Tune up for B to Bb change

David Cobb · From: Chanute, Kansas, USA

On the top neck, I tune my 5th string B to straight up 440.
I'm wanting to dial in the Bb on my LKV.
What would you recommend for the Bb, cents wise, on the tuner?

Straight up Bb.

That's easy enough.

Here we go again..

Yes if your tuning out beats; than that Bb note would be a 3rd tone on the 7/9 chord; so Jerry is correct at that 438 as that is usually where a beatless 3rd tone ends up.
