It works nicely on my guitar, I'd think that > with some 46 or so tangents, it could be a big help in getting set up. there are two purposes for the onboard tuner. First is to find and control the pich of the open string, really helpful. Second is to tune the tangents. To tune the the tangent pitches well you will need a tuner that is capable of at least one or the other non equally tempered scales, like Kirnberger II, Valotti, ... or one that allows to reprogram its scale to the needed. Most small tuners that you might find nice to build in support modern standard equal temperament pitches only. If you find a small reprogamable one, please let me know...
