Intelli Chromatic Tuner IMT-500 Problem. If you don't still have the destruction manual. Intelli IMT500 Clip-on Chromatic Digital Tuner for Strings. The Intelli IMT-500 clip on chromatic tuner is designed to tune electric and acoustic guitars. Intelli IMT301- Five in one Digital Metronome. The Intelli IMT 500 & IMT-900 tuners are packed with.
Following up on an earlier thread, good tuners (I received my Intelli IMT 500 a few days ago. This tuner is 1/3 the size and the price of the Intellitouch tuner, more accurate and responsive. The needle is damped so there's very little oscillation, the screen is much easier to read.
I found it as accurate as my Sabine 9000 tuner/metronome with a clip-on mic, but easier to use and faster to respond. My only complaint is that it did not come with a protective case. I don't know how it will stand up to the inevitable floor bounce test, and I don't know how good the customer support will be, for that matter. I got mine for $19.95 plus a steep $6.95 s/h from Sharmusic. I've just ordered a couple more, and they're out of stock.
Let's hope that the nice folks at Intellitouch see this as a challenge to come up with something comparable. Whoa mamma, these are great. I've always tuned from a pitch pipe, and between a likely error in hearing the pipe and in hearing the string sing it's easy to wander off pitch on a couple of the strings. #With this unit it's strike the string, look at the meter, and adjust.
#Even for me, with no electronic tuner experience, I managed to get the battery in, turn it on, and use and understand it immediately with no instruction (which is just as well, since no printed instructions come with it.) Ordered online Wed. AM, UPS delivered Thurs. #$22 for the unit, 8.50 to ship [they don't give you any choice of method - UPS ground only.] The unit arrived packed in many styro peanuts in a ridiculously large box. #Maybe since they [Metropolitan Music] ship so many instruments they just have a standard super-packaging policy for everything. In any case, I'm delighted.
Another vote for that little unit. I don't know who is doing the original manufacturing, but they are being sold in this country under a variety of brand names. I got mine at Bob Gollihur's bass emporium. He calls it a 'Korg,' but it all of the marking and label info says, 'Meisel.' In any case, it's easily my favorite tuner.
It's small, quick, accurate, and really easy to see on stage. And I really prefer the needle meter over little blinking LEDs or those annoying arrows on the Intellitouch. I used to prefer the Boss TU-12 for studio work and quiet gigs and the Intellitouch for noisy gigs, but this Meisel seems to work so well that it's the only one I use. There was a long discussion about the merits of this and other tuners over on the Acoustic Guitar 'Guitar Talk' boards recently, and this tuner had a lot of fans there, too. I just ordered one from Metro. Music and got this reply. It looks like they have a new shipment coming in.

'By the way, if you get one and it makes a rattling sound when left on the headstock, it can be fixed in about 10 minutes. Programma dlya rascheta shesteren 1. What is actually vibrating are those three buttons you push to turn it on and change settings. You need a very small Phillips head screw driver to take it apart and then you need to put something in the corners of the housing where the back of the buttons are.
For the price I didn't mind fixing this annoyance. There is really not much to this tuner after looking inside. I imagine that a few knock-offs of these will come along soon.' OK, OK I guess curiosity got to me and I ordered a Intelli of of eBay and got it for $29.95 and $4.95 shipping. Now I have two Intelletouch tuners and they work pretty good. Great for noisey dimly lit jams. I think that using an Intellitouch is easier the more you use it as I watch new users stuggle to tune with it and ones who have had one for a while have no problem.
