Re: Snare Tuning
I also use the Tune-Bot and its well worth the expense. When you are tuning - no matter which head you start with, just make sure you have the same "tone" at each of the 8 or 10 tuning rods - and as was mentioned... too tight on the reso will choke the drum ... too loose and you get a dull thud sound. The Tune-Bot will make it so much easier to get you close to where you can make small adjustments. I usually start with 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns on the Reso head tuning rods and then check it with the Tune-Bot and make slight adjustments, usually tighter by 1/16th to 1/8th turns until I get the tone I want. Just another suggestion
