I found that with my harp, if I touch the string while it’s still ringing before Talking Tuner speaks, I don’t get an accurate reading. When I purchased my first harp – I’ve had several before switching to my pedal harp, I was told “you spend half your time tuning, and the other half

With my guitar, I don't always let the string ring until it stops. That shortens things up quite a bit. I used to have a Celtic Harp but got tired of tuning it and sold it about a year before I found Talking Tuner. O well. Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in

I copied the description below, but if you want to tune to a string sound being played,, this is very good as it repeats the note until you stop it and you can switch octaves. I would think this would be good for piano and it says it is specifically accessible with VoiceOver. Description: tuner
