You are welcome, Clinton. I play Seagull too. You don't have to move it much. Usually from one corner to the other. I have even mounted it between the tuners from time to time. And the tip on picking lighter, with just a finger tip even, works pretty well.

Spaw, for the most part background noise has no effect on this tuner. My guess is that Clinton will come back very pleased with the performance of this tuner. The only time that background noise ever affected mine was when I was right in front of the feckin' bass player, and he was monkeying around with sustain and volume. He was SO loud that the vibration screwed me up. Mind you, it wasn't normal loudness, he was being a smart ass. Other than that, I have never had a problem with noise, because this thing doesn't have a mic in it. It senses vibration in the headstock. Works wonderfully onstage. And I can tune a 12 string in about 15 to 20 seconds.

All the best,

Mick
