!!!!!!

True Accuracy

by Evan Delaney from South Dakota

Music Background: Studio musician, producer, writer
I've used analog and digital tuners; I've used rack and pedal tuners...Fender, Boss, Korg, etc.; I've used built in software interface tuners and nothing compares to the accuracy I've had with the Pet... read more [+]erson Strobe.

I heard/read that strobe tuners were very accurate but had never had a chance to use one--still I couldn't help but wonder just how much more accurate? I decided to take a chance and purchase a demo model, so as to save a couple chips, and I have to say I'm just incredibly pleased with the Peterson.

I don't write reviews because so much of music, instrumentation, tone, quality, etc., is so subjective it's hard to have anything to say that could possibly be valid without something more substantive. But my Strat has never sounded so perfect! With the multiple temperaments and sweeteners to help perfectly fine tune multiple instruments it's hard to go wrong. The tuner is accurate to 1/1000th of a semitone...good enough for me! More than that is how sensitive and responsive the four octave bands are and how precisely they facilitate tuning and intonation accuracy. The price is indeed ridiculous for this little plastic square--$200??--but at this point in my musical career having a guitar with intonation as perfect as it can be is worth it. close [-]

This Tuner Has It All

by Irene from Matawan, NJ USA

Music Background: Hobbyist
This tuner has it all. I have to admit that the $199 price tag can make you wonder if it's worth it, but I can assure you it is. I tune my acoustic guitar to it, and I could not be happier. For me, it... read more [+] took bit to get used to the strobe, but once I did, I was blown away not only by the accuracy, but the quality of this tuner. You can tune any instrument to this tuner. Thanks again to Trent for the tuner upgrade recommendation. Sweetwater is the best. close [-]

Does what it says it should do. IMO Sometimes it can be a little sensitive. But it works great.
