6-string tuning – at one time!
Tuning can be such a burden on a performance. There are so many situations that make your guitar go out of tune. You’re newer strings will always stretch out. Even if they are worked-in you still will go out of tune after warming them up after playing a song or two. If you are outside and the sun starts blaring on your guitar or a cold breeze blows in, you’re going out of tune. We can’t escape it.
Then we need to click on the tune stomp box, E….. E…. E.., A….. A… A.. and so on. Friggin’ annoying.
I was checking out the photos of a friend who went to NAMM 2010 and I discovered this new product, the TC Electronic Polytune, which allows you to tune all strings at one time. According to the manufacture’s website it won “Best of Show” at the conference and will be released for shipping in March, 2010.
“The TC Electronic Polytune is the new kid on the block in pedal tuner technology [...] Just turn it on for silent tuning (muted output) and strum all of your open strings and the TC Electronic Polytune shows you which strings are sharp or flat and allows you to tune within +/- .5 cent accuracy…”
