Randy, many electronic tuners can make noise. then it's just a
matter of being accurate. Maybe you need to check out the biggest
music store in your area and see what models they suggest. You
don't need a sighted person around to operate many tuners out there.
Or, check out the String Master Robotic Guitar Tuner at
www.actiontuners.com
It doesn't make noise, but it automatically tunes the string for
you! Stick it on the tuner, pluck the string, and it does the rest.

Thanks Bill. I can tune fairly close by ear, but not as close on some days
as on others. I'm just hoping for a way to tune very accurately without
having to use an electronic tuner which must be intepreted by a sighed
person. Thanks again. Randy
