"The Node Model 8001 chromatic tuner offers professional-level, 12-wheel (one strobe per scale note) strobe tuning at an incredibly affordable price."
INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE. What more do you want?

The 8001 is a fully analog chromatic tuner
Well thank god for that...

We had a pretty old one in the music room in my high school jazz band for the trombones and saxes.

Tuning a trombone has got to be a fun job; maybe do the swanee whistles when you're done?

We had an ancient Peterson in high school band. It was fabulous to watch kids painstakingly tune their saxes to that 0.1 percent accuracy, then still be out of tune because of their terrible instruments.

Pull the slide in until it stops, then tune that note using the tuning slide.
Trombone is the only brass instrument that can play truly in tune.

LOL, but yes, the back end of the trombone slides in and out for fine adjustment in the closed (1st) position. All orchestral "brass" instruments seem to have a tuning slide.
I have no pictures of me playing the trombone, so don't ask.

The same way you have to tune a guitar even though it has frets.

Mine has no frets, but a neck that I retract into the body to play the higher notes.

Retracting the neck into the body would make the notes lower actually.

I always liked Nigel Tufnel's idea for an instructional guitar video. He'd sit behind a curtain and play something, then poke his head out and say "How did I do that?".

It's an analog tuner. So it sounds warmer than that crappy Boss shit.

my tuner doesn't make a sound when I tune . . . .
and that's how I want to keep it.
