![]() ![]() I continue to use this tuner, but only when I pick up one of my instruments that don’t already have a D’Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner clipped on the headstock. Trust me, once you use one, you’ll probably never use anything else. If you play any stringed instrument, you need to try the Intelli IMT-500 Digital Chromatic tuner. That’s just a very minor gripe though… I actually plan to buy a second one to have on hand just in case the one I use every day happens to break. The only thing that would make it even better would be a battery level check on the display. It’s small, so simple to use and can be found for less than $25. Just press the Flat button 1 to 4 times depending on the capo’s position and then tune like normal. The IMT-500 also has a “Quadra flat tuning” feature that allows you to tune your guitar / banjo without removing a capo. 440 Hz is the default pitch which equals C with no flat. The calibrate button is used to tune an instrument to a pitch other than A=440 Hz. ![]() As you can see from the image above, the LCD is large and bright. There is no need to tell the tuner which string you’re trying it tune. When the needle stops right in the middle, that particular string is in tune. When you pluck a string, a simulated needle will appear on the display to show if the current string tuning is flat, sharp or just right. Unlike tuners that use a built in microphone, this tuner doesn’t have any problems with interference from ambient noise. ![]()
