Sabine Zip-1000 Chromatic Autotuner and Zipbeat-3000 Metronome

January 28, 1999 -- Keeping the beat and playing in tune has never been so easy or affordable. Sabine proudly announces the ZIP-1000 Chromatic AutoTuner - big brother to the highly successful ZIP-700 Guitar and Bass Tuner; and the ZIPBEAT-3000 - the newest, smallest and most affordably priced metronome.

Sabine's ZIP-1000 Chromatic AutoTuner provides an easy-to-use tuning display and advanced tuning algorithm. It automatically senses and displays the pitch of the string you are tuning, providing handsfree operation. The ZIP-1000 tunes all open-string instruments and can be used to tune most musical instruments and voice.

Rough and ready, the ZIP-1000 replaces the delicate meter-and-needle display found on many tuners with a rugged, easy-to-read, solid-state LED array. The ZIP-1000 grabs the note fast and holds the note longer for easy and accurate tuning on or off the stage.

The 12-note, full range chromatic ZIP-1000 can be calibrated to other pitches - useful for tuning your guitar or bass to instruments that tune to pitches other than A=440, and for tuning to alternate scales.

The ZIP-1000 uses a built-in microphone or 1/4" jacks. It comes with a 9-volt battery included, a 2-year warranty - and all for only $34.95!

The ZIPBEAT-3000 offers valuable features previously found only in far more expensive metronomes. The ZIPBEAT-3000 is adjustable from 40 to 208 beats per minute, and has accented downbeat, a tone generator, a 3-stage volume control, power-off memory of previous settings, free earphones & batteries included, and a 2-year warranty - all for only $19.95!

The ZIPBEAT-3000 is the perfect size for fitting into small band cases - yet has a large 20-LED display with realistic pendulum motion for easy viewing.

Sabine also manufactures the ZIPBEAT-6000 Metronome, the industry standard STX-1100 and STX1500 Chromatic AutoTuners, the innovative AX-2000 Contact AutoTuner and the RT-1601 Rack Tuner.
