[Harp-L] Bending on a Diatonic Harmonica Using a Pitch Pipe to Test Accuracy

[Slim Heilpern]

Hi Ken -

It's easier than that. Most modern tuners will determine the pitch you are close to automatically and compare your pitch to the actual pitch relative to A-440 using equal temperament (or whatever frequency you set it to).

IOW, just play a note and it will show you how close or far away you are from the desired pitch. iStrobosoft works that way out of the box (so to speak), nothing to find. Just play a note and look at which way the virtual wheel is moving -- as you get close to the pitch the motion slows to a stop.

Another good one is "ClearTune", which uses the more common meter approach. It too will work for any note you play.

Hope this helps....
