Can anyone recommend this particular one or others? >> If you feel you really need an electronic tuning aid (I use one, but only got it after about 40 years of doing aural tunings), I would stay away from the Korg. Not only does it not have a way of adding stretch, etc., but I found that it tends to wander somewhere around true A440. It seems to change every time you turn it on. I have one that I use only for chipping up when restringing. If you are really on a tight budget, you might look at picking up a used Sight-O-Tuner. They are still much more accurate that most other machines except for the SAT and Yamaha. John Elving, RPT
