What are folks using for tuning instruments? I need something with more
accuracy than the general guitar/chromatic tuners. I've been looking at the
Peterson strobe tuners. Others have recommended frequency counters. Would be
grateful for recommendations and information. Thanks,

Stan

I use a Sanderson Accu-Tuner, SAT II available from Inventronics in
Lowell MA. But it's expensive and has a lot of features special to
the needs of piano tuners (which I am). The Petersons seem to do OK
for people I know, some of them picky engineers.

I use the Peterson Virtual Strobe which is excellent in all respects. Have a
look at their website for full details.

***Hi Stan,

This is another one that I would recommend you post to the *main*
tuning list. There are several professional piano tuners over there,
and this has been a topic of discussion over there in the past...
Just before you make a final decision...

best,

Joe Pehrson
