Hi, Steve Eulberg here for Dulcimer Crossing.

2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.139
You know, I've been well served by the tuning system I've been using for years.

3
00:00:13.895 --> 00:00:24.795
It the Korg tuner with the tuning clip that's attaching to the instrument to filter out the sounds that are coming from all over the place, that has actually done me very well.

4
00:00:25.175 --> 00:00:28.760
It's a huge improvement over trying to tune my instrument

5
00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:29.560
with,

6
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:36.920
pitch pipe, which I blew out of tune, and, you know, a little high a little high, a little low, depending on my breath.

7
00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:40.260
Also, much easier than using a tuning fork.

8
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:44.455
For years, I had an a tuning fork, and I do that, and then I use my tuning game.

9
00:00:44.455 --> 00:00:52.235
The only thing that is a drawback is that once I get I have all this that I have to coil up and keep track of, which has not been a problem.

10
00:00:52.615 --> 00:00:54.635
But then what do I do with the tuner?

11
00:00:55.095 --> 00:00:57.850
And I have have to move it out of the way when I get to those notes

12
00:00:58.150 --> 00:01:02.250
and, make sure these aren't on here and make sure it doesn't fall off.

13
00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:06.170
There's there's several little things that I adjust to that

14
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:10.405
that are just a little can be a little annoying

15
00:01:11.024 --> 00:01:12.244
or distracting.

16
00:01:13.825 --> 00:01:15.524
So I was really excited

17
00:01:15.985 --> 00:01:16.725
to see

18
00:01:17.265 --> 00:01:21.685
that Dusty Strings had come up with their partnership with Snark Tuners,

19
00:01:22.145 --> 00:01:26.079
who which have been very popular in the mountain dulcimer world and with guitarists,

20
00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:33.359
to create this thing called this the dulcetune, what they call it. It's essentially a snark tuner.

21
00:01:33.979 --> 00:01:35.359
It's on a ball head.

22
00:01:36.645 --> 00:01:37.784
It's on a bendable,

23
00:01:38.325 --> 00:01:40.025
and this is really cool.

24
00:01:42.245 --> 00:01:42.745
Little,

25
00:01:43.685 --> 00:01:46.505
little leg here. It's only about so big.

26
00:01:47.604 --> 00:01:50.104
That fits just like the tuning wrench

27
00:01:50.485 --> 00:01:52.880
over one of your tuning pins.

28
00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:57.659
And that makes the face adjustable so that when I want to tune this note

29
00:01:58.380 --> 00:01:59.920
Well, it looks like I need to tune

30
00:02:00.299 --> 00:02:02.080
this note over here a little bit.

31
00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:06.479
It has the same snark

32
00:02:08.735 --> 00:02:10.035
accuracy and quickness.

33
00:02:10.574 --> 00:02:15.315
Red if it's too low, yellow if it's too high, and green if it's right on.

34
00:02:15.695 --> 00:02:17.535
It has the easy onoff button.

35
00:02:17.535 --> 00:02:22.250
It's out of the way and it fits in the same little pouch that my hammers fit in.

36
00:02:22.790 --> 00:02:28.010
And I do have to move it when I get to that place, but that's the one little movement I need to do.

37
00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:30.490
I'm just really impressed with it.

38
00:02:31.030 --> 00:02:35.110
It comes in a little box like this, but I haven't used that plastic box at all.

39
00:02:35.110 --> 00:02:38.864
I just stick it right in with my cameras in the bag that goes there.

40
00:02:39.245 --> 00:02:40.305
They also provide

41
00:02:40.765 --> 00:02:42.944
a pick if you don't have a fingernail.

42
00:02:45.724 --> 00:02:48.064
And it has a little magnet on it, which can

43
00:02:48.525 --> 00:02:51.430
attach your tuning wrench, or it can attach to the

44
00:02:52.370 --> 00:02:54.150
the the arm of the tuner itself.

45
00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:55.030
I'm

46
00:02:55.569 --> 00:02:56.610
I'm just like it.

47
00:02:56.610 --> 00:03:03.225
So it's another tool that can help us do what we want to do most, which is play and not spend all of our time

48
00:03:03.785 --> 00:03:07.405
tuning. It's unobtrusive. It fits in with all your other things.

49
00:03:08.025 --> 00:03:10.345
I think it fits the bill and I'm pleased with it.

50
00:03:10.345 --> 00:03:15.085
So it may be something that you might be pleased with too. It's available from Dusty Strings.

51
00:03:15.145 --> 00:03:19.340
It's also available at Al Mountain Music and several other retail locations.

52
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.780
So if that might be just the thing that your loved one needs or you want to ask for for

53
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.980
for a special time of the year for you, a birthday,

54
00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:30.777
thank you present, holiday.

55
00:03:31.237 --> 00:03:32.857
Well, there you go. The dulcetune.
