Yeah!  

I've got the robotic tuner, and, yes,  it is incredibly accurate, however, I 
found it quite tricky to use, I mean, I can use it, but I'm not sure if its 
worth the hassle...  
For instance, if you're tuning the g string, and you accidentally touch the b 
string, then the tuning mechanism will try to tune you're g string to the pitch 
of the b, so you've gotta be seriously careful, cuz not only can you bust 
strings, but if this was to happen, for instance whilst tuning the low e, you 
can seriously damage your axe...  

Just a cautionary word in your 'shell-like'!  grin!  

Mike

  Thanks, Mike.  I called the local music store and they do have it.  I will 
chehck this out today.
  I also just learned about a device called String Master (Musician's Friend) 
that with the help of a 9v battery, will tune your guitar for you, robotically. 
 Around $50.  This is kinda hard to believe, but it's also worth checking out.  
There are good write-ups about it.

  Hey Stacey!  

  I use something called the Boss T U 15.  

  It's a didge tuner, and when your string reaches pitch, it beeps, and the 
beep is the same note as the string you're trying to tune.  
  It will also emit the pitch of the string you wanna tune if you like...  

  It's quite complex, but worx great!  

  Mike

    Hi, folks!  I know most of you are MIDI masters, but how do you guitar 
players, who have no vision like myself, tune your guitars?  Do you use some 
type of accessible software, or do you use your hearing by tuning to a soft 
synth or tuner that emits a tone?  There has to be a way to tune perfectly, but 
I do not know of such a way.  Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
