Best chromatic tuners?
Question:
I really like the Korg AT-120 auto chromatic tuner. It covers 8 octaves, and reads out (on a real meter) plus/minus 50 cents, so it’s also good for tuning pianos, harpsichords, etc. They cost more than the others, but may be worth the money if you have other applications besides simply tuning your guitar. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->I’m looking to buy a good chromatic tuner that will >work equally as well with an electric *and* acoustic >guitar.

I have both a Boss TU-12 and a Seiko ST-909. Both are fully chromatic. Both are fully automatic, but the Seiko also has a manual mode. Both have input/ouputs for electric instruments and both have condenser mikes for acoustic instruments. Both are extremely accurate, very stable, and portable. Both run will run on an internal battery or with an AC adapter. The Boss comes with a really neat and sturdy little carrying case that allows the tuner to be used without removeing from the case. The Seiko had a dial light that makes it very usable under dim light conditions. Both have provsions for other than standard tuning. My favorit is the Seiko … but the boss is also a world class tuner.

I play an electric and an acoustic guitar, and I use the Korg CA-20 chromatic tuner to tune them. It’s very portable and the microphone for acoustics tuning works well. It works like most other tuner, with an LCD display showing the approximate note in the top right corner and a needle which shows you how far sharp or flat you are of that note. Also three LEDs above the display. When the note is perfect, just the central green light is on. You can manually configure the note you’re trying to get or if the guitar’s already tuned roughly right the tuner automatically does that. Simon Reid ICQ#:5791282

I have both a Boss TU-12H and a Seiko ST-909. Both are fuly chromatic and both are excellent tuners. My favorite is the Seiko. I jam with some guys that use the Intelli Tuner [not sure of the spelling]. If I was tuning strictly acoustic I would consider one more seriously than I now do since I own strictly electric guitars. They’re ok .. but I’m not really that up on ‘em. ;o) I wouldn’t trade either of my tuners for a dozen of that kind.

I’ve been using the Intellitouch about three months, and I’m *sold* on it. The Old Guy —–= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =—– http://www.newsfeeds.com – The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! —–== Over 80,000 Newsgroups – 16 Different Servers! =—–

I’m looking to buy a good chromatic tuner that will work equally as well with an electric *and* acoustic guitar. I need something that’s small, portable and with a good built in condenser microphone. I’ve been looking at the Sabine AX2000 contact tuner (looks great for acoustic guitars), the Boss TU-12 and the small Fender LX-12. Anyone have any opinions on what the best chromatic tuner is for electric *and* acoustic guitars?

I’ve got the Boss TU-12 & like it quite a lot. The only better tuner I’ve found for acoustic guitar’s is OnBoard Research’s Intellitouch tuner. — I do not speak for any corporation, organization or government. All opinions expressed are strictly my own.
