When I was thinking about picking up a Uke and learning about music back in March, I thought I'd breakout my old Spanish guitar and put a new set of strings on it, but just the first four and play it like a baritone Uke. Just to see if I'd like the sound. I had tried to learn guitar for a few years but was always frustrated about tuning.
I went into a music store and the guy helped me pick a set of D'Addraio strings and when I went to pay, I saw a tuner in the case. When he told me it was only $16 I bought it. The idea of a neck top tuner intrigued me. After changing the strings and fooling around with it I was really thrilled to be able to play in tune, probably for the first time!
Anyway I bought a Uke because the guitar was just too big to be comfortable. The little tuner had a Uke setting and I was playing in tune and real happy. Then I saw that Snark had a metronome tuner and it was ~$14 so I bought one and found that the flashing heart was useful to stay on beat with my strumming.
Now I see that Snark has now come out with a tuner that has the metronome function AND a frequency counter that lets you see the actual frequency of the string in Hertz ( cycles per second). Cool.
I was an Electronics tech for years and used Freq counters everyday so having a freq counter is an attraction for me, as it would allow me to see what an A or G really is in the audio spectrum. I'm not sure how much that would mean to a musician but to me it is an attraction.
I checked Amazon and didn't see the freq counter model there so my TAS is on hold until they show up there. Anybody else interested in a freq counter tuner?
