Built in Frequency reference for EUB   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2855 of 2965 |
After finishing my first 5 prototype wearable EUBs I am scaling up production,
using my circuit that was developed for my electric cellos.  This has a 220Hz A
note tuning fork as used by string orchestras (push button on the bass/cello to
get the reference note for tuning).
Is having a built in A note tuning fork of any value for tuning an EUB?  Or
should I take this out?  If a built in tuning fork is helpful, which note
is preferred?
Any advice is greatly appreciated;.

Hi Marvin That looks great, good luck with your enterprise. I have just added a preamp to my acoustic guitar that has an inbuilt tuner, not something I thought...
