Tuner Calibration

I don't quite know what you could have done to screw up the calibration, but try taking the battery out and leave it out for 10 minutes or so. When you put it back in, you should have a "new" tuner, again.

to be honest... I sat on it :oops: lol
thanks for the reply, took your advice and it turns out 440hz is the original calibration. :)
but my guitar seems to sound a bit listless on 440hz in comparison to 445, any reason for that?

at 445 your strings are a bit tauter. they ring out more IMO.
perhaps that pitch is in tune toyour ear...since it sounds better to you.
unfortunately, you wont be able to play with anyone elese at that pitch.
440 is correct.
in fact some strings sound better when a few cents flat.

445hz A, would make the A#(ish) right?
I think there should be a topic on tuning tips, and people's preferences concerning that, relating to tone.... good idea? could be an interesting discussion....
My acoustic just has this beautiful singing ring when strummed, and it seems more prominent when sharper, maybe my ears are just trained horribly, as long as the guitar is in tune with itself i have no problems with it, but as you said, it won't sound so pretty with a properly tuned guitar.

440 = A, 466 = Bb, 494 = B. So 445 is not one fret up. More like a half fret I would guess.

Not even 1/6th of a fret, you probably take it more 'out of tune' when you don't fret cleanly :)

I'm just wondering if when it's sounding fuller you're playing along with something or just the guitar itself? I learned a couple of weeks ago (on this forum, of course), that people sometimes tune one of each pair of strings on a twelve string slightly out to the other, resulting in a fuller sound... just wondering out aloud really :)

The difference to me a barely audable, but I'll change back to 440HZ. My B string always seems kinda flat to me.... maybe I should invest in a buzz feiten tuning system, I would have bought a garrison guitar, but the seagull was just too beautiful....

You may need the intonation looking at. Tune your open B string exactly to B. Now fret it at the 12th fret and see what result you get. If you don't also get an exact B, you need the intonation correcting (this may also be true for the other strings).
A Buzz Feiten System isn't worth adding to a guitar and is non-reversible (part of the fretboard is removed). It also ties you in to one gauge of string, so you can't experiment with lighter/heavier strings.
A far cheaper and reversible improvement could be the Earvana nut and saddle( http://www.earvana.com/ ).

Oh yeah I had forgotten about Earvana :?
Does Buzz Feiten really require cutting out a piece of the fretboard!? :shock:
I think I'm going to look into Earvana then.... *shudders*

Yes, it does. The nut is actually sited a little further forward than a normal one to all for the individual compensation of the strings. Earvana does the same thing, but with an overlay.
The other thing with Buzz Feiten is, that the calculations for the compensation include parameters for the string gauge, so if you specify 10s and change to 11s, you negate the BF system.

beautiful!! I'm going to invest in that, and some brass bridge pins. :D
