Electronic Tuning Aids

Post by Brumtuner »

I'm not enthralled at paying 500+ squids for a downloadable progam, so...

Is there an accurate machine out there for, say, 200 quid? One that 'stretches' the octaves a tad - like what I does.

Can these overpriced progam versions be copied? :wink: ....you know what I mean?

You know what I'm after. I'm prepared to pay!

If you want in inexpensive tuning program try TuneLab (just Google it). The download does cost but should work out at well under 200 pounds. You can also download a trial version before you commit your hard-earned pennies.

Electronic tuning aids on the cheap.

I think the old addage "You get what you pay for" applies here. What you do not get with copies is the set up knowledge or the back up service when something goes wrong or you do not understand how to do this or that ! How many tunings would it take to pay for the real thing ?

Reyburn Cyber-Tuner

Post by Martin Heckscher »

Hi all,

Generally speaking we don't plug our own products or services on the forum - it doesn't seem right. But I emailed Barrie last night regarding the Reyburn Cyber-Tuner & he said that I should post this info on the forum, so I guess it has his blessing!

In case anyone is interested, we distribute the Reyburn Cyber-Tuner (RCT) software for Dean Reyburn over here. And very impressive it is too. Check it out on www.reyburn.com

Anyone thinking of investing in RCT is welcome to spend an hour
or three playing with our demo software at Bayham Street. But please speak to Phil in our warehouse first.

Best wishes to all
Martin
