Re: [Harp-L] Tuner

[The Iceman <icemanle@xxxxxxx>]

I still use a Korg DT-1 (I think that is the model number). Digital light readout and the ability to set the reference point up or down from A-440. Runs on 2 AA batteries. There have been so many tuners on the mkt since I bought mine (20 years ago). I feel the ability to set the reference point is critical for us harmonica players.

prefer not to stock up on a pro shop basis, what tuner should I look for? AND of 
course, if someone is upgrading to a new model, is there a  functional used one 
that may not have all the bells and whistles?
