SC5000-II
I own and have owned many excellent Peterson Strobe Tuners in the past and recently came across a very good used SC5000 II and purchased it. It is amazing to use, especially when setting up guitars and pianos. Very easy to see and use to get the exact tuning desired.

I would be remised to not mention Peterson's excellent support staff! I have called and generated support tickets in the past and Sue has been the person that responded to them. Always extremely helpful, especially with very old tuners. She is truly outstanding!
Peterson tuners I own and trust: SC5000 II, StroboStomp HD, Node 5070D, Models 400 & 420, and iStroboSoft!
I cannot say enough good words for this company and their products!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my SC5000-II require calibration?
Unlike more modern Peterson strobes, legacy models such as the Peterson 400, 420, 450 and 700 do require occasional calibration.
If you require service, please open a support ticket and return the tuner for repair.

How do I read a strobe display?
Adjust your instrument until the pattern is as close to still as possible. Strobe displays are 'real-time' and extremely precise. They require very fine tuning adjustments to stop the display because the frequency/pitch of any instrument is never totally stable.
You'll quickly learn to read the display, make the most precise adjustments and appreciate the high resolution that only a Peterson provides.
