Snark turners work for me. Easy, clip on guys, inexpensive and fairly accurate. I changed some of my sticks to light gauge, so now they get out of turn almost immediately.

There's got to be a free app for that?



I've been using an Audio Spectrometer app for my latest project.

I'm trying to create very loud earthquake sounds as part of a stage effect.

Yeah, that's the one DavidWS, thanks for sharing. There are really tons of tuning options, those were just a few of my favs.

I hated that I kept saying stereo instead of dual mono, Emmett would not approve. I think it was more convenient to say stereo instead of dual-mono.

I was thinking dual mono in my heart Emmett <3

Tuning and discussions around are some of my favs because there is way too much content out there with out of tune Chapman Sticks (myself included).

TUNE. Tune again.

Just remember you did it because you are a fundamentally bad person

(FWIW "stereo" and "MIDI pickup" kinda get to me just b/c of the confusion it leads to -- or at least the implicit assumption it makes)

I find my light gauge strung bamboos pretty stable.

The instruments are however always in the same room, with a moderately stable atmosphere (not 'conditioned', but we tend not to be subject to big swings in temp or humidity here - it's always damp & rarely very hot or very cold).

Lots of good choices!
This topic began because i am learning how to read music (something i’ve known most of my life) to be able to get my fingers where they need to go to make that note, or chord (something i have never needed to do).
Tabulature is too seductive. Teaches nothing, no tempo, most of the time. But it allows you to try to play music. Stick will, i believe, require me to play by ear, or read music better. Whatever tabs we may have developed, for stick, is just a tiny bit limited, i think. Too few of us, many of us prefer to actually play 8-) , or try too (that would possibly be me).
The issue became important, to me, when a question came up about which octave a guitar plays. Some anri-social media sites swear it is the second octave. Some say the guitar can handle two octaves. That, it may well do, but the stick can do more. And the answer to my question lies exactly there.
The stick tuning charts help a lot!
The responses here seem to get better every day! I’ve had some of these apps, and did not even realize they did that.
Love this learning curve! And thanks to each of us here!!!

Here are a couple of charts/maps in the same style, including octave numbers, for comparison.
