This review is from: Sabine MT9000 MetroTune Chromatic Tuner and Metronome (LCD)The metronome function is decent, but could be louder.The tuner cannot register any notes in the bottom third of my tenor trombone range. Whenever I play a low note, the tuner gets utterly confused and becomes unable to register higher notes as well. Definitely don't buy this tuner if you're a low brass player. Perhaps this tuner was meant for string instruments?If you're looking for an excellent tuner, I highly recommend the Boss TU-12H....
This review is from: Sabine MT9000 MetroTune Chromatic Tuner and Metronome (LCD)I'm a professional guitarist. I mostly teach guitar lessons, but also play solo gigs for weddings, parties, bars, coffee shops. I haven't had to do any other work since 2001 (it's late 2009 as of this writing). As a guitarist, I play acoustic, electric, and classical. I need to play Metallica, I play Metallica. Elliot Smith, I play Elliot Smith. Bach, I play Bach. Versatility has always been my thing. I wouldn't have even mentioned that, but this tuner has been taken down more notches by other reviewers than I think it should have been. It is the best tuner/metronome that you can find under $[...]. Period. I don't even know of other tuner/metronomes over that price range, b/c these days, they're all under [...] I have used the $[...] strobe tuner (not also a metronome) that's out there, and it's way better than that. A lot of the poorer ratings are from trombone players. I don't have anything to say to them or the other horn players that are looking for something to help them improve their intonation. Maybe this product isn't for them. I don't know. If you are a guitarist, however, acoustic, electric, or classical, I recommend it as highly as I can. It's a sensitive and convincing tuner, and it's a loud metronome. It is, in fact, the loudest metronome I've ever experienced that is also a tuner. There are stand-alone metronomes out there that are louder than this one, but they aren't also tuners. It's really great, because it will subdivide beats for you if that's what you need. By "subdividing beats", I mean, if you want the metronome to kick out dotted eighths followed by a sixteenth, it'll do it, and it's not hard to figure out how. If you have trouble with that, take a lesson with a music teacher of any instrument, and s/he'll be able to sort you out. To give you a short list of similar products that I believe it's better than, it's better than the Boss TU80, and the Korg TM 40 (though for that one, the volume of the metronome is the deciding factor). In short, if you're a guitarist or a bassist looking for a pocket-sized tuner or metronome that you won't feel like upgrading from in the next 5 years or so, pick this one. It'll set you back about [...]...
This review is from: Sabine MT9000 MetroTune Chromatic Tuner and Metronome (LCD)I had the same problem with the note indicator that Mr. Bateman had until I realized a trumpet is a B-flat instrument but Sabine MT9000 tuner is made for C instruments. Transposing is easy, but it even easier to simply ignore the note indicator and rely only on the pitch indicator. I already know what note I'm playing. Wind instrument players should be careful not to add vibrato when using tuners. I ended up buying a Sabine MT8000 that has a much louder metronome and it transposes. It's great....
