Late Tuesday I purchased the D-Tuner. Early Wednesday it shipped. Friday it is here! I was not expecting it till next week some time since it was West to East Coast shipping.
It installed in about 10 minutes at most, and that was being careful about it. Once installed I thought the tuner felt a little looser than I expected it should, but after the string tension was on it felt right. There is no learning curve to speak of. Use the regular tuner knob to tune to E and the drop the lever and tune the thumb screw to D (or whatever). I went back and forth with the tuning a few times and once set it seemed to stay tune pretty good in both positions. I'll get around to checking it with a tuner, but the ear says it works.
So I look forward to quicker transitions between songs and moreso eliminating that occassional oops when I switch guitars back to the HDT start playing and realize too late the last song was drop D and the current one is not. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this (more than once).
