What a delightfully elegant drawbar tuning contraption!

Man, I want that rig. Saves a lot of time putting the reed plates back on the comb to tune.

[@vincemincevince]

That is brilliant

[@jillsorbera963]

Wow how cool is that to hear that beat ?

[@benmarks7131]

Hi Roger. He uses an app called Cleartune Chromatic Tuner. I think it costs 3 or 4 bucks.

[@Raglafart101]

[@darrylthon1697]

you are showing the tuning for "sucking" or INhaling.....how do you tune for "blow" or exhale?.........

[@norfolknwhey4787]

Inhale or blow, the reed doesn’t care. It’ll sound either way when placed reed side up on the machine.
