How Can I Get in Tune?

2/14/2018

0 Comments

 
As a beginning player you can find out very quickly one of the most important things is one of the hardest things to do.  Tuning your instrument!  When I first started I had a pitch pipe.  The biggest problem with that is that as a beginner our ears aren’t usually developed enough to match the pitch.  As I got a little older electronic tuners started to become more affordable but I still paid over $100.00 for a very basic tuner. Today you can get a much more accurate and flexible tuner for a fraction of the price.
​
Here are some types of tuners and their advantages.
The Clip on Tuner

I love these things!  I keep one in every room that I play in as well as my guitar case.  The low cost and ease of use make these a favorite of mine.  Just clip it on the headstock of your guitar, turn it on and go.  (Pictured is the Tune Tech TT-5) ​
​The Pedal Tuner

​Some people find the pedal tuner is a must especially if they are using other effects.  It is can just go into your pedal chain on your pedalboard.  One big advantage is that when turning it on you can mute your sound.  Most of these types of tuners have a bright display which is very useful on a dark stage. (Pictured is the Modtone Pedal Tuner MT-PT1)

​Built in Tuner

​Some acoustic instruments have built in tuners.  This type of tuner is great if you aren’t using any pedals.  It is built into your instrument so it is always there!

What is the best type of tuner?  
To me it really depends on the application.  If I’m sitting at home you can bet I have a clip on tuner on my headstock and if I’m out playing with a band I have a pedal tuner on my board.
