Does this allow you to tune a guitar to C tuning? For instance, I would want the low string to tune down from E to C. Will this tuner show it?

Using the chromatic setting you can tune any string to any note. For example I use it to tune to open E tuning . I was told in an email by the company that the standard tuning setting is pretty much just there as a guide to new users (i.e. these are notes you should tune to). So as long as you know what note to tune strings to in a C tuning you will be fine.

It's a wonderful tuner! Especially for a guitar maker to set up nut and saddle compensation. Clip on tuners don't have this level of real time sensitivity.

Absolutely. I play a 5-string bass and it is the best tuner I have ever used. You can even use it to check the harmonics to see if they need adjusted. It will display any note that you strike fretted or open and some if it is in tune. Also it is the best mute switch I have used. No poping noise when pressing the footswitch. You will love it.

Hi Rosalie, I am not a piano tuning expert, but I believe piano tuning technicians use strobe tuners to get the strings generally in tune. After that, the scale is "tempered" by ear, which very slightly lowers or raises certain strings so that chords will sound "in tune" but are not technically exact. I believe this tuner is one of the best on the market for accurate tuning, i would not guarentee a piano will sound perfect if every string was tuned exactly to this, or any tuner. So, I must say that I can't really say yes or no. I'm sorry. That's as much as I know about it. I highly recommend for guitar, harp or instrument scale that does not require tempering. Good luck!

Hello MJ. I have been asked if I can help with your Q: If you will notice, there are 3 different colored Snark tuners. The Black one is called the 'super tight', the Red one dos say 'all instrument' + guitar. 'Chromatic' and 'Melodic' scales as played on the piano, have a wider assortment of noted within the scale itself. A 'Chromatic' tuner is sensitive to a wider range of notes which will in fact include those from a Guitar and other instruments. I hope this helps some what. You need not worry, the SN2 will work just fine on your guitar because your guitar can play 3 or 4 levels through a 'Chromatic' scale up and down the neck. WDG Hello MJ.

C is the lowest note. The G is higher than the C string. You have the option of doing it differentl.

Hi, Regina! I just tried it out on the tuner, and it does indeed tune down to 432! I didn't see just how far down it will go - guessing you're a Baroque player? If you would like me to check how far down it will tune (415 or 392), let me know. This is a great little tuner, and does all my old one did and more - for about 1/3 the cost!!

I haven't had much luck with a guitar tuner, butI've found a chromatic tuner does work.

The guitar does not have a built in tuner, but there is a tuner that comes with the whole package. It's not built into the guitar. It is as helpful as a built in tuner.

It will show you the exact tuning of what each string is. So you can definitely tune any bass or guitar with this. Most tuners will work that way. This one is simple and easy to use.

I think your talking about the guitar tuner. The tuner did not work for me though. on the good side this is a good guitar.

You can set this tuner to each instrument or leave it on chromatic. Make sure if you set it to an instrument when you turn it off or on push button for a 1 1/2 or 2 second count to go back to same setting, also has a metronome built in to keep you on time If you deside to use it. It has more features in a small package. Make sure you read the instructions as it has buttons on the back as well as the front. It is well worth buying and you will not have to say I wish I had a tuner like Jim or joe because his is better and does more. I love mine. And my father loves his.

Try another tuner. There's a good free phone app -- I think it's called G-strings. If that's not the actual name, then it's the top app when you search guitar tuners. Good luck.

As long as the instrument is equal tempered (based on 12 note chromatic scale), you should be able to tune with this tuner. Sincerely, Kevin - Daybreak Enterprises, Inc.

i have only used it on my electric guitars to this point however, it seems it should work just fine on all tuners. hope that helps.

All tuners I know of are monophonic...they will tune one note. The korg units are not my favorites. They are not really very durable or reliable. The built in mc is pretty lame. The tuners that use vibration seem to work better for most acoustic stringed instruments.

This was a gift for my brother so I asked him - here's his reply: It kind of has a tuner, but the tuner is not compatible with the tuning system that started in 2009. Hope that helps!
