[LUTE] Re: tune the tuna

[Andrew Gibbs]

On the advice of several people on this list, I recently bought the  
Sonic Research ST-122 Strobe Tuner. It works a treat - amazingly  
accurate - you can use it to set your frets. And you can program  
custom temperaments. It even picks up very clearly the bass notes on  
a clavichord - which is something no tuner I've used previously has  
managed to do... But does it produce sounds? - don't know - I'd have  
to check when I get home.

Here's a link to Sonic Research:

They were happy to ship internationally.

(BTW Omer - I believe our lutes are related - I got my 7c Hans Frei  
type from James Marriage shortly after you did.)

I'm still looking for a new shiny tuner, my old one...well, old.

long time ago Korg had the OT-12 (i think it was 12) tuner, a nice  
tuner, memory, all kind of neat stuff. my friend has it and she's  
using it to tune her viol.

now, Korg have only the OT-120, no memory, few presets. but again,  
no memory. the presets are nice touch to it, but i cant build my  
own like in the older model and i really don't want to use  
automatic tuning, i want to hear the sound, like in the old days  
when i was young and stupid.

any way now... i really need a new tuner. so any suggestions for a  
nice and shiny tuner will be accepted. i also accept lutes, if you  
want to send me one or two.

thank you,
Omer
