I've been using the Korg OT-12 (about $100 US) for several years with
satisfaction. It offers
different tuning modes: matching a pitch it emits or watching a meter, with the
sounded pitch indicated in
the display. It will do transposed pitches and several temperaments. I use Valotti
(similar to 1/6 comma
meantone) for my lute (g ren lute, A=440), doing some minor adjustments with frets by
ear; and Pythagorean
for hurdy-gurdy. Since it will respond to every pitch, it can be used to set up
frets, as well. It comes
with a clip-on transducer, which works well on the peg box, but I mostly use the
built-in mike which picks
up everything very well.
