The STANDARD by which all else are measured by.... this is what we use on tour. We have been using Peterson tuners for the better part of 30 years! Tech support is stellar!

Just wow!
This thing works so well it's not even funny. Very easy to understand and you can tell you've got quality in your hands. I love how easy it makes tuning octaves which for harmonica is a MUST. In just one session I was able to tune my harp so precisely I'm not sure I'll actually need to go for a second pass never mind a third which is, normally, how you tune on this instrument. (probably still gonna do more passes but still incredible ;P )
Plus the service has really been great. The people who work here are very knowledgeable and super helpful !!
I highly recommend Peterson for any tuning needs!!

I've only had this for a couple of weeks and there is a learning curve ... I am still adjusting to the strobe's reaction time ...

The feature that most impressed me is the ability to adjust the sensitivity when performing intonation on a guitar. I am very fussy when it comes to intonation and this feature secures me with the ability to deliver a service to my customers that others in my area can not.

Very nice, and very accurate, but I would like to see the display indicate exactly how many cents over or under the exact pitch any note is. This would be very convenient, at least in setting up guitars, which is one of the tasks for which I use this. The value can be determined, but it is a little bit of a hassle. Otherwise, I am 100% satisfied with the purchase. Does everything I expected and then some. A fine instrument.

I have always been interested in setting up my guitar and piano accurately as well as having the means to service reed instruments. Although I'm not on a professional level, I've found that very high and very low notes tend to confuse other types of tuning devices, this was achievable with the Peterson 490 Strobe Tuner.
