Peterson StroboClip Tuner

The Peterson StroboClip HD is the gold standard for tuning accuracy. With ±0.1 cent precision, it's the choice of professional luthiers and recording engineers.

Strobe tuners work differently than standard tuners, using a spinning-wheel display (or LED simulation) that's extraordinarily precise. When most tuners are accurate to ±1 cent, the StroboClip is 10 times more accurate.

Our Take:
Recommended
✓ Pros
  • ±0.1 cent accuracy (10x more accurate than standard tuners)
  • Strobe display is extremely easy to read
  • Sweetened tunings for perfect intonation
  • Multiple temperaments (historical tunings)
  • Drop and capo modes
  • Built-in metronome
✗ Cons
  • Expensive (~$50)
  • More features than most players need
  • Strobe display has a learning curve
  • Overkill for casual playing
