Just read the Bill Prindle's article in the Journal about the Peterson AutoStrobe tuner. Although I use the SAT II (and don't mind the "blinking lights"), If it goes south, however, I'm out of work while it's in the shop, so lately I have been considering buying a backup machine. The article speaks well of the Peterson. I like its automatic note step-up, the simplicity of setting the stretch and especially the price. Bill doesn't mention it, but I assume it does not have a battery and would require a long extension cord in my case. Has anyone else had experience with this machine? Would it make a good backup, or is there a better solution? I would appreciate any input. Phil Ryan PTG Associate
