How this tuning was derived

Drop D Guitar Tuning (DADGBE)

Drop D lowers the low E string by a whole step to D2, allowing for deep, resonant power chords voiced with a single finger bar across the bottom three strings. It is highly popular in heavy rock, metal, blues, and classical guitar.

Why a strobe beats a needle

A needle answers "what is the average pitch right now?" A multi-harmonic strobe adds an extra layer to the tuning visualization by showing several harmonics at once, so you can fine-tune more confidently to fractions of a cent.
