If you've got the money, go for a tuner which plays an audible tone. If you don't (like me) go for
any one on the market by one of the major manufacturers. I've got a Yamaha TD1. You can set it to
the pitch of your instrument (C, F, Bb, Eb) and so it will indicate the note as fingered (concert if
set to C, obviously) which saves you thinking about transposition.

...unless you're warming up your A clarinet...

I paid £38 (GBP) for mine. Probably around $50-60.
