New features on the SEKSO Toolbar

A couple of new features have been added to the SEK Symphony Browser Toolbar (follow the heading link if you'd like to install). We've added links to two sites, the first an online metronome and A440 tuner, the other a tuning web site utilizing a five-octave keyboard. There are also settings for the string pickers. Selecting "viola/tenor banjo" gives you C G D A buttons, etc., and you can loop through the open strings while tuning. You may also select the timbre of pitches, vary pitch by cents, or transpose by semitones.

The web sites open in a new tab/window, so you don't leave a page you may be on at the time.

So, if you have a laptop, and have it handy while you practice or study, consider the toolbar. It's similar to a Google or Yahoo toolbar, but specific to music study and the web site. It even has a great online radio player, but we've padded it with Classical radio stations.

And where on earth is the tenor banjo section, anyway?
