Because - always - when you hit a string it ALWAYS go up in pitch then settles at rigth pitch but 10 seconds in, it always drops flat. But the Turbo Tuner, is spinning too fast like a roulette wheel when it's only 0.5 cents or 0.002 cents wrong which is too accurate for any plucked instrument. As fast as you touch the intrument the actual touching is enough to make the most accurate tuner showing you're out of tune!Įspecially those by Sonic Research, called Turbo Tuner, and Peterson StroboSoft. Even headless ones where one tunes up back at the bridge.
I'e encountered the same problems with all too accurate tuners, especially on bass. Just one less thing to worry about, and the time to wind the cinching wraps has become unnecessary.) (On my electrics, I have abandoned original equipment in favor of locking tuners. I would double-check your E string winding around the peg. Before adopting that technique, I have had strings slip on the tuning posts. This is a visual example of what I am attempting to describe. In the absence of locking tuners, I have found it necessary to wrap one turn of the string below the hole, and the remainder above the hole, so that together they cinch the string into place. THAT corrected the alignment.)Īs for other culprits, if you are not equipped with locking tuners, then the string could be slipping on the tuner post. It wasn't until I slightly loosened the four neck screws - with the strings installed and tuned to tension - that the neck shifted slightly and was pulled into its pocket properly. (When I first assembled my project Tele, I was unhappy with the neck alignment. I would examine the neck joint screws for snugness and check the joint itself for play. The amount of flattening drift will increase with a vigorous attack.ĮDIT (per request, adding comments into my answer). The drift you see is normal - so much so that Steve Howe entitled a tune Sharp On Attack. Is there anything I can do to use the strobe tuner more effectively? How can I tell the difference between problems with my tuning technique and problems with the instrument itself? I figure that these problems are mainly because I’m not accustomed to the extreme precision of the strobe tuner, but I’m a little concerned that it may indicate a problem with my instrument’s tuners, nut, or neck. My bass E is especially difficult to tune, as the pitch steadily drifts flatter as I’m tuning and rarely stabilizes on a pitch long enough to tune it, even if I strike the note very gently with the tone knob rolled off. I suspect that I’m putting a little tension on the neck while I’m tuning, but I’m concerned that there might be a problem with my tuners. I’ll get a string tuned just right, and then it drifts a couple cents out of tune as soon as I let go of the tuning knob.
I recently started using Peterson’s iStroboSoft strobe tuner app to tune my guitars, and I'm running into a couple of common problems, especially when tuning my Fender Standard Precision Bass.
