I at one time could, as I started out in band in 6th grad on trombone, but switched to percussion, where you usually don't need that, and so I forgot that info. Got by with a pitch pipe when I started playing tympani because the director bought one specifically for tympani tuning. Unfortunately, that same pitch pipe has either been lost or broken in my abscence, so I'm back to having to ask my brother (who plays tuba in the band, he's a junior) for pitches before we start songs until I get real familiar with what pitches go with what songs.

A pitch pipe will work just fine.....

Most Tympani is scored in Bass Clef. If you're looking at the staff, start at the bottome LINE (not space). Just the lines going from bottom to top are: GBDFA. Remember, these are just the lines. The spaces between the lines read as follows from bottom to top: ACEG.

This is for Bass Clef. The bass clef kind of looks like a questions mark without the dot (?).

Hope that helps.......

I thought of offerering an optional power driver/tuning key, since my system knows what direction to turn the lug it could clear the lugs under microprocessor control, but you'd still have to point the tuner at each lug and place the power driver on each lug.... but that would make it even more expensive and we already know that's an issue with new technologies.

I'll have to save the fancy gizmos for more expensive commercial versions later.

It's not a scam, I bet it works. But it's clearly overpriced.

After watching the video it seems like a big hassle (and a long process to tune up fully) unless you are recording something that will be released on a very large scale.
