I highly recommend TC Electronic for clip-on tuner, or Sonic Research or Peterson for pedal tuners.

- nosioptar 7mo agoIn my experience, electronic tuners suck at accurately detecting the note played.They often pick up harmonics as the note. The low b on my 5 string bass is often identified as an f by electric tuners. They also just aren't very accurate when they do detect the right note. I've never used a tuner where my cello is actually in tune when it says it is, always requires tweaking.
- locusofself 7mo agoInnacarute, jumpy, slow response. The most popular tuner of all time is the BOSS pedal, and the LED lights are too far part from eachother, it's simply not granular enough to really get in tune to my ears. Stroboscopic tuners are the way to go
- Humphrey 7mo agoI love my TC Electronic clip on tuner!
- locusofself 7mo agoFor $49 it's very, very good
- bob1029 7mo agoThe oboe playing a concert A is a pretty good one too.
- locusofself 7mo agoThere is something magical about hearing an orchestra all tune up to eachother
- dsego 7mo agoI use a Peterson strobe tuner on my smartphone, it's really good. I've also coded my own strobe tuner to learn more, unfortunately no mobile version yet. https://github.com/dsego/strobe-tuner https://github.com/dsego/strobe-tuner
- lenwood 7mo agoAgree that most leave something to be desired. TC Electronic polytune is great and I also use the pedal to mute my signal. I'm surprised to say this, but my favorite tuner is the one in the L6 Helix.
