Members Teddy G4THT Posted January 31, 2009 Members Share Posted January 31, 2009 How accurate of a tuner do you need to do a good job for an intonation? I currently only have the tuner that is built into my RP-100 and it is only +/- 3 cent accurate. I'm upgrading and trying to decide between a Korg that is +/- 1 cent (about $40) or a Planet Waves that is +/- 0.1 cent accuracy (about $90). Not sure how important, noticable or believable that 0.1 cent is. ThanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Instrospection Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've found that alot of tuners are slightly off with intonation higher up the fretboard, because of the ballistics of the lights/ meters. Most of the time I have to go on ear for intonation, just because it's a bit more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Teddy G4THT Posted February 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ned. How accurate is that Behringer tuner that works well? I've heard the human ear can only recognize up to around +/- 2 cent so seems like a tuner with +/1 or better accuracy would do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
