The pitch on a Crosley record player should be set to 33 1/3 revolutions per minute (RPM) for most records. This is the standard speed for most records, and it will ensure that the music is played at the correct speed and pitch.
To set the pitch on a Crosley record player, there is typically a pitch control knob or switch. This knob or switch will allow you to adjust the speed of the platter, which will in turn adjust the pitch of the music.
To set the pitch to 33 1/3 RPM, simply turn the pitch control knob or switch to the “33” setting. If your record player has a strobe disc, you can use it to verify that the platter is spinning at the correct speed.
If you are playing a record that is meant to be played at a different speed, such as a 45 RPM record, you will need to adjust the pitch control knob or switch accordingly.
Here are some tips for adjusting the pitch on a Crosley record player:
- Make small adjustments to the pitch control knob or switch. Small adjustments will help to ensure that you do not overshoot the correct pitch.
- Use the strobe disc to verify that the platter is spinning at the correct speed. The strobe disc will appear to be standing still when the platter is spinning at the correct speed.
- Play a track that you know well and listen to the pitch. If the pitch is too high or too low, adjust the pitch control knob or switch accordingly.
Once you have adjusted the pitch to your liking, you can start playing your record. Enjoy the music!
