Concert A pitch for Uilleann pipes is usually 440 Hz. Uilleann pipes are tuned to a pure just intonation scale in the key of D, with a bass, baritone and tenor drone all tuned to D, as well as a set of assignable regulators and a chanter tuned to a justly-intoned D scale. Concert A pitch for Highland bagpipes is much higher than other instruments and varies between 475 and 485 Hz. Standard Great Highland bagpipe tuning consists of a bass drone and two tenor drones all tuned to the note A, and a chanter tuned to a scale with a flattened seventh degree, which is unique to Highland bagpipes. They are radically different instruments, both in their physical attributes and the way they are tuned.

There are two main instruments in the bagpipe domain: the Scottish Great Highland bagpipes and the Irish Uilleann pipes. This tuner is fit for the most discerning of players and technicians for sure! Hear the beat or feel it…the power is in your hands. The developer will be required to provide privacy details when they submit their next app update. And for those feeling exceptionally adventurous, this tuner can be upgraded to also feature our super flexible Body Beat metronome option, along with both audible AND tactile mode operation. Finally, future-proof updating and parameter editing is made possible by the tuner’s unobtrusive side-mounted USB jack. Features such as Auto Off, easy menu navigation, tripod mounting capability, over 90 of our Sweetened Tunings, tone generation ability via built in speaker, and a headphone output jack round out the package.

Gone are the days of having to carry extra batteries and tripping over power cables during a performance! This tuner is rechargeable via computer bus or outlet power, and its large, circular screen is easily viewed in both the darkest and brightest environmental conditions. The Peterson StroboPlus HD (SP-1) is THE premier desktop digital tuner on the market! Equally as comfortable on a tech’s workbench as it is in a player’s guitar case, this tuner, with all of its features, is no exception to Peterson’s reputation for being THE most accurate in the industry - don’t let its demure palm size fool you! Players of both acoustic and electric instruments can rest assured- a built-in electret condenser microphone and ¼” input jack provide excellent connectivity.
