Reading the Strobe Display
Your tuner’s display features two concentric strobe bands. Underneath the strobe bands, the note name is
displayed as a large letter along with a number indicating the octave from which it is derived. To tune, play a note
on your instrument and carefully adjust its tuning until the strobe bands stop moving or are “caged“. If the note
you are tuning is too sharp, the bands will drift to the right; if flat, they will move to the left.
New to Strobe Tuning?
If you are new to strobe tuners, you’ll notice that they are much more sensitive and accurate than your previous
tuner. If you are tuning a stringed instrument, you may need to adjust your “touch“ when you pluck a string to
tune. Initially, instead of a plectrum or pick, use your finger or thumb to gently pluck the string or simply reduce
the volume of your instrument until you become accustomed to tuning accurately. In the case of guitars and
basses, check your instrument’s intonation before tuning, see “Guitar & Bass Intonation Tips” elsewhere in this
manual for instructions on how to do this. Owning a Peterson means you can do your own set-up work on your
instruments.
