Way more than I can afford to spend, and gives only four notes.  I want
something with ability to change pitches and a needle showing how far off it
is. I realize this is not for tuning, just for a quick reference for people
who haven't tuned their pianos in ten or more years.  Thanks though.

Hi, Les:
How about the Accu-Fork?  Made by Inventronics (Accutuner folks).  Check it
out.

Two questions. 

If there are folks like me, facing trifocals in glasses, have any chosen to
put the far range in the middle, and the mid-range in the top? I'm having to
get new glasses and I think they will recommend trifocals- me being 67 and
all. 



Do any of you carry a "tuner", which will play a wide variety of notes,
which will not push the button while in a tool case, thus running down the
battery while it lies in the case? I left my tuning fork somewhere, and have
found that A-440 in itself does not really indicate if a pitch raise is
necessary. I'd like to have something with a slide switch instead of a push
button. 

Thanks for any ideas.
