How does a guitar strobe tuner work?
Most electronic tuners work by using a microprocessor to analyze the average period of the waveform of a vibrating string, and using LEDs to indicate whether the pitch of the string is higher, lower, or directly equal to the specified desired pitch for that string.
How accurate is a strobe tuner?
Strobes are typically accurate to within 1/1000 of a half step (1/10 of a cent). So a strobe tuner is 30 times more accurate. For setting intonation on a guitar, this is essential accuracy.
Why is a strobe tuner more accurate?
Among the most accurate tuning devices, strobe tuners work differently than regular electronic tuners. They are stroboscopes that flicker a light at the same frequency as the note. ... These can tune instruments and audio devices more accurately than most non-strobe tuners.
