Good Morning, I received the tuner yesterday. I took it out for test drive right away. It works well! It was very easy to set up and start using. I like that I’m able tune my drones accurately. I think your instruction video is full of great advice! Thanks Ross

Great video, so glad I stumbled across this! Ordering it today!

[ParkingLotPiper]

Thanks Jori. You mentioned that you and other excellent players like your high A to be a little flat. Why is that? Thanks!

[mattwells-gkjm]

I just received mine. Maybe something to consider is the different types of phone cases out there, the receiver plug is a wee short. I ordered an extension so I don't have to remove my case. I'm sure the product performs well. Best!

[robertreal]

This is a game changer!! Works extremely well!!

[fionahill-heaton]

Really appreciate yr video, clear instructions, clear explanations & I’ll definitely go through the rest of yr videos. Thanks!

Hi can you get this tuning aid in the uk as shipping is quite expensive thanks

[deekhc]

Hi - great tuner - do you have a U.K. / Scottish outlet to buy the tuner?

[williamtaylor]

Can’t use this on iPhone. Is there an attachment to fit?

[richardhendren]

Jori, how much of a difference does the mic make? I have used the Braw tuner for a couple years and find it a great tuning tool using the mic on my iPhone.

[lesleyfinch]

What if I have an older phone with the micro connecter?

[SorenErikLarsen]

Hi Jori, looking forward to try the mic. 🙂

[ricbrunelli]

Hi. I received today. Looking forward to use it. Grazie. Hope it’s easy …. Ciao ciao

[thomasboyd]

i think this is going to help me a lot looking forward to trying it

[johnlennie]

I see the mic, on the chanter, unlike the drones, is not at the end of it, but up behind or in front of it - is there a preferred position for the mic on the chanter in relation to the end of it? TIA

[DavidDanks-ls]

Do you have to buy or pay for the braw tuner app?

**All fixed - Thanks Jori for your help. This such a terrific tool for pipers. Its my new best friend!
My InTune Mic arrived, what a terrific device for tuning by yourself. But I am having a technical problem, and I think its a setting in my phone. I have an OPPO A74 android phone. When I plug the receiver into my phone, the receivers light doesn't come on and of course wont connect to the mic. If I leave the receiver plugged into my phone and run the charging cable from the receiver to a power source, the receivers' light comes on and it connects to the mic. Therefore the receiver is not getting power/charging from my phone. Has anyone had this problem? I feel like there would be a setting on my phone that I have to change to allow the receiver to connect and charge with my phone. Any ideas??
