[Harp-L] Re: Need to buy a tuner (was New Hering Diatonic Harp?)

[Peter and Connie Ruth <conruth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ron - I have had great luck with Korg tuners.  I have two of them and  
they both work great.  When looking for a tuner for tuning harps, be  
sure to get a chromatic tuner that can be calibrated to 438, 439,  
440. 441, 442, 443, 444 and 445.

I don't tune to the cent.  I am not that precise.  I merely   
calibrate the tuner to 440, 442, or 443 (depending on what reed I'm  
tuning) and then I tune the reed until the needle is straight up.
