I noticed a tone generator app on my cell phone.
Thought I would check it against my Emmons p/p.
As it turned out my steel (according to the app)
Was of tune.
Enter Petterson Strobe...no worries
Hmmmmm Be advised.

| I was 17 when I started playing with a popular local band. The bass player would have me get in the phone booth, put in a dime, and hold the phone to his ear outside the booth. I think the dial tone was an "F"! |

| Newsflash - One tuning won't work for all guitars. Temperaments are different for all types of guitars because a steel guitar is a totally different animal from a regular guitar. The vast majority of tuners, as well as the tuning programs and apps out there, were designed (read: "adjusted") for regular guitars. |

Still is, with an A above it. Before tuners were invented I'd tune my 6-string to a dial tone if I didn't have my pitchpipe. Still have that pitchpipe somewhere but I bet it's been thirty years since I've even seen it!  |
