I favor the Unitune clip-on and the Airyware phone app. Good luck.

For me it’s perfect with open strings. All in the ear of the listener I suppose!

TBH, no-one has managed to explain to me yet how a set of tuning offsets designed specifically to suit the characteristics of JT’s guitar can possibly ‘sweeten’ every other guitar on the planet. I’m sure there are owners of guitars out there for whom the ACU ‘sweetener’ works because their guitars’ characteristics happen to be close enough to JT’s, but I’m far from being persuaded that it’s a universal solution. The usual disclaimers apply......IMHO, YMMV etc.

Have we found a new rabbit hole to go down. Made me think of a lyric in a Who song I'm in tune; Got it all here in my head nothing more needs to be said.

“An acoustic guitar and especially an acoustic guitar with notes being fretted are so far from matching the assumptions of the "ideal string theory" it's a wonder we can make music with them at all.” One of the reasons these statement hold true is our brain. It is the great adjuster, taking in sound, light, small, taste, touch and who knows what else, then deciding what we perceive. There are a million illusions out there that show how what is real is not always what we perceive. That doesn’t mean that some people aren’t more sensitive or aware of certain things, like tuning and intonation. But the vast majority of the folks in your audience, or players like me, are ok with “close enough” because our oblivious minds fill in the blanks. So we make movies with imperfect pictures, art with imperfect drawings, and yes, music with imperfect notes. In fact in some instances, representing reality in too much detail can be disturbing. Think of some super high definition TV. Music needs soul and that soul comes from individuals and their styles and imperfections. Otherwise any old computer would do. I would quote Justin Sandercoe, since I learn on his website: “If it sounds good, it is good”. I like to use my phone to bring new strings close to tune, then a Snark to bring it in. I don’t particularly like the Snark the rubber grippy and clip keep falling apart, but I have so many I haven’t need to buy anything else yet. |
