This chromatic tuner with a clip-on pickup and built-in metronome is designed to be used with any instrument, as it can tune all notes from A0 to C8 - that's every key on a piano! Despite the wide range of possible note choices, it is simple to operate and will in fact instantly recognise the note you are playing. In simple terms, if you are tuning a guitar and you know that you need to tune an 'E', if the readout says 'D', you know that you need to tune-up. Once you have increased the pitch sufficiently, the display will indicate - with both text and changing colour - that you are now playing an 'E'. However the 'E' may still be a little flat or sharp, so the tuner will clearly show you whether you need to slightly increase or decrease the pitch to reach a perfect 'E'. This same operation applies to any note for any instrument. This is an essential tool for the seasoned professional as well as music students as you can now easily ensure you're perfectly in tune before that all-important performance. The tuner has a built-in microphone, but also features a separate clip-on transducer pickup. The pickup can be placed anywhere on your instrument, and will function via the sound-vibrations produced. The tuner has a fully chromatic tonal range of A0-C8, and for instruments that demand it, a frequency calibration of 430Hz to 450Hz. The TGI99 chromatic tuner also includes a metronome function with a BPM range of 30-250bpm. The beat is indicated both visually, using LED lights, and audibly with an easy-to-hear tone which can accentuate the first beat of the bar in numerous time signatures.
