I bought a new tuner that I am really pleased with and thought I'd share the information. It is a "Fender" chromatic tuner and is translucent Blue. I bought it primarily because my "normal looking" tuners keep disappearing. I didn't expect much performance, but was suprised. Most notable feature, actually registers a low F (octave below bottom of staff). None of my "nicer" tuners do this nearly as well...I keep picking up more overtones than the pitch I am trying to read. In short, its cheap, ugly, and works well. Not as accurate as a Petersen Strobe, but it is good.
