I bought the StroboClip HD tuner. Start with a straight neck, check the frets with rocker, and then set your intonation with the StroboClip. The results are right on the money. I checked the tuning afterwards using my Korg Pitchblack Kustom pedal tuner and it didnt even strobe. It appeared that the tuning was right on. The only problem with the Korg and most other tuners is that even if it appears in tune, there is that little space where it can be close one way or another and still requires adjustment based on what you hear. The StrobClip is a great product and comes with a 2 year warranty. I'd buy it again if I had too.

Something I've only just realised about the StroboClip. The apparent direction of movement of the wheel tells you which direction to turn the tuning key! If the pattern seems to turn clockwise (sharp) then you turn the key clockwise to flatten the string. And of course, the opposite is true if it's flat (counter/anti clockwise).

Oh yes! That’s absolutely correct!

I agree 100% with your comments. The Peterson StroboClip HD is the best tuner I've ever owned, too. As a mandolin player, I've always had a bit of love-hate (or hate-hate) relationship with tuners. Most are made primarily for guitar (fair enough) and some just don't work properly with mandolins - even if they have mandolin/violin preset. I've got a couple of Snark tuners and a few mandolins, but my favourite for gigs is a Godin A8 mandolin. However, for this particular mandolin, my Snarks were telling me that the intonation is out from about the 8th fret (even though it sounded OK to me). The A8 doesn't have a floating bridge, so I was looking to take it my local tech guy to get it adjusted, but decided to buy a better tuner to confirm that there really is a problem. So I bought the Peterson. With some trepidation, I tried it on my Godin and tuned the open strings. Then jumped to the 12th fret. All the strings were perfectly in tune! Tried the 10th fret - all in tune. Then went up and down the fingerboard up to the 15th. All strings on all frets perfectly in tune (and the Peterson is the only tuner I've had that can actually lock onto the 15th fret of the E string). Tried it on my favourite practice mandolin (a Fender that I'd intonated myself). All the notes perfectly in tune. Tried the Mandolin sweetener - I couldn't hear any difference when tuning, but I think the chords sound nicer so I'm sticking with it. I'm not going to buy any more Snarks. I won't throw them away, though, because I think they're slightly easier to use for the first tuning after a string change, but I do ask myself why I bought so many in the past... My recommendation: if you're a mandolin player - buy a Peterson StroboClip! Best tuner I've ever owned.

I call them Shart tuners.... They are arguably more expensive than the Petersons. Total cost of ownership, factored for time. Get a Peterson it's likely to last a LONG time, maybe even the last tuner you buy. Every Shart tuner needs to add the cost of the inevitable replacement you'll be buying too soon. Not joking, because of the different failure rates and longevity of the products, the Petersons get cheaper with time, the Snarks get more expensive over time. Considering total cost of ownership over time, I wouldn't be surprised if these aren't actually cheaper than a Snark.

You're a goofball and I mean than in a good way, not a mean way. But seriously .... I'm looking for a more accurate tuner and this may be the one for me. Unfortunately I could end up buying a few of them which could become costly but I'll get just one to start with. On the subject of Snarks, I've been using my snarks for quite a while. What I like about them is that the display head can rotate 360 degrees and for me, being a left-handled player, this means I don;t have to read the display upside down. Hopefully the Peterson clip on can be as acrobatic. Also, the only time my Snark stopped working is when one of the the plastic clip tabs decides to break and there's nothing to hold the tuner onto the stem. They seem to have solved that problem with a recent design change. Hopefully the Peterson clip on is resilient.

Here is how I am seeing it... it's a few bucks more, but this is end all be all king daddy of clip tuners. More features, more accurate, better made.... My weird quandary now is that the HD can be had for like $52 right now... and the HDC is $80. Is it worth $30 to get the HDC? The HD was the best clip tuner until the HDC came out meaning that Peterson's only competition is... Peterson. I'm getting one or the other, and Peterson should feel pretty good that my only real debate is between two versions of their product. I haven't owned a Snark, but have known a few that have. Why don't I own one? I have known a few that did is why. If it was $20, you paid $30 too much. My previous and now lost clip tuner (that I am looking to replace) was an old Korg SHPro Sledgehammer. Also very accurate, and also strobe. Quite good. There are other good clip tuners out there (not Snark) But all my research puts Peterson on top. Leaving the only remaining question, HD or HDC for $30 more?
@TheRecordist6 ай бұрын
Hey! I know EXACTLY what you mean! I love Peterson and they know it! As far as the differences, what I can gather is two major upgrades: multi color choices and rechargeable battery on the HDC. I don’t know if it matters to you to have a red screen or a blue one, or orange or yellow or whatever color you want. But if the orange color that comes with the original HD is less attractive to you, then the HDC might be the way to go. Also, the rechargeable battery. With the original HD, it takes a lithium button battery which I still have yet to change well past a year of constant use. But the HDC has a rechargeable battery that gets 6 hours of use per charge. If you play live, I’d think about charging it before every show. If it were me, I’d stick with the original HD because I like that I can easily swap out the battery when needed. It’s also cheaper. But maybe you want those two upgraded options. That’s up to you! Other than that, each one’s firmware is updatable (HD through a micro USB and HDC through USB-C), and you can download new tunings from the community. Hope this helps!

