Kratt Pitchpipe, Scale F to F, Chromatic with Note Selector

The Wm. Kratt Company, established in 1926 by William Kratt Sr., is the sole American manufacturer of these precision pitch instruments. Each year, their small team of dedicated craftspeople produce hundreds of thousands of pitch pipes, each one meticulously hand-tuned.

The Kratt MK1-S Chromatic Pitch Pipe, offering a full F to F chromatic scale, is a staple for percussionists and directors. It features 13 hand-tuned bronze reeds and patented tone chambers, meticulously tuned to A-440. The note selector aids pitch identification, even under challenging lighting conditions. The selector also isolates the desired pitch, preventing air leakage to adjacent notes, ensuring accuracy and ease of use. This instrument is ideal for tuning, training or performance.
