[musictlk] Accessible tuner and metronome

[Marion Gwizdala]

Winona,
    The tuner only tells you when you are on pitch, not if you are flat or 
sharp. For this, you need some point of reference. I play guitar, so I use a 
440 tuning fork to get my "A" string close to pitch and then the tuner to 
fine tune it. Since, for the most part, the guitar is tuned in fourths, I 
use the previous string as comparison. Which instrument are you wanting to 
tune?
