Edge? Lews? Anyone?

[bassistuvdoom731]

In a nutshell, what note is A0?

In an ad for a tuner, it mentioned being able to detect any note from A0 to
C8, or something along those lines. I never knew of this notation before, and knowing the notes would help with a little project I'm working on.

All i need is the pitch of one note, A0, and I'll be fine from there. So is A0 the open A on a bass? and octave below? something else?

Help please. :wave:

and all those numbers mean...

[bassistuvdoom731]

So if i understand correctly A0 is an octave below open A?

yes.

if you drop-tuned the B string on a 5er, youd have A0.


and im very surprised to be asked for by name.

those are the frequencies in Hz of each note.

the commas are like decimal points. Europeans have a funny way of doing things, thats all.

:lol: yea, both you and edge tend to be the first to give me good advice when it comes to gear and the more techincal stuff, so you two are the first I look too.

thanks for the help.
