I am considering a Korg DTR Tuner and have
come upon two different models. The DTR 1
And DTR 2. Can anyone help me determine
which one is best suited for steel guitar,
i.e., most accurate, which one is the most
expensive, etc.
thanks,
Jim |

You will be upset with yourself if you go for anything less than the DTR-1 !!!!
Eventho,it may cost a tad more, It's well worth the money.
I've had one for a few years now and It is the envy of every group I played with.
Beats those little hand-helt devices hands down. |

Not everybody uses rack mounted tuners.
Considering previous threads on this great Fo'rum, there seems to be quite a few using those handheld deepvices clamped on the legs.
Budget's the boss....  [This message was edited by CrowBear Schmitt on 16 June 2002 at 02:02 PM.] |

| I had a DTR2 at first, took it back and got a DTR1. The reason is I could tune my other guitars on stage EZ. I am now setting up a back up rack, that one will live with a DTR1, unless someone gives me the other. The feature on the more expesive one are good and useful if you are a working musician, ie: playing in a band,etc. IF not, then ----????? |

| IMHO, the Sabine RT series is worth a look. I've got the RT7000(the cheap one)about 149.00, and I like it better than the Korgs. Big display, strobe or meter type tuning, and easier to see for an old coot like me. |

| Stephen, who carries it?? I have never seen them at Guitar Center nor in Musician's Friend's catalog. There must be a web site, I'll do a search. [This message was edited by Steven Knapper on 18 June 2002 at 06:25 AM.] |

Steven, Musician's Friend carries them, as wellas my new favorite, Jackson music. Musician's friend has them on their website, and Jackson can be reached at 1-800-616-5390.
They're good folks, and will try to beat ANYBODY'S prices. You can see the tuner on the Sabine website. God bless! |

| I have had a DTR-1 for a long time now. I really love it. The only complaint I have ever heard is the price. |

Good stuff has it's price.....
Have you looked at the new "MSA" ???
At $6,000+, It's a machine not everyone may wish to purchase. Likewise, the DTR-1 is a top-notch unit. To be trueful, I would just as soon have it as a "Peterson".
