Planet Waves Tru-Strobe Tuner Review

This is a great strobe tuner. I really expected a plastic meter for the price I payed but I was pleasently surprised when I opened the box. It was "heavy metal." The thing weighs what seems like a couple of pounds and works great. Thanks loads.

The Tru-Strobe Tuner is an extremely accurate pitch measurement device, perfect for settling intonation, recording and live performances where being in tune is of the utmost importance. The tuner's heavy-duty construction includes a built-in microphone and input jacks for tuning acoustic, as well as electronic instruments. The slightest difference between input frequency and the ideal frequency accumulates over time, and appears as movement on the circular LED interface. Once the movement stops, you are perfectly in tune.•Accurate to +/- .1 cent•Features true strobe tuning(not a simulation)

Planet Waves Full-Function Tuner and Metronome Review

Planet Waves Full-Function Tuner and Metronome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a drummer, and this metronome does everything my other metronome doesn't do. There's little information about the metronome aspect of the product, so I will fill you in with the details :)
1. The tempo can range from 20 - 250 beats per minute.
2. You can select ANY subdivision you want from 1 to 32. If you want a beat to be subdivided into 7...no problem! 9? 15? 19? no problem. I was looking for this feature EVERYWHERE.
3. Volume control can get very low and soft...and the volume can also be controlled to be very loud! There's also an output to headphones.
4. Different meters: the metronome will allow you to accent a meter every 1 to 9 beats. If you want, you can also do time signatures that break the beat into multiple pulses like 2:3 (1,2,1,2,3, etc), 3:2 (1,2,3,1,2, etc), 4:3, 4:5, 5:6, 6:7 etc.
Overall, the metronome is best for a drummer who is working on odd meters and weird subdivisions. The only thing I haven't figured out, is how to get the metronome to play swung beats...then again, I can just stick to subdividing the beat into 3 or 4 :)

Seiko SAT1100 Chromatic Tuner Review

Seiko SAT1100 Chromatic Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I started measuring the cent deviations of certain musical notes, I first used the KORG OT-120 tuner.
After a while I noticed, that OT-120 diplays a too large cent deviation if the pitch is not exactly at the
center of the scale. Then I ordered a second OT-120, and that unit had the same reading errors.
Quickly I returned the second KORG OT-120 to the seller, the first unit is out of warranty already.
Fortunately I found that SEIKO model SAT1100 tuner.
The Seiko has a better microphone response, furthermore it has a much a better input filtering than the KORG OT-120.
Higly dynamic guitar string picking does not cause erratic needle movements and the reading is quicker to take.
Tuning to 1 cent accuracy is conveniently achieved.
The SEIKO SAT1100 does only offer equal temperament tuning. For other temperaments you must have the tuning pitch tables available. Since the needle pointer is very stable, tuning off scale pitches is as easy as it can be.
Other SEIKO tuners, eg. the SAT800 display the cents tuning deviation as digital needle pointer and additionally they display the value in digital numbers in steps of 1 cent. The analog needle of the SAT1100 allows for finer resolution,
watching small changes as they occur, while the LCD types jump from cent to cent but are easier to read.
The only negative comment I give is about the design of the SAT1100 case and cover and the lack of a good table stand.

The treading that connects the head to the handle striped rather quickly. A little J-B Weld fixed that. Other than that it's a solid tool.
