Has anyone encountered the following:
My fairly new Stroboflip tuner, tonight, started displaying the E strings on my guitar with the little triangle pointing up that is supposed to mean the note is way flat, even though they sounded in tune. I chased this for a couple of hours before I determined I was in tune and the tuner was displaying this in error. I could tune the string all the way to an Eb or F and the triangle was still there when tuning back to an E. I never had this problem when my VSAM tuner was working.

Can't say I have noticed this on My tuner Richard.
Was the strobe rolling or stationary? That is what I look at when tuning.If it is rolling down,You are flat,if rolling upward You are sharp.
I guess You already know this.
Best regards

Richard,
There are usually 2 places you'll see the ^. The one to the left of the strobe indicates sharp/flat. The other denotes that you are at "High E". This arrow is next to the "E" note designation. As long as the strobe is flat, you should be good. |

The strobes functioned correctly. I need to re-read the manual. I forgot about which arrow meant what. I was seeing the arrow to the right of the note name. If it means high E, why was it also showing when I was tuning my 8th string E? And, I have never seen it appear before. I've had the tuner for a month or so, so I just need to get used to it.
Thanks for the info.
This could probably get locked up now.

| Sometimes it will lock onto an overtone rather than the fundamental, so that is probably why it displays the high E arrow. |

| That's the octave number from scientific pitch notation. The lowest C on a piano is C1, the next is C2 and so on. The lowest note on a guitar is E2 and the open first string is E3. |
