I already gave you feedback, (above) - but you want more?

Ok, how about a downloadable version so we don't have to go on-line just to tune up and then get caught in the web and distracted from playing

well....
Good idea :airguitar:

Hi!
I just tried the tuner, and it works just fine!!

I like it.. Thanks Arab instruments : )

Arab Instrument - 1-31-2010 at 08:50 PM

Thank you
If you have more tuning options for this oud tuner i am willing to try add them to the tuner.

Thanks

High Arabic tuning would be handy, - F A d g c f - many people use it and it would save having to swap between Iraqi and Arabic on the tuner just to get the high f.

Thanks Assaf, for being open to suggestions from the people who will actually be using the program, greatly appreciated.

Luttgutt - 2-1-2010 at 05:10 AM

I use B EE AA DD gg cc ff :-)

It would be grate if you can add that one too, so I won't have to swich between Arabic, Iraqi and Turkish!

Thanks again!!

p.s. I don't think the D is in tuned!? anybody else felt that?

Arab Instrument - 2-2-2010 at 04:05 AM

Dear Luttgutt

What do you mean by : B EE AA DD gg cc ff
How many strings are you using?

P.S
We have changed the D, please clean your cache and check if you are getting different sound.

P.S
I have added the option: F A d g c f

Thanks

Luttgutt - 2-2-2010 at 04:14 AM

Hi Arabinstrument!

I have 13 strings, 7 course ouds B E A D g c f

P.s. I'll check the new D tuner in the evening!

Very nice of you, thanks again!!

Sazi - 2-2-2010 at 07:35 PM

In the High Arabic tuning the A is higher than the D! it should be in the lower octave, same as the A in the standard Arabic tuning.

Something not quite right about those high F's too, like one string in the pair is a bit flat?

Arab Instrument - 2-2-2010 at 09:04 PM

Well
I have replaced the A like in standard Arabic tuning.
please clean your cache and check if you are getting a different sound.

I didn't find any problem with the F

The tuner can have up to 12 strings right now so adding another one will be some problem at this point.

Thanks

Well going up from the low F to the high f it sounded flat to me, but after checking with an accurate tuner I find that it is actually 2.2 - 2.7 cents sharp, the reason it sounded flat to me is that the high C reads consistently around 10 cents sharp, and just to complete the story, the new D is around 4 cents sharp, the G is 3 cents sharp. The low C and A are fine, the low F was about the same amount sharp as the high F, around 2.2 cents.

Personally it doesn't bother me much as I don't use equal temperament anyway, but I imagine anyone using your on-line oud tuner would find they are a bit out of tune sounding unless they tweaked it afterwards.
