Need Peterson Tuners Reviews
What is the general "best" Peterson for all around tuning (especially
guitars)? I'm a paraplegic so foot capabilities are not a big plusses for me. Hardware only. -- Thanks, Ricky Hunt |

Hardware only. -- Thanks, Ricky Hunt Are you looking for an actual strobe tuner (with the spinning disk) of one of the Peterson Virtual Strobes? The virtual ones don't show the harmonics the way a real strobe does but they sure are convenient. |

Probably the virtual but which would you recommend of both kinds (though I'm sure the price difference is substantial). |

I have used the Peterson software strobotuner, a Korg analog-needle tuner, and more recently an Intellitouch PT-1 tuner. The latter is designed for stringed instruments, and I am not sure how it would deal with other situations, but I can say that its ease and speed of use and the precision of tuning I achieve (plus/minus 1 cent) make it a first choice, and it requires no hands on once the on button is pushed. One great feature for me is that it picks up the vibrations of the headstock, rather than using a microphone, allowing tuning even in very noisy settings. Good luck! David |

The virtual one is basically pointless, and misses the ability to see overtones that makes the original Conn Strobotuner so wonderful. Get the regular one. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." I had an older model (420?) for over twenty years, and loved it. Then I sold it and "upgraded" to a 490ST. I didn't really like that at all. While it was accurate, it was noisy and I didn't like the red color of the strobe. So I sold it, and bought the second model of the virtual strobe, to use when traveling. Scott is correct that it is not nearly as good as the older real strobes, but it is silent and works well enough for my purposes. I may end up buying an older strobe, and then I will end up where I started, minus a few bucks |

Onboard Research, the folks who make the Intelltiouch O-1 and P-2 tuners, also make the Center-Pitch, which works on the same principle but has a clamp that fits easily on a wide range of instruments, including brass, woodwinds, strings, etc. It also works fine on guitars, banjos, mandolins, and so forth. -- ha Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam |
