Some guitar tuners have a needle which will indicate how far sharp or
flat a note is. Some even can display the pitch of seven octaves. I have
a very old one made by Seiko. Something like that should serve the
purpose that you are looking for.<br><br>

<font face="arial" size="2">Two questions.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size="2"> If there are folks like me, facing trifocals in glasses, have any chosen to put the far range in the middle, and the mid-range in the top? I’m having to get new glasses and I think they will recommend trifocals- me being 67 and all.<br>
</font><br>
<br><br>
<font face="arial" size="2"> Do any of you carry a “tuner”, which will play a wide variety of notes, which will not push the button while in a tool case, thus running down the battery while it lies in the case? I left my tuning fork somewhere, and have found that A-440 in itself does not really indicate if a pitch raise is necessary. I’d like to have something with a slide switch instead of a push button.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="arial" size="2">Thanks for any ideas.<br>
