The other day when my harp's neck snapped (that's another story entirely) and I had to quickly dig out a small practice harp I had tucked away in its warm fuzzy carry bag, I realized I was going to have to tune this puppy every day for a while because it had been out of service for a while.
I left my tuner at work where the snapped harp had discombobulated me entirely. At home, I wondered if I was up to tuning by ear - when a friend mentioned that he had a very easy to use and accurate chromatic tuner on his iPhone called Cleartune.
I downloaded it and wow! It lets me quickly and accurately tune up anything using the iPhone's mic. And the app site says it's availble on Android too.
The app features a wheel which quickly finds the note you're plucking and shows you just how close or far you are from being perfectly in tune.
After tuning my practice harp I started poking around t the other features, some of which I probably will never use, but wow again. It supports custom temperaments, transposition and you can adjust the calibration.
I can't imagine an instrument that could not use Clearune. I love it. Best few dollars I spent recently, well, except for that Tall Latte.
