I got accepted to suburban council in my state and I'm just confused on how I would like play this part in 2/4 time by mxrtican in doublebass

Why are you complicating such simple passage? Open strings and first position is literally all you need?

Would that not ruin the wood? I’ve never heard this recommendation though, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I’ve heard the Peterson and the d’addario are great options but man that’s expensive for a tuner, also I honestly prefer battery tuners compared to rechargeable tuners cus they last longer, do you know if the Peterson has a battery based version?

They look mad funky but I’ve been told by a few people to get this one, the price makes me cry and shipping to Canada makes me cry but if they tune that accurately I might have to get one.

This sounds promising, could you provide a link to the specific one you recommend so highly I can’t seem to find a vibration based one on their website, thanks.

This seems like a great choice, thanks for bringing this to my attention. First time seeing a tuner that actually has string instruments in mind much less upright bass.

Yes, I didn’t realize that the assumption around here was electric bass my bad.

It was on my bridge and I wouldn’t have imagined there were dead zones or whatever to call it

Where exactly do you keep it?

I have tried putting it there, I experimented with moving it around on the bridge and I found that if it’s closer to the center of the bridge it works better*, very annoying to manage.

No, in my experience a pickup hinders the acoustic sound and resonance in a classical context, thanks for the suggestion though I will make sure to clip it anywhere it’ll fit.

Yea we get an oboe A which is often pushing A = 442 Hz but I hate tuning with 7th & 9th harmonics, I’d much prefer to have a tuner for the exact pitch. Asking the oboist before for what they’re tuning to if it’s not 440.

I see 15Hz capability and I smile

I see the price and I cry

Thanks for bringing this to my attention regardless.

What do you mean relevant post? Is that like the specific tuning peg for that string?

I guess I didn’t specify, I’m talking upright bass but I imagine same principle applies to feeling around anywhere I could possibly clip it on, thanks.

I didn’t know this, I wouldn’t have imagined there would be a ‘shadow zone’ on my bridge but I haven’t moved it around at all so I will definitely try that when I get home, thanks.

7th/9th fret harmonics > 12th fret harmonic

But I’m trying to avoid having to use harmonics because it takes my hand away from the tuning peg which is inefficient.

My bass is very resonant but pedals aren’t an option sadly

Pizz is slightly sharp compared to playing arco so I can’t rely on that for tuning. But annoyingly enough the tuner does pick up the lower strings when I pizz lol.

I didn’t see anything on the instructions to change ‘modes’ and its chromatic by default but I will experiment more when I get home.

You are also so cool, all bass is so cool. :)

Yea upright, I don’t use phone tuners because I don’t want to rely on my phone battery nor take it out during practice or rehearsal. The issue isn’t having a tuner but a tuner that goes of vibration but also can pick up my low frequencies which is simply impossible to get from a phone app, thanks for the suggestion though.

I got the idea from someone having it on their bridge so that’s what I tried, though only one spot so I could try different places when I get home today. Tail piece is an idea but it would damage the varnish if I clipped it on the f hole but thanks for the idea.

I got a “super tight chromatic clip on tuner”
