Peterson StroboClip HD Clip-On Tuner | Guitar, Bass, Violin, Ukulele, Harp, Brass, Woodwind, Orchestral

Remember when owning a Peterson Strobe was the mark of a pro technician? Before the Boss TU's and onwards to the ubiquitours sharks and Shark knock offs? I do. And we learned to tune by ear, that's all there was but we also knew there was a big advantage to the speed, silence and knowledge that especially if we were all using Bosses, that we'd be in tune to each other so we bought them and we bought them all, the TU,s the Korg DT's that put a light show in our racks. However if we were serious about accuracy we went back to the perterson on the bench. Now it's a brand new wolrd of cheap and accurate tuners.I've been through about 3 sharks and the D-addaario compact. The Sharks break and eat batteries. I find the Daddario to be futzy to tune. Neither are sunlight readable AT ALL and two of the main places I play are on the porch and on my boat so I needed an alternative.I've always trust Peterson and they claimed sunlight readability so I splashed out for the Strobo-clip.I'm abolutely having a why didn't I just do this from the beginning moment. It's sunlight readable, not sort of but simply is. Batteries seem to be lasting and maybe because I have more experience with petersons than I do needle or pretend needle tuners, I find it very easy to come right up to the tuning without overshooting and having to start over. It takes a little practice but there's a lot of information in watching the partials as well as the top fundamental ring.A lot of people call this complicated. It does a lot. It tunes just about everything and has several modes but keep this in mind: You push a button that looks like every other power button on the planet and you make a noise at it and it works exactly the way 90 percent of us use our tuners 90 percent of the time. You have to choose to explore the other modes and options or NEED to because you want to find the mandolin or violin setting but if you know that the first string on the cello is A or on the mando an E, you don't strictly have to find any settings tune to either an E on A as the case may be and get on with it. When you want or need a different setting you'll look it up and after you've done it a few times you'll remember the button pushes to get there. Another thing you get from Peterson, is real support from the people who make them and sell them.
