At first I thought it was a power soak, but as it was found out it's a tuner.

What's a tuner?

I believe this is actually a sea bass, but it's a similar concept...
You twang the strings randomly and women worship you. Or is it men? I can never remember..

golly guys ...... com'n ..... it's a strobe.
I know I'm a piano tuner but have strobes really died away so much that people don't recognize them?
Holy crap I'm old ............ next stop ........................... death!
Well shit ........ I need a beer.
ah .......... better!
It's ok. At my ripe, old age of 19, I was able to successfully identify it. Hope that makes you feel better!

That's only because your eyes are better than most of the old farts here!

The strings are intentionally that loose to hit the sub audio fundamentals. It has something to do with subliminal messaging...

I didn't think that strobe tuners were really all that outdated. I used to see them in high schools and colleges. In my last year of college (ended earlier this june), we still had a strobe tuner in the band room. I used it on occasion if I'd forgotten my own tuner.

Oh thanks.
So is there something better about a strobe tuner than most other $20 or so electronic tuners out there?

Yes it's analog and so by default much much better than anything digital and endows warmth to your tuning rather than sterile tuning digital tuners provide

Ohhhhh
I assumed tuning is tuning and what you tune on doesn't matter 
So, does that effect overall tone or something?
Are they worlds apart?

Haha just messing with you!
Strobes are supposed to give you a VERY exact tuning, and their margin of error is extremely small, but other than that, nothing special really! I'd stick with a cheap tuner anyday!
