My old tuner finally broke last week, so I went to a local music store in my town and purchased a Seiko tuner. My choice was either the Seiko or the Korg. IO chose the Seiko over the Kork, because it is bigger & has a larger VU meter, and therefore easier to read. It is fully chromatic, and has all the same features that Steven has listed.
