The owners manual, while fairly opaque, contains a wealth of information regarding direct measurement of intervals by Jim Coleman and others. The second reason is that the Accu tuner comes with a number of temperment sequences and can be a very good way to teach oneself the temperment as well as to measure a temperment one has just set. I have been unable to get consistent, reproducible measurement results from the other tools mentioned above. The first reason is that it is very easy to directly measure any pitch. It is the one I recommend for beginners who are trying to learn tuning. The Accu tuner is the only one I actually use. I have an Accu tuner 3, a licensed copy of Tunelab, a licensed copy of Tunic onlypure, a Peterson 490 Autostrobe ( banished to another state for my brother in law to try ) and an iStrobosoft app on my phone. The only thing about the sat 4 is that the hinge and closing clip didn't last long for me (pieces started to break off after 2.5 years of heavy use and i just had them replace the entire housing since they can't replace the hinges nor clip). I have seen the Reyburn cyber tuner in action and i prefer its visual but not enough to switch.

When i took the second part of the tuning exam, using the sat 4, i scored 100% for the entire tuning so if you know how to tune a piano and know how to use an etd, one should be able to produce a very good tuning.
I like the Sanderson Accutuner best because that's the only one i have used so far. I think there are several very good etd's out there and they presumably all have their pros and cons. If someone is willing to take me on as an apprentice and teach me how to tune as described above, that would be welcomed too. I tune C4-B4 usually, and tune the 4ths pure, and the 5ths as they should be (narrow 3 beats in 5 seconds.) My ear is not good enough for even a satisfactory tuning yet, so I need a standalone tuning device that can give me great results. What is the best standalone tuner out there? I've looked at the Peterson tuners and the Sanderson AccuTuner. Maybe one of them has an opening for someone like you. The best thing you can do right away is to join the Technicians Guild, and meet the local technicians.

You can also look into a full time school if you have the means. Learning to tune by ear will make you a much better tuner in the long run.Īs far as learning as an apprentice, you'll have to look around your local area for someone to teach you, unless you are willing to relocate.

Any of these devices or software will help keep you on track while you learn to tune by ear.

The RCT CyberTuner is the most popular software by far, but is around $1000, with yearly update fee of around $80.
TuneLab is $350, and they also have a trial period you can use it to try, and the only limitation is that it will time-out for a while. If cost is a factor, you might want to rethink the software side of things. I think Yamaha has a tuning box M100(?) too, but I don't know much about it.
You can get refurbished ones from the company at a discount, and not have to worry that it will be obsolete or crap out, or lack support. So, the Accutuner is the only choice I would recommend. I prefer the ruggedness of a stand-alone box, with good battery life, for the long haul. There may be some other stand-alone devices from overseas, but I don't know about them personally. The stand-alone Verituner is no longer made, and now is only available as software for iphone/ipad. The Verituner is a very good machine also, and works differently. Very few professional tuners use that one. Don't even consider the Peterson, it's nowhere near as advanced as the Accutuner. The reason I like it is because the readout consists of led's which don't require any software to interfere with the real-time indication. I prefer the Accutuner, which I've used for almost 30 years. There's another one called the Verituner, and just happens there's one for sale on Ebay for about $600. There are several stand alone options, two of which you mentioned.
