This is just a little video to show how the Dusk Tiger tunes itself.

In this shot the guitar initially tunes to standard tuning, which it does by default each time it is turned on (and, yes, one can just tune manually and play if you wish).

The guitar is then set to an Open tuning and strummed. I like accuracy so I have the guitar set so that it re-tunes to accommodate any neck bending when the tuning change is significant

The DPA Microphone is a great addition to the Alpha. It plugs in just beside the breathpipe and includes a mount on a new breath pipe mouthpiece which the mic can clip to.

It is an electret mic for which the Alpha provides the polarizing voltage (the voltage levels can be selected either by belcanto or by the control keys as can the various controls such as vol, pan, effect send, etc)
