So I bought one to try out. It could save me lots of time in setups provided it works as advertised...

Ironic that it's shown tuning a Gibson...

Read about these. Curious how well they work. Electric tuner makes sense, as long as it doesn't suddenly get a mind of its own and spins out of control like a fishing reel with a 12 lb bass on the other end.

I am wondering how helpful this will be. I will be most interested in hearing your review, Paul.

I saw a Gibson robot guitar tune itself silly one day at a local music store breaking strings left and right.

Cool! Yes let us know your experience of this Paul... I gather you are the first on your block to get one!!

My block...

There's a rich hillbilly at the beginning who throws his trash on the golf course across the road, and lets his blind dog run loose in the road. No musical interest that I can detect.

He wouldn't buy one.

Next is a father and son widower/bachelor. 85 and 55. Nice guys, but no musical interests whatsoever. The older guy is after my mother-in-law, but she's after the younger one.

Then there's my family.

Then there's an older bachelor attorney who lives in Tahoe 90% of the time.

That's the block. I'll be the only one with a robo-tuner!

Peter--I would have got that on video! At least this one can be pulled from the peg...

LOL. Great plot, I love the sound of this show!

Yep! I wish I could get some objectivity so I could pitch it...

of course it comes from ocala, florida.

If it works well, I'll buy one!

If it is in tunes and beeps, does it beep the string pitch? If it tunes a B-string, will the beep be a B?

(yes, I'm a bit bored this afternoon)

I don't think so. You wanna work on that a little?

Am I the only one thinking this is silly? Clicking my tuner on takes a few seconds and is more accurate. I don't see the point.

Erik: i can see if one is doing this thousands of times over a short time that this might be a useful tool.

More useful for us 12-string owners than maybe bass owners.
