Tuba Tuners?

[Charlie C Chowder]

After reading about the only problem with a 186, I checked mine out. But my Boss TU-12 tuner is not up to the job that low. Works great on my barisax though. All of my other tuners are too slow, both the stand alones and the clip on ones that guitar players use. So what are your favorite tuners for tuners for tubas? I have a clip on transducer for the tuner.

Might buy one for Christmas,

Got them both, to slow for real time use. The Boss is instantaneous, or damn close. It works good for checking my tuning on the fly while playing the sax. But it gets confused when I am down low on the tuba.

I have used a Boss TU-12H tuner for about two decades. I find that if I place my tuner about 7-8 feet away from my practice chair, the tuner responds to low pitches more accurately. I also place some pieces sorbothane that I use with audio equipment underneath the tuner to keep it from vibrating. Remember that those wave lengths in the pedal register can be many feet apart (I'm not a physicist, just a tuba player).
