I am fond of my Korg chromatic tuner. I have found them to be accurate and
useful. If the tuner has a mic input jack, you can buy a tuner pick up that
clips to your clarinet. This works great when a group is warming up and you
can't use a standard tuner....it picks up mostly your sound. The one I have
is a Matrix MPU-2 by Kaman Music Corp. and available in several music
instrument catalogs.
