The other issue I have is not something that Peterson said it c. I have used a Yamaha strobe tuner that can keep focus in a room with someone stringing a piano, tuning, machines running, etc. So I can't tune my piano without stopping for the well pump every 10-20 minutes. I live in a house with a well pump, and while my piano is five times louder than the well pump, it gets severely distracted by it to the point that I can't tune with it. 2nd issue: It has some issues tuning in a room with any other noise at all. The good news is that the entire mid range is a lot more accurate with the mic than without. I really have to tune by ear for the last entire octave on the high and low ends without the mic, and it isn't much better with the one. It does well for the price, but here is what I didn't like: The worst issue for me (as a piano tuner) is that this device, even with a great external mic connected, does not have a good 88-key range as it guaranteed. This tuner is fit for the most discerning of players and technicians for sure! Hear the beat or feel it…the power is in your hands. And for those feeling exceptionally adventurous, this tuner can be upgraded to also feature our super flexible Body Beat metronome option, along with both audible AND tactile mode operation.
Finally, future-proof updating and parameter editing is made possible by the tuner’s unobtrusive side-mounted USB jack. Gone are the days of having to carry extra batteries and tripping over power cables during a performance! This tuner is rechargeable via computer bus or outlet power, and its large, circular screen is easily viewed in both the darkest and brightest environmental conditions.įeatures such as Auto Off, easy menu navigation, tripod mounting capability, over 90 of our Sweetened Tunings, tone generation ability via built in speaker, and a headphone output jack round out the package. The Peterson StroboPlus HD (SP-1) is THE premier desktop digital tuner on the market! Equally as comfortable on a tech’s workbench as it is in a player’s guitar case, this tuner, with all of its features, is no exception to Peterson’s reputation for being THE most accurate in the industry - don’t let its demure palm size fool you! Players of both acoustic and electric instruments can rest assured- a built-in electret condenser microphone and ¼” input jack provide excellent connectivity.
