Kratt Master Key Chromatic Pitch Pipe with Note Selector - C to C Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item for my husband who leads Acapella singing in the church of Christ services. He is very satisfied with the product and low price found on amazone. He particularily likes the note selector which more accurately helps him get the right pitch the first time. Highly recommended by my song leading husband.

Cherub Intonation Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product comes with the most important accessories (earbud, contact microphone) and has a very easy to understand interface. The functions are all very useful and the built in speaker is loud and very clear (volume adjustable). It has a better built in metronome than I've used on some stand alone metronome units. As for the pitch training function it was intended for, it has positives and negatives...
The pitch recognition and playback does actually work as described most of the time. However, you have to be very close to the pitch for it to play the correct pitch back, which is odd since you can see on screen that it definitely recognizes what note it hears you being closest to. So it doesn't help much more than a standard digital tuner if your intonation is significantly off (as mine sometimes is) and is best suited for fine tuning an already good sense of pitch/finger position. Another problem though is that, at least with the violin, it picks up a lot of overtones and sometimes treats those as the recognized pitch. So for instance you might be playing an open D but the tuner is playing back a high G or A to you. The speed of response in pitch recognition varies a lot. Occasionally it will respond wonderfully quick, giving you a note almost simultaneously with your attack...other times it seems to take a few seconds to respond. I'm not sure what factors are causing this for me, it could be other variables such as ambient noise, etc.
I give this 4 stars instead of 3 for the number of helpful functions this has in one unit. For the price it's actually very handy and a good value for beginner players.

Farley's Pocket Tones PT-16 Chromatic F Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a dramatic (and quite embarrassing) failure with our gospel quartet's reed pitchpipe, it was time for an update/upgrade -- and the Farley's Pocket Tones got the job. So far, I'm pleased with the overall functionality, although the tone could be more aesthetically pleasing. It has all the timbre of a smoke alarm -- which is to say, it's a pure tone without any overtones. For the money, it can't be beat ... but I'd have paid a few more bucks to get a more subtle/pleasing/unobtrusive tonality.

Violin Pitchpipe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this pitch pipe to tune my mandolin which is tuned the same as a violin. I typically use a digital tuner which works very well, but for me it's actually a little easier to tune it by ear. I was a little skeptical about ordering a plastic pitch pipe over some of the other metal ones. However, the insides are probably the same as others. This pitch pipe works well, although two of the notes are just slightly low. This really isn't much of an issue though - it's hardly noticeable, and I probably only noticed it after comparing against the digital tuner. If I decide it is important enough, it looks like you can open it up and adjust the tuning (it says it's hand tuned on the packaging). Or if it was really important enough, I could send it along with $3 for postage and handling to get it replaced by Performance Plus... however it only cost $3.95, so I won't be doing that.

Performance Plus Guitar Pitch Pipe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this as a cheap alternative to a battried auto tuner. The notes are accurate and does the job. However, I noticed that blowing too hard (by not that much) will mess up the note. I recommend this for anyone that doesn't want to mess with a crummy 9-volt.

Kratt Master Key Pitch Pipe C to C Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought a dulcimer, and needed something to help me tune the instrument. Yes, there are all kinds of electronic tools out there, but this pitch pipe fits in my case, never needs batteries, can be slipped into my pocket - it's just too convenient not to use.
Now, a pitch pipe requires that you have an ear that can tell when the pitch on the instrument matches the pitch on the pipe. If you want a needle or a digital readout to tell you when you're in tune, don't buy this.
The only reason I didn't go with five-stars is I can't swear to you that the pitches on the pipe are "exact". I'm trusting that Kratt accurately calibrated their pipe, and have no evidence to the contrary. With that warning, this meets my needs.

Farleys Pocket Tones: Chromatic-C Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased two of the Farleys Pocket Tones. After a month or so, one of the devices is broken: it runs through the battery set quickly, without my using it.
The other one still works, but I find it isn't a perfect solution. First, there's no real on-off switch. You use the Pocket Tones by pressing one of the pitch keys and then pressing that same one again. So, it's always ready to play, even when in a bag or in my pocket. And it does. Often.
I've come across it singing to itself in my pocket or bag. This can kill the array of batteries at times. There's no way to know what the battery status is and I've had it die at times when I needed it.
At the minimum, it needs an on-off switch. I'm looking at non-electric solutions.
