Cons
Who is this for?
Strumming all strings at once revealed a flat b string on this guitar.
This tuner would be perfect for someone who plays mostly in standard tunings. The Polytune setting lets you strum all six strings and see at a glance which of them are out of tune. Using this setting, one can quickly find which string(s) are out of tune and adjust them. For fine tuning, it is probably best to tune one string at a time.
Altered tunings
Although the Polytune supports detuned guitars and capos, it does not support altered tunings. Players who often use altered tunings may not find this feature helpful. It still works as a regular tuner, however.
