Can someone suggest a good tuner. (for acoustic) Preferably a small one to fit in the case pocket with all my other junk. I've had 2 crap out on me in a year. One just quit altogether, and the other shows "b" to be a high "c". Had a nice Korg (black w/red LED's, forgot which model) that lasted 12 years, and now I can't seem to find a good one. What's up with these things? They all being made in China Too? Anybody had one a while that has proven to be reliable?
 
I've got a KORG tuner that seems pretty rugged. I've had it for about 5 years and it's been dropped on concrete floors and still does a great job.
 
For acoustic I have used the Sabine AX-800 for years. Its the slim, creditcard sized piezo style tuner that 'sticks' to your guitar. Works really nice, although in loud settings it can be difficult to tune due to sympathetic guitar top vibrations (from the bass and drums, other guitars etc).

I like the newer Fender pedal tuner for electric as well (PT-10?)

Anyone else out there a tune-aholic? I have to tune between every song quickly (if I can). I hate to be a little out even. I think this is a compulsive disorder.

Cheers!
