#64 - Drew's "TIP-OF-THE-DAY" ... EASY TUNING METHOD using your chromatic tuner!

First of all, thank goodness that almost everyone we get to play with in our music circles uses an electronic tuner for their stringed instruments! That means so much to us cyberpluckers when we enter into an existing jam session, because we all know enough to have our own autoharps in good tune! Right?

Here's a tuning TIP that you may enjoy when you pull out your chromatic tuner, clip-on tuning pickup, and your tuning wrench.

Normally you attach the clip-on pickup to your tuning pins, and tune a batch of strings ... and then move the clip to another position before you tune your next batch.

HERE'S THE TRICK:
Fasten the clip DIRECTLY ONTO YOUR TUNING WRENCH! No need to clip-on to the tuning pins. The vibrations and tuning frequency will easily transmit to your digital tuner, and you'll get accurate tuning readings directly from the very string you are tuning. When you tune from string to string, the clip-on attached to the neck of your wrench moves right along with the wrench!

I find this is a great convenience using my long handle tuning wrench.
GIVE IT A TRY!
