The tuner is expensive, but what it offers is interesting for a beginner. You can use AP Tuner or Guitools, Logic Pro has a tuner and Tuna Pitch (for
free) works fine on Mac...
I did not send my Peterson SC-1 back. I think I had an old battery and since I changed it, it works well and now I'm used to it. baseelo - 11-23-2012 at 11:23 AM
Thank you so much David.
This is helpful.
I logged on the peterson tuner website and it was interesting to me that they had "sweetened tuning " for oud and they talk about Rast Maqam!! which
tells me that they are targetting Arabic music.
I think I'll be geting this one. fayyazi - 12-3-2012 at 03:18 PM
as for half flats there is an iranian tuner called Rohab that has a built in metronome as well. handy little thing. i personally use a SNARK that
attaches to the head stock and picks the sound via the vibrations through the wood so if there is noise in the room like back stage etc. it wouldn't
interfere with your tuning baseelo - 12-3-2012 at 09:00 PM
Thank you fayyazi,
I'll search for that Rohab tuner.
Appreciate it.

Hi baseelo,
TheKorg LCA 120 is a programmable tuner where you can tune every 1,5 (or so) cents of a note.
I used it once to bring the frets of a saz in the right positions, and, after getting used to it, it worked fine.
Cheers,

Hi Fayyazi and Marcus,
Just wanted to ask you,
Do the ones that you recommended tell you if the note is C2 or C3 or C4 for example, or it just tells you it is C no matter which C it is?
I got the Peterson SC-1 StroboClip that David recommended and I like it but this is the only thing about it. It just says C, and doesn't say which C
it is.
I know that in Oud tuning this is not a very big deal but it still makes you feel better if the tuner gives you the exact note.
Thank youfernandraynaud - 12-4-2012 at 01:11 PM
If you have an iPhone, or iPad, the $1.99 Pano Tuner is very good. I have several tuners including the $100 Korg OT120 (which I like a lot) but the
Pano is what I usually reach for. It's extremely fast and responsive (I've used it to figure out Maqamat played on recordings), it reads out in Hz as
well as musical notes, which is very useful for unusual tunings, and has both preset and programmable temperaments if you prefer working that way. It
even beats the Korg OT120 on range, say for tuning of electric bass. Marcus - 12-5-2012 at 01:42 AM
Hi baseelo
it`s a while ago that I used it, not shure if it shows wich C it is.
In all pics on the web it shows A 4 ,looks like it`shows the # of the note.fayyazi - 12-10-2012 at 04:58 AM
Do the ones that you recommended tell you if the note is C2 or C3 or C4 for example, or it just tells you it is C no matter which C it is?...
