[Harp-L] Best android phone tuner for harp?

I use the Peterson iStroboSoft app.  Mine is an iPhone but the app is also
available for Android.  One of the in-app purchases is an Extended
Frequency Mode that should help nail the correct reading for very high or
very low registers.  Another, that I use all the time, is the Harmonic
Tuning setting which, when playing octaves, allows you to see the tuning of
both reeds at the same time - great for tuning octaves on both single-reed
and octave-tuned instruments.  Sensitivity can be adjusted to help get a
stable reading, and it's accurate to within 1/10th of a cent.  Not cheap,
but well worth it in my opinion.

Best regards,
Rick
