Qwik Tune Auto-Chromatic Tuner
Item number 2630046DS, $29.95

This is the least expensive auto-chromatic tuner that we've ever seen. Measuring only 4" by 2 1/2" by 1 inch thick, it is convenient to carry everywhere. This model runs on one 9v battery (not included - sorry!). The feature list includes: In & Out jacks (allows the tuner to be used for guitar and other electric instruments), LCD meter AND LED lamps, both of which indicate pitch (sharp, flat, or in tune for the LED's, sliding scale for the LCD meter), Automatic note selection (you play an E, the tuner can recognize that you played an E), as well as unsurpassed all-digital accuracy. This tuner will work for any instrument, and we recommend it to lots of our in-store customers.
 
An external microphone makes it easy to tune in noisy environments - even when other people are playing around you. Just clip the microphone onto your instrument and plug it into the input jack on the tuner.
