Cent Sharp
Can you please help me with this Chromatic Tuner?
Hopefully someone can help me understand this tuner I someone gave me.
It ranges from 433 to 447 hz, how big of a range in frequency is that? How would something at 433 sound compared to 447?
Also on this tuner it lets you add up to four flats but I have no idea what that does…
What is the -50 – +50 “cent” thing mean on the meter between flat and sharp?
and it also lets you choose individual notes, but goes 1E, 7B, 6E, 5A, 4D, 3G, 2B… What does that mean?
Thanks!
This sounds like a guitar tuner, so it may not be chromatic. I’m going to try to answer your questions (in reverse order).
Regarding those notations: “1E, 7B, 6E, 5A, 4D, 3G, 2B”, the digit tells which guitar string and the letter is the note name.
A “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone (half-step). Negative means you’re flat, positive means sharp.
Don’t know what the four flats thing is. Maybe you can use it to do chromatic tuning.
Standard pitch is 440Hz. The only time I’ve ever used non-standard is to match a particular recording, if I want to tune my instrument to play along (see trivia below). How big of a musical range is 14Hz ? There’s no easy answer for that.
Some trivia:
I read an interview with Eddie Van Halen in which he talked about tuning. Apparently, on the older albums, Eddie would just arbitrarily tune his guitar without regard to standard pitch. He just tuned the strings by ear, so the relative pitch was correct. As a result, his guitar was usually tuned to Eb instead of E. “Ain’t talkin’ ’bout Love” was tuned a 1/4 step flat.
Have you tried searching on the internet for a manual ?
