So I always thought you couldn't tune with a capo on, but the Roadie tuners
have a special mode for this, so apparently they think it's good enough.
Take care,

Just wondering when it comes to tuning if others have the same problem
that I do when using a capo. No matter how I position it, once on I always
have to re-tune a guitar, and I’m sure that can’t be good for the strings
to be tuned behind the pressure of a capo.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for explaining how you are able to navigate the menus. That sounds
promising. Also, good point about the impact of how hard a string is
plucked with respect to how Talking tuner might hear the sound.
All the best,
Vince

No worries. They're great pieces of kit.
My wife and I are both using Roadie 2's, and we both use them without
looking at the screens. Me because I can't, and Claire because she can't
see the screen from more than 6" or so.
I know of at least one blind person using a Roadie 3. The menus don't wrap
or remember, that is the same number of button presses or jog wheel clicks
will take you to the right place. If you forget, or you're worried you've
gone too far, or not enough, you can go back to the start by hitting the
button or jogging the wheels more than you know you need to.
When you come out of each menu, your position in the menu you've left is
not remembered, so you can go back into it and be placed at the beginning
once again.
Take care,
Chris Norman

Hi Chris,
Thanks for suggesting the Roadie automatic tuner. I just checked a video
review for the Roadie 3 and learned the unit uses an LCD screen for
displaying menu options. Do you know if the tuner can be used without
having to see the LCD? I.e. are the button press patterns easy enough to
memorize in order to indicate you want to use the tuner function and to
indicate which string is to be tuned? Since the tuning / winding is
automatic, it would be a problem if the unit was twisting the B string peg
thinking it was the thick A string😊.
If this could be operated without sight, I would definitely purchase it.
Best,
Vince

Hi,
I'm guessing you mean the Roadie. Without knowing the particular ins and
outs of the harp, I'd say drop them an email. They're very good at replying.
My best guess would be you'd have to create your own instrument preset in
the app, then add each individual string on whatever tuning is used by your
instrument.
Their mantra is "If it's got strings, the Roadie will tune it", so you
should put it to the test.
Take care,
Chris Norman

I play harp. I would love to use this thing. Would it work for harp? How
does it work? How would we use it?
