Metronome/Digital Tuners

Fiddleheads Violins can order in most metronomes and tuners available on the market, but I've found a product that fulfills both needs for half the price. The only metronome and digital tuner we keep stocked regularly is the Intelli Parksons IMT-202 which four both tools in one.

Barcus Berry Pulse/ Intelli/ Parksons IMT-204 Metronome & Digital Tuner

Product Review by Rhiannon Schmitt, Fiddleheads Owner and Violin Instructor

Note: The IMT-204 is produced for Intelli, Parksons, Meisel, Barcus Berry and Speed from the same manufacturer. I currently have models by Barcus Berry and they are the exact same product with the exception of the name decal. We used to sell the 202, but the 204 has the added pitch pipe playback function

 

This essential music tool is 4 gadgets in 1.

Why buy a tuner, metronome and pitch producer when you can have all in one for the same price? This compact tool is smaller than a pack of cards and has so many options, I have made it the only metronome or tuner I keep in stock.

 

Chromatic Tuner Features

- A=430 to A=449 calibration for modern or period music. (N. America tunes to A=440, Europe tunes to 441-442).

- Wide tuning Range: A0-B7

- Use two visual aids for a quick and accurate tune: A simulated needle meter on the large, widescreen LCD or an LED light that changes from yello when flat, green for "in tune" and red to indicate sharp.

- An excellent ear training aid for violin and other pitch-sensitive instruments: Practice playing slow scales, exercizes and pieces in absolutely correct pitch.

- 8-octave tuning range effective for all pitch instruments

Guitar Tuner Features

- Same as the Chromatic feature, but only tunes EADGBE and eliminates confusion for string players.

- Also very useful for violin or bass.

- Flashing LED light and simulated pendulum on screen for two visual cues.

- Loud wood block and crisp chime tone, may be muted. Crisp digital tones in two pitches also indicate down and up-beats

I've been meaning to tell you that [my son] loves his tuner. He was very excited when it tried tuning his fart... apparently it decided on a G. - Anonymous parent of a player
