wE ALL LOVE IT IN OUR CHOIR

2005-04-19
I`ve never been very good to put in tone my guitar. I had an electronic tuner but the problem was that everything had to be in silence so I could tune it. With the inteltouch we have no more problems, because in the midle of the presentation one can tune the guitarr because it is with vibration. We just love it. Yes, it is expensive, but for people like me it`s just the perfect buy.

Tuning For Dummies

2005-02-11

I bought this as a beginning violin student a few years ago. I got tired of waiting until my lessons for my instructor to tune my violin. You simply attach it anywhere on the instrument and pluck the strings. The number of arrows on the left and right of the display tell you if the string is flat or sharp. Your goal is to get a readout of 3 arrows on each side. Too few on the left? It's sharp. Loosen peg. Too few on the right? It's flat. Tighten peg. Tune and pluck, tune and pluck...bingo! Everyone I've shown it to wants one. It's a little expensive, but if you want a fast and easy way to tune, this is for you.

Just what I needed

I have looked for a tuner like this for a long time. It is fast, easy to operate, lite, and fits in any pocket. It is rare to find a better than advertised product.

Nice little tuner

Very unique. I like how it picks up on vibrations. My biggest complaint is that the arrow system used is rather confusing at first and it is difficult to tell how accurate it actually is. Other than that, it picks up the vibrations very well, the backlight is great, and it is super easy to use once you realize how the arrows work. A tad pricey though.

Nifty little gadget!

Just received one of these as a gift. Very impressed!

The tuner clamps quickly and easily onto the headstock of your instrument. The articulated mount allows you to easily maneuver the display for easy viewing. Pluck a string, and the readout shows you the closest note - and uses a simple system of arrows to show you if you're spot on or just close. Comes with a nice little protective sleeve and fits easily into the accessory box of most instrument cases.

Caution: the instructions that come with the tuner are poorly written and needlessly confusing. Suggestion: unless you need to tune off-pitch for some reason, simply do the self-test as described, just to make sure it's working properly, then clamp on, set it for the A440 mode and tune away. Takes only moments, the tune is highly accurate.

very simple and useful tuner

I have used this tuner for several years and have much appreciated its simplicity. With previous electric tuners, I found it very difficult to tune in a crowded or noisy environment. The microphone would pick up other noises and would be confused.

This tuner, though, clips onto the guitar (or fiddle or mandolin or whatever) and picks up vibrations through the wood. Thus, surrounding noises don't interfere with tuning.

Other nice features of the tuner are that it is quite compact, the battery seems to last a long time (I haven't changed it in two years of use), and the little clip swivels so you can see the LCD display from various angles.

On the whole, I have been quite happy with this little tuner.

Nifty little device

I am not much of a musician. I bought this to tune my kid's guitar between lessons. It works. It is very easy to use, and the teacher said I did a great job tuning the guitar.
