A new tuner - info for all harpists!

As many of you know I'm pretty obsessed with the search for a great tuner. For a while I very happily recommended the Intelli MT500 which is the main tuner I use, having bought up all the ones left in Canada when they decided to stop production. Why did they do that???  (I've seen some what I think are knock-offs on the web for very high prices. ignore that.. and read on)

In the past 5 years, since the Intelli's were discontinued I have purchased way more clip on tuners than anyone should - and rejected them all as irritating in one way or the other. (I should hold a garage sale!)

But - when I was in China last fall I brought back 5 of the new Aroma AT-102 clip on tuners. The screen is not as nice to use as the intelli, but everything else is as good or better.  Easy to find a position you can read it in. Picks up the really low notes and the highest strings - amazing. Tells you how many cents your up or down, which is more fun than the lights going to the middle of the display. But here is the best part - it's powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery and comes with its own USB cable. I've been using then on various tuning keys for a couple of months now, and have more than half a charge in all of them. No more polluting the world with those mercury coin batteries. Happy day!

I see that they are on amazon.ca for 15.99   https://www.amazon.ca/Rechargeable-Rotatable-Electronic-Battery-Chromatic/dp/B01FUFVHWY

You need to order in bulk to get the red and blue and white ones, so you'll have to stick to black - no, I didn't know colours were available when I was in China - mine are black. It's fine.
