WoW!  what can we say! Mark Wilson and the fine folks at Onboard Research havedone it again with an awesome little tuner, the PT10 Mini. We have seenthe prototypes and they are great. The good news is that they will beavailable in just a few days for immediate shipment here at First Quality Music. I got with Mark and asked him to share with us how they came to the new design, here are Mark’s comments:

Competitionkeeps progress flowing, and we have greatly benefited from the influxof lowcost tuners that adopted the clip-on approach to tuning.  We atOnBoard have gotten feedback over the years from thousands of PT1 userswho described the features and capabilities that they liked, as well asthe little things that did not like.  So we decided to design a tunerthat was small and compact, very lightweight, with a very brightbacklight, a clamp that won’t loosen up and fall or get knocked off aninstrument, and nestle it snugly behind the instrument’s headstockwhere it can be seen by the musician but not be distracting to anaudience.

Plus,while we were at IBMA, someone approached us with the idea of a lightthat would change when the string went in-tune, and suggested thisapproach would make tuning faster because the switch in backlightcolors could be seen in peripheral vision, allowing the musician tostay in better contact with the audience during necessary tune-ups.  Weimplemented a design that glows red when out of tune and snaps to greenwhen the string goes into tune, and the effect is stunning.  It reallydoes make tuning easier and faster.

Lastly,although many people prefer the Intellitouch arrow display, we heardfrom other people who expressed appreciation for the traditional needlestyle of display.  Therefore, for the Intellitouch PT10 Mini. we aretipping our hat to the needle displays of the world and offering whatwe believe is the best one available.

Ofcourse, the PT10 Mini comes with OnBoard’s exclusive Lifetime “NoQuestions Asked” Warranty that will apply anytime, for any reason foranyone.

Tightaccuracy, durable, lightweight, attractive, snug, with a lifetimewarranty and priced right: the Intellitouch PT10 “Mini” from OnBoardResearch

DEUTSCH:

Der PT-10 Mini hat ein sehr kleines, flaches    

Gehäuse und ist damit extrem unauffällig.    

Dennoch ist er mit seinem großen Display optimal    

abzulesen. Die Farbe der Displaybeleuchtung    

wechselt von rot = out of tune zu grün = in tune.    

Kalibrierbar von 430 - 450 Hz. Stimmt automatisch    

und chromatisch mit einer simulierten LCD-Nadel-    

anzeige. Auto off-Funktion nach 2 Minuten ohne    

Verwendung. Benötigt eine CR2032 Batterie (inkl.).    

Größe: 52x25x86 mm, Gewicht: 30 g.    

Geeignet für akustische und elektrische Gitarren    

und Bässe, sowie Geigen, Kontrabässe usw., an    

deren Kopfplatte der PT-10 Mini angeklemmt wird.    

Er fühlt den Ton und ist somit unanfällig gegen-    

über lauten Umgebungsgeräuschen.
