Rob, it is also worth looking at the Peterson tuners which, although more expensive, have a number of features that make them useful. I keep on dropping my Korg OT-12 and the case is now almost in pieces. The Peterson V-SAM II has a rubber 'boot' that certainly protects it if it drops on the floor. Peterson also make a clamp to hold the tuner onto the music stand. The virtual strobe tuning is a delight and I think my lutes are now far better tuned than before. The Metronome is full-featured. It also has a function that allows the metronome sound to be turned off after a certain number of beats. The VSAM II has a number of pre-set temperaments and provides two extra channels for the user to programme in their own offsets. The stated accuracy of the Peterson VSAM is higher than 'needle' or 'LED' tuners and the Peterson website has a number of articles that explains the relevance of this for practical purposes. I have no connection with Peterson, BTW. I am delighted with my VSAM II. (good for rock lute!) Charles
