## What is Dobro Tuner Simple?

Simple dobro tuner to tune up your dobro. This is for a standard 6-string dobro in GBDgbd dobro tuning.

Tuning your dobro can be a difficult task for you if you are just beginning dobro. The good news is, the more you do it, the easier it becomes. A nicely tuned dobro can make your music sound a lot better and help you greatly while you're are just getting the hang of finger placement for notes.

Touch the note for the string you want to tune and then turn the tuning pegs on your dobro and match it up with the note that is being played.

Tip: Make several passes tuning each of the strings. For example you might have noticed that if you have tuned all the strings once, and then back to the first one you tuned, it might be off a little bit. This is because you are increasing or decreasing the tension on each of the strings as you tune it and the instrument's body might bend ever so slightly due to this difference in tension. This causes the other strings to slightly change in pitch. So make sure you keep on checking and tuning the strings until all are in tune, so make several passes.

### 1/5 — Is that all I get?

*2021-03-26*

I expected an automatic tuner since I had to pay for it. I feel like I wasted my dollar and still can’t be sure my dobro is in tune.

### 1/5 — No good

*2020-02-12*

It just plays the cord unless you play be ear waste of money

### 2/5 — No

*2018-10-10*

Just plays a tone, doesnt use speaker. In my opinion, junk.

### 5/5 — Easy peasy

*2018-08-24*

Quick and easy to use. I’d recommend to any beginner!

### 5/5 — Worth a dollar.

*2017-05-15*

Helps the beginner learn the correct tune by ear

### 5/5 — Simple Goodness

*2017-02-26*

Does just what is needed.

### 1/5 — Guitar Tuner with Resonator background

*2014-10-19*

This is just a simple (but not a good!) guitar tuner and NOT a resonator guitar/ dobro tuner. No open tunings, just standard guitar tuning (e - a - d - g - b - e). Not cool! There’s just a picture of a cheaper Fender resonator guitar used as background. I’m very disappointed and want my money back! If possible I would give NO star! :(

### 1/5 — Dobro? Really?

*2013-10-14*

What makes this Dobro tuning is not clear to me.
Seems like regular guitar tuning. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2011-02-02*

App does not work!!!

### 1/5 — Not worth your dollar

*2010-11-15*

When I bought this app I assumed there would be more tunings like open G, C etc. This app is not worth a buck!
