A lot of people use the Korg OT120, myself included, and it is a good buy for a lot of reasons. You can tune in an orchestral setup, with a lot of ambient noise. It does have some drawbacks, specifically the lack of ability to program a temperament. For example, I use Neidhardt, Ordinaire, Meantone and Handel's Temperament, yet only meantone and "ET" appear on the box. Accuracy is not as good as the old MT1200, but still reasonably good. Good, not great. You may want to consider the "sleeper" Korg LCA120 as it has a programmable function, zoom metering and a clamshell design. Very useful for certain situations, eg when the tuner cannot tune ordinaire, etc. However, no sensitivity modes, and doesn't play at 370--a dealbreaker for me. The OT120 is the budget standard. Expect to pay a pile more for a real tuner. For keyboard, the MT1200 is satisfactory in tone mode, not meter mode. Remember to use your tuner in tone mode--the meter is not only inaccurate, but will ruin your ear. Think of using the meter as a shot of whiskey (but less fun) and the tone tuning as a good sudoku or crossword. Favorite line "I can't tune because my battery died" Almost as good as the line from the breakfast chef my last tour: "I'm sorry sir, we cannot make you an egg: the egg cooker is broken." dt
