[musictlk] Accessible Tuners?

[kwakmiso at aol.com]

Thank you all for the replies.
I am in high school wind ensemble/marching band, so the director trains 
students to tune with ear by listening to each other, but also uses 
tools because it's more efficient and accurate before going into a 
festival or competition. Also, he encourages students to use such tools 
to learn tendencies on each note on our instruments.
I do not own iPhone but if I someday do, I will obtain the app Sheri 
mentioned.

You could use a piano. But unless you have enough vision to see a red 
or
green light flashing, I don't think there is such thing.
I have a guitar tuner that has a red light or a green light when I am 
in
Tune or not. It is much easier now just to tune from the intervals, but 
I
used it for a while. I actually find that now I am much more in tune 
than I
ever was with the tuner. Probably because I tune from the pitch that 
reaches
my ears and the tuner tuned from the pure vibration.
Thanks,

Sure, but on the way to that goal, a person could use some support: and
having tuned in some not-so-ideal places, I find a little mechanical 
help
handy.  There's a nice accessible tuner that gives you 5-cent 
incriments on
the iPhone.  Sorry, I know, not everybody has an iPhone, but that's the
nicest accessible set of tools I've found.

In my humble opinion, all musicians should be able to tune their 
instruments
by ear.

Instrumentalists,
I would like to know if there is any tuner available, that can tell you 
how
much flat or sharp you are for a given pitch exactly.
I use a metronome that has a tuner in it. The only prolblem is that it 
only
plays an A and I just have to match it with my ear.
In my wind ensemble class, students use stroke tuner and a tuner that 
tells
you how much sharp or flat your sound is. Is there any accessible 
device for
that?
