On the advice of several people on this list, I recently bought the
Sonic Research ST-122 Strobe Tuner. It works a treat - amazingly
accurate - you can use it to set your frets. And you can program
custom temperaments. It even picks up very clearly the bass notes on
a clavichord - which is something no tuner I've used previously has
managed to do... But does it produce sounds? - don't know - I'd have
to check when I get home.
Here's a link to Sonic Research:

They were happy to ship internationally.
(BTW Omer - I believe our lutes are related - I got my 7c Hans Frei
type from James Marriage shortly after you did.)

I'm still looking for a new shiny tuner, my old one...well, old.
long time ago Korg had the OT-12 (i think it was 12) tuner, a nice
tuner, memory, all kind of neat stuff. my friend has it and she's
using it to tune her viol.
now, Korg have only the OT-120, no memory, few presets. but again,
no memory. the presets are nice touch to it, but i cant build my
own like in the older model and i really don't want to use
automatic tuning, i want to hear the sound, like in the old days
when i was young and stupid.
any way now... i really need a new tuner. so any suggestions for a
nice and shiny tuner will be accepted. i also accept lutes, if you
want to send me one or two.
thank you,
Omer
