I have two Korg tuners, one is a DT-3, the other a CA-10. The CA-10 is an inexpensive chromatic tuner ($25 or less) which has an automatic battery shut off. They are both very durable,can be calibrated, and have a sweep needle. The sweep needle is important to me for reed making so I can judge reed stability. I take the CA-10 to band and use a clip microphone on my oboe bell so I can "hear myself" before I play.

I have the Korg CA-10 and bought a Quik Tune for my daughter. Both are very good and under $25.

I have an elderly Seiko tuner - I bought in the first first few years such things were available for about 100 dollars. They are so cheap now. But I love it, I've been using it to learn to play the throat notes in tune (more) and I have used it to learn to sing and tune any number of instruments.

I also have the Korg CA-20. Cost was $24 several
months ago at a local band shop. I've been very
happy with it. It's very compact: 2-1/2" x 4", has a
metering needle as well l.e.d.: green for on pitch, left
red for flat, right red for sharp. It has automatic (gives
read-out of (concert key) note automatically) or manual
(user inputs desired note) settings. It can be calibrated,
if necessary, from A=430 to 449 Hz. It has an RCA plug mic input, which can be used, as Margaret mentioned above, in a group tuning situation. Uses AAA batteries. Hope this helps.

I have a Korg analog gauge auto chromatic tuner that takes a 9 V battery. I don't remember the model number, but the cost via mail order was about $55 (US). It can be calibrated for different base tuning frequencies (i.e. A=440, A=442, etc.) like the other Korg tuners referenced above. I like the ability to change to a different frequency so I can tune to either my standard A=440 barrel or my alternate A=442 barrel. The analog gauge helps me see how close or far away I am from the ideal mark.

I use a Korg DTM 12. It costs more than most others I see in WW/BW's catalogue. It works fine. It does use batteries faster than I would like, so I resist leaving it on unnecessarily. [I now use re-chargeable batteries.]
It has the best sounding metronome I have found.
