Strobe Tuners

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Hi Patrick,
The Peterson is a good instrument, very similar to the Conn.
That is if the motor is not making a lot of noise <G>
They will not do the stretch for you, but once you set the temperment, you
can use the tool to achieve a very good tuning. Jim Coleman Sr. wrote a
paper on using this type of device Long time ago! And has, or still may have
a few of the
paper cutouts that show how and when to change reading the notes to set the
strobe.
