[BAROQUE-LUTE] tuner

[Anthony Hind]

Dear Baroque persons
	George Bryan, just mentionned the existance of a true strobe tuner  
at a very reasonable price that can be seen here:
"Turbo Tuner" ST-122 by Sonic Research, Inc,
(www.sonic-research.com). It is a "strobe-type) with a ring of LED's
that simulate the rotation of a true strobe, cost $130


I think that it could also interest people on this list. I am  
assuming some are not inscribed on the other list, so I am list  
crossing, and hope no one minds.

This tuner does sound interesting. It appears to be completely  
prorammable, up to 14 presets? I had a look at the site Gearge  
mentions, and it also looks much smaller than the Petersen, which  
would be a great advantage.
I presume there is a mic in? When you say it will probably go lower  
than a=415, I see on the web page "The A4 reference pitch may be set  
to any frequency between 220.0 Hz and 880.0 Hz in .1 Hz increments.  
(Default is 440.0 Hz)."     It also says ; " Tune In Any Temperament,  
The ST-122 uses the equal temperament by default, and the user may  
define up to 14 different 12 note temperaments. The Just and  
Pythagorean temperaments are already programmed into the unit at the  
factory.
It certainly sounds very reasonably priced. Does anyone else know  
this tuner?

Anthony
