Had my Roadie 1 for going on 2 years. I love it, but would be great to lose the iPhone need with the Roadie 2.

It would get you in the ballpark but at $129, Ill wait. The tuner I have gets me in the ballpark and as long as Ive had it I call it free.

My ears and fingers do a pretty good job of tuning ... or at least, have for the past 53 years. Of course I use electronic tuners to ballpark it, like most, but the final sweetening is all ears and fingers. Not sure what market this gizmo appeals to, though.

I find my clip on and fingers do a pretty good job. For the techy players, it might sell well.

Sorry, this is a bit much. I can turn those twisty things on the headstock on my own, thanks.

An A=440 fork and my ears, although I do use a £10 D'Addario clip on for setups.

To each his own. I have a Roadie 2 with tons of alternate tunings saved for different guitars as presets. Use it every time I play live and have had no problems whatsoever.

Makes it easy to banter with the crowd while changing from standard to DADGAD, especially if I've been "overserved" by the bar, so I like mine a lot.

I use it for string changes and a friend of mine who has arthritis swears by it - makes tuning a lot less painful for her.

Best,
Jayne

I've gotten by for years tunning my old Martin 12 string with a tuning fork (440 A) and my ears. Once I got the E string in tune the rest of the strings just fall in place. Maybe this is a lost art?????

For the REAL guitarist:

Introducing Woadie Fretter (R)

Attaches easily to the lower positions of the neck.
You choose the desired chord shape by a simple touch with your fretting hand on the tiny touch screen (or your smartphone, using our free App). The fine mechanics of the device then hold each string at the necessary position for you.

* No more fatigue from those difficult barre chord shapes!!!
* You know ALL THE CHORDS!!! No need to try to remember what the heck the grip for G#13(b9) was like, just press the button!

Also available Woadie Fretter Pro, covering 3 positions more, with more sophisticates chord shapes and adaptive touch screen.

Compatible with all OSX or Android mobile devices*

Coming soon: Woadie Picker (R)! Find out more on Facebook
