Well it arrived - and it's brilliant!!!! It's very cute, very ergonomic and easy to use (it clips to the scroll with big soft rubber feet), and very accurate. On the screen is a little red heart that you can set to beat as a metronome but I don't think that will be much use - too small to see - and I have another metronome anyway. But as a tuner it's excellent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's called a 'Snark SN-2' but its pet name will be 'Sniff' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Here it is: (IMG:http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/zilloot/violas%20violins/Snark2.jpg) And this is what I see as I play and tune at the same time looking down the fingerboard.... (IMG:http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s225/zilloot/violas%20violins/Snark1.jpg) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) The reason I'm very angry is because I paid ?21 for it from a mail-order company I shall not name... only to find out that the RRP is ONLY ?18 and that you can buy it from Amazon for half what it cost me. That makes me feel just completely ripped off but also rather STUPID because it hadn't occurred to me to look for it on Amazon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I can't return it because I had taken the battery out of its packaging and installed it before I found out!! I could have used the ?10 I would have saved to buy more music (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In case anyone wants one here's the Amazon link - Really cute tuner at a DECENT price here

I paid ?17 for mine like a year ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
