How much should I pay for a decent pitch pipe for a guitar?

Answer 1

A pitch pipe for a guitar can cost anywheres from $5.00 to $30. However, you would be by far better off purchasing an in-expensive electronic guitar tuner. Most have a built in mic for use with an acoustic guitar, if that's why you want a pitch pipe. Decent electronic tuners can be had for as little as $15 and up nowadays. Why use iffy pitch pipe tuning when you can have digital precise tuning for under 20 bucks.

Answer 2

Pitch pipes are dirt cheap - 3-5 dollars. But I'd recommend spending the extra money for a digital tuner, which is about $30.

Answer 3

no more than 10 for a pitch pipe, though i'd recommend the extra 5-10 bucks to get a good tuner.

Answer 4

I found that a tuning fork works better. Pitch pipes give a differnet sound as to the harder you blow on them. Get a tuning fork in teh note of "A" . Strike the frok on your knee and touch it to the guitar body. This will give you a clear tone to tune the "A" string and then you can tune the other strings to that "A"

Answer 5

You can get a good one for around$ 20.00 Check out Musicians Friend.com or your local music store. I use a Korg GA-30 which I got for the above mentioned price. It works very well and you can use it on Acoustic or electrics. By the way it's a digital tuner which also has the note sounds if you want to use them.
