Peterson StroboPlus HD Owners Manual - Manual (Page 20)

PEDAL STEEL TUNING TIPS :
If required, multiple pitches of the same note in the same or different octaves within a single Sweetener can be
programmed using the StroboPlus Editor on
www.PetersonTuners.com/connect. A bracket for mounting the
StroboPlus on a steel guitar is available from www.PetersonTuners.com . Owners of the Peterson StroboFlip can
use the StroboFlip mounting bracket with the addition of a universal joint available also from the Peterson online
store.
HARMONICA TUNING TIPS:
The included settings are the official Hohner values for their range of harmonicas. To apply a Sweetener to a
harmonica in a key other than C, use the transpose feature.
ACCORDION TUNING TIPS:
The included settings are general values for a number of musette styles. General good practice is to avoid all
unnecessary structural damage to the reed when tuning, remove material in a straight line along the length of the
reed. To apply a Sweetener to an accordion in a key other than C, use the transpose feature.
HARP TUNING TIPS:
Be careful to maintain an even tension on the harp’s frame when tuning, this is especially important when the
instrument has been detuned due to transport etc. Starting with the longest string, tune each note in all octaves
before moving to the next note. Finally, check and retune any strings which may have been affected by the
changing tension of other strings while tuning.
MARIMBA/XYLOPHONE
The presets for marimba and xylophone are intended for monitoring the instrument’s condition, for correct bar
retuning and regulation, consult the instrument’s manufacturer.
PIANO TUNING TIPS
Do not attempt without having basic tuning skills and technique. Learn the correct use of mutes and a tuning
hammer before attempting to tune your piano, if in doubt, consult a qualified piano technician. For electric pianos,
use the EQU setting if a stretch tuning is not desired.
