Phenomenal Tuner! Once you use it, you won’t ever want to use any lesser tuner.

The main reason after an extra $3000 I did not opt for this as a main piece of gear was too many parts to break, and I do not work with bells, vibes, chimes, marimbas, etc enough. These are great for tuning church bells, and other things where the fundamental decays into a harmonic. If I do find one used at a good price I will buy another one. I use the 490 ST most of the time. It still will lock onto harmonics and wolf tones when I do not want it to. This will lock onto everything so my E will show on the E wheel, and if I have a minor 3rd harmonic that will show on another wheel. Wolf tones are not as big a problem either with this and 5ths, I liken this to the TV-2 vacuum tube tester to say the 752 model. 7 meters you have 6 more things to go wrong. The Peterson company still makes a pretty rugged instrument and a good case. Some things are better than ever, some are a little lighter in weight and not as tough.

Extremely precise, very easy to use, can tune chords, and it shows shows you the fundamental and overtones of each pitch it hears. The perfect tool.

My high school band has one of these and it works amazingly well. This can tune an instrument from across a band room (30-55 ft) superbly. This is strongly recomended to anyone who needs to tune a group of people, though the price would lead me not to recomend it to an individual musician. An average electric tuner would be ideal for personal use. Band directors: get this tuner!

we use one of these tuners for highschool marching/concert band and it is very precise, the only bad thing about it is that it picks up every sound in the room.

Well I thnk im one of the few people who has used this. It is amazing. I played guitar in a jazz band, and every instrument would tune to this tuner. The entire band would be synchronized in moments, it is amazing.
