Question 1

Is there a preset for dobro?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure exactly what you mean by preset. There are 2 sweetened tunings specifically for dobro, and if you don't want a sweetened tuning you just select the standard (equal temperament) tuning. It just shows you what note you are closest to regardless of how you have your dobro tuned. I used the USB interface to remove all tunings except equal, so I don't have to worry about getting it in a funny mode by fat-fingering the tiny buttons that are all jammed up next to each other (still a sore point with me!).

Question 2

Can this be used to tune a diatonic harmonica?

Accepted Answer

The clip tuner responds to vibration, so if think you can actually hold a steady note on a harmonica the tuner will read it... the challenge for you will be reading it while it’s clipped on the harmonica. Next, you’re going to have lots of fun tweaking your reeds to accommodate your playing style... good luck with this project! I would suggest an app called ClearTune for your phone, then you can see the notes as you play them on your phone, before spending money on the Petersen. Good luck!

Question 3

willl this work on a pedal steel my stroboflip  led screen died and i dont have the money for a new one?

Accepted Answer

It works well on my steel (2003 Sierra U12) in 90% of circumstances but sometimes has trouble finding the note quickly on stages that have loud subwoofers beneath. But highly recommended anyway!

Question 4

How do I tune it to have a European violin and an acoustic guitar among all the instruments??

Accepted Answer

Violins are in the preset list along with lots of acoustic guitars. It can also be programmed with custom tunings for anything I could imagine doing with a clip-on tuner. If you're serious about getting this you need to go to the Peterson website and download its manual so YOU can figure out what it does and how it does it. Be sure to find information on Peterson Connect to learn about custom tunings and how those are done.
