Using a Vibration Tuner

Video Transcript

"Two other useful accessories for a guitar and other instruments that have a vibrating sensation to them are these styles of tuners here. These tuners don't listen for the sound; they detect the vibration of the sound as it's transporting itself around through the instrument. This particular tuner, and this particular tuner, mount to the neck of the guitar at the headstock, with a clip that clips it on. It then listens for the vibrations of the instrument, and will display it in the center of the dial. It will show you whether you're sharp or you're flat, and the beauty of these is, is that they are usable in a noisy environment or on a gig where you're playing and there are other things going on. External noises would render a regular tuner that listens for pitches really useless in that situation. These are vibration sensing contact tuners that offer you the ability to tune in a noisy environment."
