On the other hand, it is used to denote the concert pitch - the LED shows what is currently set. The two functions are totally discrete - 440Hz has no correlation to -10cents. When you select the function, to set concert pitch, the tuner functions is switched off and the LEDs denote pitches 415Hz, 438Hz, 439Hz.............445Hz (9 steps).]]> Live Sound greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/440-vs-441-tuner-seiko-stx1/#post-183193 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/440-vs-441-tuner-seiko-stx1/#post-183190 Tue, 13 Jun 2006 11:47:44 +0000
I was once told that the rattle in my head was also a few cents off.

This will explain concert pitch better than I ever could.

Tuners are like everything else, some are better quality than others. I am not familiar with either of the tuners you mentioned, perhaps your friend's is better quality and more sensitive.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/440-vs-441-tuner-seiko-stx1/#post-183117 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/440-vs-441-tuner-seiko-stx1/#post-18398 Tue, 13 Jun 2006 01:34:17 +0000
I'm wondering, however, what the deal is with it tuning to 441 instead of 440.
(if you look closely at the picture, the 440/-10 LED is lit with the 441/0 LED above it)

Is this Seiko tuner a lot more accurate in combination with 441 tuning what makes the guitar sound much better?]]> Live Sound PRNDL https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/440-vs-441-tuner-seiko-stx1/#post-18398
