I have a turbotuner (http://www.turbo-tuner.com/pages/features.htm). A4 can be set anywhere between 220hz and 880hz. You can put your own temperaments into it, set up "open tunings" for any instrument you please. I have tunings for my viols (including the 7-string) and when I was playing the theorboed LSO at Uconn set two presets, one for the lute open strings, and another for the diapasons. It responds well to lute strings when left on the floor, unless everyone else is playing. Then, any small electret mic (like you can get at radio shack, if they haven't gone totally decadent again) with a 1/4" plug or adapter held near the lute top does a pretty good job of discriminating. ray To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
