Does this tuner work just fine when trying to calibrate dropped tuning for certain chords? Like drop c etc?

Haven't tried it but would expect it to. It also has a function that transposes from one to four flat levels.

It has a tuner on it, which will show which note is being played (and if it is flat or sharp). But nothing I know of will show what chord is being played.

Yes it does. It really seems to work best with at least 3 note chords so it can tell major / minor and 7th though. I tried plinking on just the root note ( I can't really play keys) and it had a hard time following. But chords work fine.

Hello, I have used the tuner and it works pretty good. There is no display and you must just tune with the up and down button on the end of the sound bar. The unit has an average sound.

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.

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.

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!

There's a Chromatic Tuning option, so as long as you know the pitch (note name) of the string you're playing and see that it corresponds correctly with the note on the screen of the tuner, then you're doing it right.

Yes! it works perfectly with a 12 string as well. It still detects the pitches for the 3rd thru 6th strings even though they are an octave apart.I highly recommend it.

Bruce, this tuner is supposed to be +/- 1 cent on accuracy. I do know these tuners have brought out a better sound on my guitars vs an older stand alone chromatic tuner that I was using because of placement variation. For the price I don't think you can beat them.

Yes. The in-line tuner is really great for practice and live application. It is very visible and works for all tunings. I bounce back and forth from open tunings of diff types in loud settings. Ideal for live. Love the system. Really easy. And you can click into the tuning mode with your foot, tune the guitar, then click back to being live with the effects. Really practical and very simple. The tuning meter is color-coded with little blocks that go from red to yellow to green. Green, of course, is dead on. Always accurate as well. I use harmonicas, which are the ultimate test.

It should work fine with any instrument you can clamp it onto. I has a chromatic tuner setting that I have used for Bass, Guitar and Uke and it will tell you what pitch it receives and when it is exactly on that note.

If I attach it to the very bottom of the scroll on either of my 4/4s, the "high" arrow is sometimes obscured by the D peghead, otherwise it works just fine. I have used it with my 5-string banjo, mandolin and many guitars. Other than its questionable ability to "hear" the lowest notes and giving false note assignments (ubiquitous in every quartz tuner) it works as well, if not better, than any of the 7 tuners I have ever used.

As long as you have the tuner calibration set correctly it should tune any instrument. The calibration default is 440 which is standard for just about all stringed instruments. I use it to tune a banjo at 440 and a bagpipe at 475+ and it works great. It is one of the best tuners that I have ever use and being a chromatic tuner makes it very versatile.

Though I have not checked it on an oscilloscope, it seems to be in tune with other A440 instruments. It would be utterly bizarre to produce a tuning device that is not the A440 standard unless it were designed to give variable tuning to be used in historical performances (A415, A465, etc.).

Sorry to be a bit late on this. But I think mine did. It's been a while.The program that comes with the pedal works well. It's a very common chord so I'd have no reservation about getting the pedal based on its availability.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.
