I tuned for years by ear have have had decent toms and good snare and bass sound. However I recently got a Tunebot and it is actually useful, not so much in dialing in a head but in getting all your heads in the proper intervals as well as repeatable tuning. I now have my whole kit tuned to fourths (6 piece) and have the perfect pitch bend on each tom. So tension tuners I wouldn't bother but the Tunebot has a place though nothing makes up for your ear ever.

I see no benefit in spending money on a device that by all accounts from those who use them is.... "good at getting you close, but you still have to fine tune by ear".......why not just learn to do it yourself from the outset?.
From what I've read here, once you learn how to use the thing, it seems that the Tune Bot is the way to go, compared to the DD.
Hi thanks all for the reply. How much did you pay for the tune bot as not is australia as yet and cant see on ebay. i understand its only in the guitar centre shops in the states for the moment. Your the second person who has mentiond it and would like price and any other info with opinion cheers.

Weird - to order tunebot from MF and ship to the UK works out cheaper than ordering it from absolutemusic.co.uk. At least £15 cheaper.
