I have owned a Superscope 207LP for almost 30 years. Due to changes in technology, I finally had to replace the unit. Because the old Superscope provided so much assistance for my students, and for me as a musician and teacher, I needed another machine that would provide the same, or even better. I investigated a variety of brands, but my ultimate decision was made due to the facilities provided by the Superscope 340.

The Superscope 340 is just what I needed. I don’t need to carry microphones with me as the inbuilt mic is so sensitive and the output of the inbuilt speakers are more than adequate.

My young clarinet students, who always play ‘flat’, can now play with the CD accompanying their tutor book due to the ability of the Superscope to reduce pitch without changing tempo. I can use the inbuilt tuner to make them aware of how flat they are performing and use it as a tool to get them to correct their embouchure to reach A440 in their performance and to correct their intonation.

My Kip McGrath Education Centre senior students now use the Superscope as a facility for proof reading, whilst the juniors are using the Superscope to record their reading. My maths students are using it to record the times tables and loop their recording so that they can listen to their own recording of the tables over and over again in the car. They appreciate their own voice rather than the ‘corny’ sung tables available on the commercial market.

For me, the 340 is wonderful! I am saying this without investigating its full potential - such as line in, external mic, etc. There are so many facilities available on this very compact machine that can assist students, musicians and teachers of a variety of disciplines.