Just curious to know, as a beginner, if we get the intonation of a guitar set up right, and play for a while, how long should it stay in tune for? Ambient temperature will be a factor, so in an uncontrolled temperature environment this will fluctuate throughout the day, and obviously also with artificial heating or cooling switching on + off. But even in a well controlled ambient temperature environment, heat given out by the person and their hands working out on it, will still warm up the guitar a degree or two, depending on how energetic their playing is. Also, playing stuff where strings are bent may put strings out of tune, or using a tremolo arm? Like wise, playing on a stage indoors, where perhaps peoples activity + body heat, which will vary a bit between small and larger venues, and perhaps stage lighting, or outdoors where air temperature may fluctuate with changing cloud cover, are also going to be factors? So according to a fairly accurate tuner... how soon will i go out of tune? Realistically, i could need to retune every few minutes of playing, or every song / piece of music?
@TheRecordist9 ай бұрын
Hey Richard. Well you’re right about all the factors you submitted. But intonation and tune are two different things. Intonation is the length of the string from nut to bridge. Tune is the tension. So after proper intonation, when tuned, all the strings resonate with each other precisely. The tune will hold for as long as the quality of your instrument will allow. It will need to be retuned regularly (playing live will be as needed, recording will be every take). Intonation slips over time. I generally reset my intonation every couple of months. I can always tell because when I have my guitar tuned properly but it still sounds a bit out, that’s when I need to redo the intonation. Hope this helps!

I would have but now I’m deaf since you’re screaming so loud. Haha. Honestly, it tunes. Very hard to focus the camera on it when I’m doing the filming and the tuning at the same time. I’ve got another Peterson Strobe tuner video coming in the next few weeks, so I’ll be sure to spend extra time showing it from an out of tune state. Thanks for watching!

@The Time Preservation Society cool, thanks for responding. I was thinking of getting one of these but I wasn't sure. It seems it may be hard to tune if it wasn't close anyways is why I wanted to see that. I appreciate the video, very nice videos! Keep making content plz!♡

@@nightmareaccomplice5816 hey no worries! I’ll keep trying to pump out the vids! The StroboStomp HD is a really nice clip-on tuner and it’s very easy to see from even the tip of your headstock. You can even see it in daylight. It’s a marvelous reinvention of the Snark, but miles better and so much more accurate. I’m going to be checking out another Peterson Strobe tuner soon. I expect it’ll also blow me away. Peterson Strobes are the highest end, and they’re so worth it. Cheers!

That’s right. A strobe tuner is in fact a strobe tuner.

FECK OFF! YOU'RE A BOSTON BEARS FAN!?!? Oh bruv... That's it. You just became the coolest fucking person I've ever found on KZfaq! My girlfriend is TOTALLY going to believe all of this.... BUT I CAN'T! So how the fuck does that work?? Anyway, let's all thank the hockey gods for granting us Jim Montgomery and even tho the Caps won the first game back from the All-Star break last night at TD, we shall move on with our heads held high knowing that the cup is already ours.

Haha. You taking about Boston Bruins? Nah. I’m not that cool. I just am not a sports guy but the only sport I will watch is hockey. And with hockey, I cheer for any Canadian team left. That’s how it goes. My earlier videos I used both Canadian and US pricing when talking about prices (which I used Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins logos. But I realized quickly that the ratio of US:Canada viewers was skewed in favor of the US, so I dropped the Canadian pricing. The original idea was to pick each a US and Canadian original lineup team and use that. Haha. Sorry.

And fuck that shit I'm not paying $60 for a clip on tuner lol But it does seem pretty cool.

Haha. That’s what I said. But I really love it. It’s pretty cool. Mostly I wanted a cheap way of precisely setting my intonation. It’s the cheapest reliable strobe I could find. So there’s that.
