Tuning Your Instrument (TUNER)

3

While watching the tuning guide, tune your

instrument so that the center indicator is lit.

If the difference is within ±50 cents of the correct pitch,
the tuning guide will show the difference between
your instrument and the displayed pitch.

If your instrument is sharp

D_Tuner_E_high.eps

If your instrument matches the displayed pitch

D_Tuner_E_just.eps

If your instrument is flat

D_Tuner_E_low.eps

4

Repeat steps 1–3 to tune each string of your

instrument.

When tuning an instrument, the reference pitch is
conventionally given as the frequency of the A4 note
(middle A on a piano keyboard).

You can adjust the tuner’s reference pitch in the range of
435–445 Hz.

In the TUNER screen, you can use the dial to set the
reference pitch.

With the factory settings, this is set to 440 Hz.

If you’re tuning a guitar that has a whammy bar,
tuning one string might cause the other strings to
drift out of tune. Start by tuning each string to the
approximate pitch so that the correct note name is
displayed, and then retune each string successively
as many times as needed.

Specifying the Tuner’s
Reference Pitch

The reference pitch setting is saved within
the BR-800.
