I tested the string tuner I had bought by singing at different pitches and trying to find the best possible position where the vibration could be read most easily.
Test Result
- The frequency meter should be positioned close to the centre of the larynx, as this is where the vibrations are strongest. This means that the device does not have to be pressed so hard against the neck.
- Functionality: Detection by vibration basically works, but there are strong fluctuations in the display.
Tone change: When the position of the device was changed, different tones were displayed at different points, although the same pitch was maintained. Half-tones are also recognised. - Sensitivity: The device needs to be more sensitive for smooth use in order to provide more precise results.
- Current use: The device is currently used for string and side instruments.
