Yamaha YT250 Chromatic Tuner
 January 28, 1999To appeal to the value-conscious musician, Yamaha Corporation of America announces
the launch of the YT250 Auto/Manual Chromatic Tuner at Winter NAMM '99. The new
tuner employs Yamaha innovation to provide features normally found only in more
expensive tuners. Building upon the success of the Yamaha YT150, the YT250 uses
a liquid crystal display to precisely and quickly tune any instrument across eight
octaves. Sharp/flat/in-tune LED indicators also make it remarkably easy to tune
in the dark or from a distance.
The tuner has both a condenser microphone and In/Out jacks, allowing it to
tune virtually any musical instrument in either Auto or Manual mode. A 9-volt
battery is included-unlike many other tuners-and Yamaha provides a 2-year warranty,
twice the industry standard.
"The YT250 tuner gives Yamaha an impressive line of value-oriented tuners when
combined with the YT150," states Dave Ominsky, Accessory marketing manager.
Other features of the new YT250 are a pitch-shift feature that allows off-center
tuning from 435-446 Hz in 1 Hz increments, and a tilt slot in the back of the
tuner so it can be propped up for easy viewing. For more information, visit
