As with all Cherub tuners, this model offers supremely accurate tuning and fast response time. This tuner combines the best of the 3 technological worlds of digital VU meter, LCD and LED. Digital VU meter offers the most accurate response to tuning, perfect for precise tuning. LED tuning guides offers the easiest visual tuning indication. And LCD offers the best readout of tuner operation.

This chromatic tuner can tune all 12 notes. The tuner has 4 transposition modes (C, Eb, F, Bb). Transposition is used when tuning instruments played in different keys. For example, piano, violin, etc. are played in the key of C while alto saxophone is played in the key of Eb and French Horn is in the key of F.

The # and b mode of the tuner allows the half notes to be displayed all in # or in b. This is used as a preference by instrumentalists. The tuner features a very easy to read digital display and easy to use button operation. The display registers the note name and mode automatically.

The device has a built-in mic but also comes with a precision pickup for improved acoustic tuning. For string instruments (violin, viola, cello, and bass), the pickup can be clipped onto the bridge or any part of the instrument to pick up the sound of the instrument for tuning. For band instruments, the pickup can also be clipped onto any part of the instrument to pick up sound. For guitars, the contact microphone can be clipped onto the scroll or any part of the instrument.

A pickup is better in transmitting sound into the tuner than a built-in mic that always comes with a tuner. This is because a mic is more likely to pick up background noise that causes interference with the sound from the instrument. This pickup comes with proper cushion so it will not damage the finish on the instrument. The clip has a 1-1/2" width range. This allows the pickup to clip onto any part of the instrument that is as thick as 1-1/2".

The MetroTuner is compact pocket size. It can easily fit into any case or bag. It also comes with a built-in stand that allows the metronome to be placed in a easily readable position. As with all Cherub metronomes, this model is very well built to resist damage from accidental drops.
