I bought a cromatic tuner today and it is saying that all of my strings are flat. My olt tuner (which is just a regular turner) says everything is good. anybody know whats wrong?
When were the batteries last changed in each one?

batteries are new in both.
My Korg chromatic tuner and the built-in tuner on my teacher's stack/set-up consistently disagree by almost half-step. So I tune at home with what I've got, and retune at lessons to what he has. :?

Make sure they're both set to the same pitch standard. Usually A=440 Hz. Most tuners allow you to shift that up or down a bit.

it's set to 440 Hz. I bought the cromaticfor tuning down so I'll just use the other one to tune it normal. Thanks for the help.
Experiment a bit with the pitch shifting and you'll find the calibration difference between the two. Then you can use either one to be in tune with the other.
Anything made by man has some margin of error. Doesn't matter when you're playing by yourself, but with others you'll have to tune to a common reference.

Now that is why when you play in a band or jam it's a good idea to share a tuner. I usually insist on using mine cause it has to be the one that's right if it's mine now doesn't it? :shock:

has any one every seen or used the strobe on string tuner i got one today its a mad yoke but i think lots of room for error ?same as them all really!
Any reference standard has to be calibrated itself to a more universal standard. Yeah, I've seen those strobe tuners. Don't have much experience using them, though.
