Tim, Re: Ronn's tuner. He may have had something like the Intellitouch tuner clamped on the peg head. A quick search on eBay for 'lute tuner' in musical instruments should get you a look at it. It would surprise me if WoodWind & BrassWind didn't have some of these, too. Cheers, Steve

I bought a clip-on pickup that plugs into the input jack on the tuner, which I've found to be very helpful, especially when my teacher and I are tuning up right before a lesson. The tuner no longer picks up his lute when I'm trying to tune mine. I just clip the pickup on the peg-head, although it works equally well if I just clip onto a peg key. The CA30s are cheap enough that I will probably buy a second one to keep in the case with my new lute when it's finished. I remember at the 2002 LSA conference sitting slightly behind and to the side of Ronn McFarlane as he performed (it was a packed room) and seeing red lights blinking on the back of the peg-head of his lute. It took me a bit to figure it out, but he must have had a very compact tuner attached to or embedded in the peg head, which I thought was really cool. I wonder what kind it was?
