Would the "not even" strings be good for drop c and drop b tuning?

These are regular slinkys, but the "not even slinkys" are specifically built for drop tuning. You may still get some flubbing on a low B, but if you do, just get a thicker gauge of string.

Yes. You can use the chromatic mode to tune any string to any note frequency. All you need to know is what each string should be tuned to for drop D (or any other tuning). If you do not know the notes then it is a good idea that you learn them :)

Hi Brad, That is a good question. I purchased mine primarily because it is a chromatic tuner and I do play in Drop D and DADGAD. The tuner is quite good with those tunings but I have not tried out the accuracy in open C or below.

i don't think you tuned it properly... do not apply too much tension, especially when tuning new strings. after all the stock strings are not good so get a set of good strings and start playing!

No but I have them for a 6 string, a dobro, two ukuleles and a banjo. It conforms to the headstock so it shouldn't be a problem.

I've used it on the traditional E, A, D, and G strings of a bass, but I must say, I've never tried to tune that low B with this tuner.

If the strings are not holding tune and the adjustment knobs are not moving then the strings need to be replaced. Download jamPlay app. It has a tuner that works well.

No the strings won't be tuned I'd advise in getting a tuner especially since it being new strings they won't stay tuned for long. But eventually they stay tuned.

These are great strings and I think you have your answer below. It does take a long time to get new strings to stay in tune, though. Get a tuner and tune it every time you pick it up. Keep your old strings as back up, but, you'll never use them. Aquila is worth buying. You can take your uke to a music store. I bet they'd be happy to assist. Have fun and check out all the youtube tutorials. They are very helpful, too.

They are a little better than the stock MIM tuners, but I wish I would have just went with the shcallers. Dont get them if you think they will keep you from tuning. You will still have to constantly retune your guitar. Tuning stability comes more from your nut than the tuning pegs. They are a step up from the stock tuners, just make sure you tune your guitar with slack in the string. Pull through tight and then pull string back about one fret. Lock the tuner, then tighten slowly giving yourself a nice downward rotation.

I have had the best luck with the Medium and Light Medium strings. I had a buzzing sound on my high strings and by mixing medium and light strings, was able to resolve my problem. For your situation, I would recommend the medium strings.

Absolutely. I play a 5-string bass and it is the best tuner I have ever used. You can even use it to check the harmonics to see if they need adjusted. It will display any note that you strike fretted or open and some if it is in tune. Also it is the best mute switch I have used. No poping noise when pressing the footswitch. You will love it.

I think i know what your asking. and i believe this is all you need to be able to tune what ever you shall be putting it on. all it does is tension the string tighter or loser therefore getting your different tones. hope that helped

Haven't had the need to lower them. I usually play it in open G tuning or double drop D for some authentic southern delta blues so using a slide on it the string height works for me! Your best bet would be to google or YouTube it and see.. im sure there is a way you could shave thebridge but you would have to make sure you do it in a way you still have your radius of the neck in line with the bridge!

I asked my son. I bought these strings for him. He indicated that he wouldn't recommend attempting to tune up as the metal is softer than other strings, although he said that he liked the sound. The strings didn't last long for him.

Yep, standard tuning. You can tune it differently though - for example "G" tuning: DGBE, like the bottom strings of a guitar, and "D" tuning: ADF#B. There are a few other ukulele tunings that sound pretty interesting too.

I play in a string band and it handles my fiddle (high end) and our stand up bass (low end) just fine. Not sure how that low B will be. It's a solid tuner. Our guitar players have Boss tuners and they are switching to the Korg.
