Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

October 7, 2007 | Planet Waves Tru-Strobe Tuner

For the strobe tuner fan, Planet Waves (D'addario) introduces the new Tru-strobe Tuner. We've had the fortune of using a prototype since the July NAMM show and are really hooked. Street priced in the $125 range, these offer a true strobe function (not simulated), the only one available for under $200. We like the clip-on Seiko STX-1 for live playing, but this is the cat's pajamas for studio or practice.

About the size of a baseball, the tuner's input is a 1/4" jack for electric (no mic), but any acoustic instrument can use a $10 Matrix MPU1 pick-up clipped to the headstock. Those who grew up playing with their high school band director's StroboConn tuner recall the accuracy and immediate feedback strobe tuning offers the player and luthier.

These are expected to be available for sale later this quarter.
