sound that contains large numbers of overtones or a
sound that has a rapid decay.
The meter may respond to vibrations it picks up from the
environment; however, this will not affect tuning of the
instrument.
Attaching to the instrument and range of motion
The GripTune tunes by picking up the vibrations of the in-
strument.
For the most accurate tuning, be sure to attach the GripTune
to the head stock of your instrument.
In addition, the display can be moved as shown below, so
that it is easier to read.
The GripTune may be damaged if you apply excessive
force within its range of motion, or attempt to move it be-
yond its intended range of motion.
Please carefully attach the GripTune to your instrument.
Leaving the GripTune attached for a long time may dam-
age or mark the instrument's surface.
Depending on various factors such as agerelated change
or the surface finish, there is a possibility that your instru-
ment may be damaged by attaching this product.
